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.

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.

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?

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.
