On The Wings Of My Dream In The Greater Scheme Of Things
1st Annual OTWOMD Christmas Tree Blog Parade Year 2007
The Christmas Tree Blog Parade will be Featured on the Feast of the Lord’s Epiphany or widely known as the feast of the Three Kings which is today (January 6, 2008), the official end of the Christmas Season. Conceptualizing this project was not easy. I have to figure out the feasibility of this tag. I also considered that not all bloggers are Christians or if they are, would have the tradition of putting up Christmas trees in their homes during Christmas. But then again, as a family oriented man, I see Christmas trees as a symbol, not just of the Holy Family, but also the family in general.
Having no Christmas tree during Christmas is empty for us since we always put under the tree the presents and gifts for our family members, relatives, God-Children and now, our nephews and nieces. It is a tradition that we were accustomed to. Least to say, The primary goal of the Christmas meme has nothing to do with the decoration nor the pomp and fame of lifestyle each blogger had during the Christmas season. But as always, OTWOMD considers the deeper meaning of every post, and in this case, the meme that it has to promote. This meme was originally conceptualize in order to:
- Promote the spirit of Christmas in the cyberspace
- Spread awareness of the true meaning of the Christmas Tree
- Encourage the family members to have a bonding around the Christmas tree
- promote Christmas cheer and camaraderie among bloggers
Though the turn out of the participants were not that numerous, but the viability of success of this meme was measured on the richness of the creativity and effort that each blogger has put up in their entries. To sum it up, this Family-oriented Christmas project is deemed by OTWOMD a success.
I would personally like to thank everyone who participated in this project for their selfless effort considering that it’s really not easy to find a tree, or put up a tree in advance, or unexpectedly, take a self photo of other’s Christmas trees just to participate. I am very much thankful for all of you especially during the times that I was busy with my review and exam.
I would also like to apologize for those who participated but did not put up a picture of a Christmas tree. I did not include their entries because there is no Christmas Tree to show. I don’t want to surmise that they only put up an entry just to ride on the tag train, but rules are rules.
With this, let me welcome you to the Official Entries of the 2007 OTWOMD Christmas Tree Blog Parade in order of appearance in the blogosphere. Witness the Christmas Spirit of People around the world reflected through their Christmas trees, big or small, simple or elegant, yet full of the joys and Happiness of the Christmas Season.
* * * * * * * * * *
And Next year (or this coming December of 2008), the Christmas Tree Blog Parade will be bigger.
Thank you so much for all your support.
See you next year for the next 2nd Annual Christmas Tree Blog Parade 2008! May the Lord Bless you and your Family this year!

Oo nga brods. sabi nga nila wla daw jan ready made trees tulad dito na pwede itabi sa cabinet.
Bro, it’s because my mentor in blogging is really superb kaya ako natuto. magaling kasi yung mentor ko eh. nabanggit ko ata sayo na idol ko sya and rooting for him on this year’s Phil Blog Awards. Baka kilala mo yun. sa kanya ako palagi nagtatanong eh, JPH ang initials hehe…
I wish you all the best in 2008 jaypee. and I am hoping that you will bag the prize this time. You deserve it, overdue na brother.

Hello Scart. Yes, i just came back this january from hibernation.
Ayos lang yung title, at least nagawa mo pa rin haha. dumaan naman sya sa technorati eh. Purpose kolang naman para madali ko maidentify ang entries from technorati.
Next year sali ka ulit ha. and thank you for visiting my blog. I will blog hop soon. unahin ko lang mga pendingko sa blog ko. sa toto lang kasi di ako makabloghop pag di tapos backlog ko sa blog ko. excemption lang iba blog kasi chatroom yung kanila hehe. Next year sali ka uli ha.
Meron din naman mga artificial, ready-made Christmas tress dito pero I think mas madami ang gumagamit ng tunay na tree.
Sino ba yon mentor mo? Pakilala mo naman ako kasi kailangan ko tulong nya. Hehe
Thank you very much! About the awards thing, we’ll see. It’s nice to be a part of it and winning it would be something but I don’t want to expect too much. If God’s will, it will come. But thanks for the kind words and the support. I really appreciate it.
Btw, how’s it going with your plans of coming over here? Did you take the NCLEX exams already?

Tol, count me in as one of your staunchest ally and supporter sa blog awards. I am 100% supporting you. Papalahin natin ang mga ka-WPP natin haha. You really deserve it. As early as October ata last year nang bra-brainwash na ako na supportahan ka if ever manominate ka eh. LOL. Dont worry, this is not a press realease, I will really support you on this one. Not just because you are my buddy here, but also because I really believe that you are such a great blogger. napakadami ko natutunan sayo. Hoping really on my part that this could be your year.
I took the exam last Dec. 26 and still waiting for the result.
