"Coupon" for one free week for room and board (well, really just board, but whatever) from mom.
and $60 in $10 bills. For you non-canadian folk who don't know, those are our purple bills. xd


I also went and bought myself (using money that I got for a gift from grandma) a new tea pot. It's really cool, it has a part to put loose tea in, but has a levery bit so that you can take the tea out of the water once it's steeped enough--Letting you enjoy your tea for as long as it takes you to finish it all.
I also got myself a travel mug with a part for loose tea that goes up and down with a lever too. It's very nice.

Well, that was quite possibly the purpliest Christmas I've ever had. xd

...It's just a matter of time.

D: YOU HAVE A PURPLE TREE? SO JEALOUS!
We did not exchange gifts- it was the rule if we wanted to have Christmas at my parent's house. There could be no gift giving otherwise it'd never happen again... except it did not happen at all... so we did not get gifts. However, my husband and I bought my family some host/hostess gifts which would have been for thanking them for letting us celebrate over there and such. :/  

[Theodra]

Things that I got:
Winter Classic Penguins T-Shirt, Letang style.
Digital Camera (It's PURPLE!).
Avada Kedavra wrist bands.
New Boyz T-Shirt.
A black scarf with a big bow.
A raccoon winter hat.
A watch.
A key necklace.
A pillow pet giraffe.
Makeup brushes that are japanese-like.
A really nice cardigan sweater.

I'll take some sweet pics with
my new camera later. I didn't
even ask for one.

That is the purpose of the purple disco tree: to spread purpley holiday cheer.

Oh, I forgot to list a bottle of disaronno! It's not purple, but it will be enjoyed, yessiree.

As happy as I am with all of my stuff, (seriously, when I finally move out I'm going to have the most awesomest kitchen ever) I was happier to give away stuff.

For mom, I got a usb beverage fridge (it holds one can), keyboard cleaning putty, headphones, and an umbrella
For my stepfather I got bacon salt (yes, it's exactly what it sounds like) and an electronic guitar shirt. BTW, he's really just a big kid. I probably shouldn't have given him something that makes noise, but oh well. xd

EDIT: Oh, I didn't know you were interested in Tarot. I've been kinda reading them for a while. I get good at it, stop, forget everything I learn, get into it again...same cycle every time.

My best recommendation would be, after you've read a book or something a few times and generally know what the major arcana, numbers, and suits mean, go through the entire deck and write down what you think each one means on your own. Especially if it's not a standard tarot deck, but another kind of oracle deck.

...It's just a matter of time.
