Christmas as Tarot Cardds
My blue scarf ...
What did you get for Christmas? I don't mean the price tag or the lavishity degree. Let's read our Christmas presents like a Tarot spread.
For example, one guy whose marriage is in trouble received a pair of hiking boots from his wife. Does she .... want him to "take a hike"?
My Xmas list, the part I choose to share, reveals a message when you realize I live in perpetually sunny 80 degree Southern California.
I got: a GPS system, black velvet gloves and a blue cashmere scarf. Seems people think I'll be traveling to cold climates this year?
What do your gifts reveal? Please feel free to comment.

2 cookbooks, some vanilla spice body products from the Body Shop...so hubby wants me to be domestic? L also gave me a gift card for said Body Shop...I chose to think...wants me to smell and look pretty.
Also earrings from my sister, more body products...hmmm...I'm seeing lots of things to make me feel and look pretty...:)
My bike was replaced by a nicer one, I live on an island and biking is one of my favorite things. My 8 year old t-boned my last one a few months ago. My artist girlfriends made gifts for my tree and daughter. I received perfume and lovely body cream and new makeup. A honey ham and victorian arrangment also arrived.
I received new cookware and comfy socks from my mother.
um......nothing?? except a few drinks from a friend who owns a restaurant.
...if you go this year to the San Francisco Chinese New Year's Parade you have your new gloves and scarf!
Christmas Eve I was treated to an excellent Italian dinner. I received a stuffed toy duck for Fritzl, my dachshund and best friend. A day at the Joffrey Ballet watching the Nutcracker, it was a splendid performance. Then a fine dinner at one of Chicago's best Greek Restaurants, The Pegasus. So I guess I'll be doing a lot of eating this year. Sounds good to me.
It's a lovely idea -- as valid as dream interpretation or symptom interpretation.
Let's see: I got a bees wax bowl votive candle, some grace philosophy shampoo, a pearl necklace, natural thank you notes and paper, some ginger sea salt soap, a hand-made Christmas ornament made from multi-colored glass beads, some stones with healing properties.
I don't know what the "message" is -- but it feels nurturing, reflective of beauty in nature
My father-in-law made me a beautiful table to go along with a shelf that he'd made me the year before. Both pieces were made to house my collection of herbs that I use for making all sorts of potions and concoctions. The in-laws also gave me a gift card to Best Buy, and my boyfriend is giving me a trip to a day spa for some serious pampering and relaxation.
Maybe this year I need to relax and pay more attention to my creative endeavors?
Emu boots (Uggs), a new dress coat, jogging suit and stuff for my Wii Fit.
We skipped presents this year in order to take a cruise later in the year. : )
What I didn't get that I wanted was an Astrology Calendar.....well...I guess I got that now too! -dd
That's a brilliant thought...will certainly apply that to my Christmas/holiday experience.
a deck of cards, high high heels, and a leopard skin dress

I received a book about opera from a person with whom it had been a bone on contention. I think it was a peace offering.
I received TWO pairs of reading glasses. It seems I haven't been seeing things too clearly??
I received a casual top that is the favorite thing I have ever owned which is made of acrylic, which is a fabric the giver does not like. They wear only natural fibers. I think they were sincerely trying to think of what I like - and they scored a big 10.
I received a gift card for Southwest. It seems there is travel in my future??
COMMENTS on others':
When I think of quality, I think of pearls, diamonds, Kashmir sapphires, cashmere, Joffrey Ballet Nutcracker and opera.
Maybe those gloves were silk or velour, and glam, like for a banquet, gala or a new very wealthy lifestyle.
Two BODY Shop gifts from 2 different men. I think your body is much admired. :-)
Hand-made Christmas ornament? Anything hand-made is very special.
I got nothing from my life partner.
I got money (which I needed) from my father and sister. I got cookies and a roasting chicken and more money from customers.
I gave myself a chiropractic appt and massage. I wanted my sciatica to get better and a new job for xmas. I think I will get them.
