Tom yam is always sooooooooo
First Christmas tree blog parade
it is finally UP! our tree i mean.
i would have written about it anyway but now there’s a sweet Christmas tree tag from THESS!
we don’t really have a “theme” per se, we just put up everything that will fit, favorites first.
i’ve got it down to a somewhat manageable process, with three biggish boxes of ornaments (mostly little toys; i’m partial to handcrafted wooden ornaments and glass and ceramic. i don’t really like tinsel and glass bolabolas .). my beloved ones are those made by the kids when they were in pre-school.
we’ve collected quite a few over the years. we once had a mishap, in 2001, nay! it was a Christmas tree disaster! that reduced me to tears at 2 a.m. in the morning, when our usually well-behaved gentle cat Murphy climbed up the tree and crashed and “trashed” it, shards of broken glass and water all over the hardwood floors. since then we replaced the tree stand and now tie the tree to a wall support, and i haven’t bought any more glass icicles.
every year i “threaten” to get a plastic pre-lit tree but the kids will have none of that. i guess we all love the scent and “ambience” it brings to our house. it does take a lot of work and we try to bribe be gentle with our “handyman” to persuade him to help us bring a tree home from the (Home Depot) lot.
this year we got a sturdy stout Frasier fir–with lots of strong branches for the ornaments. it doesn’t look so droopy like the balsam usually gets.

This is a first annual 2007 Christmas Tree Blog Parade Meme created and conceptualized by OTWOMD of Bluepanjeet.Net The purpose of this meme is to enliven the Christmas spirit by showing to the world our very own Christmas trees. They say that it is on the Christmas tree that best describes how a person celebrates Christmas. So here are the rules:
1. Copy the Logo of this meme (Download it on the sidebar and resize it that will best fit your blog or according to your desire) and post it on your entry.
2. Take a photo of your Christmas tree inside your house. A whole shot is the most appropriate photo. And post it on your entry
3. Tell something about your Christmas tree like who decorated it, what are the ornaments and accessories, or what is the theme and meaning of your Christmas tree this year.
4. You can put any title on your meme but don’t forget to include this “2007 1st Christmas Tree Blog Parade”.
5. Do the link train history. Put the link of your previous bloggers who tagged you and your own link, Example: Tag History: Bluepanjeet - “you” -
The link train will provide clue on “who tagged who” and at the same time a reference of data for the creator of this meme.
On The feast of Three Kings on January (The official ending of the Christmas Season), Bluepanjeet.Net will launch a mini site that will feature all of the participant’s Christmas trees for 2007 with a link back to their site. That is why it is very vital that you maintain the link history so that your Christmas tree will be included in the Christmas tree blog parade of 2007 and will be a part of history.
