Merry Christmas - First Official Active Rain Holiday Greeting of 2007

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !

I would like to be be the first to wish you all a Happy Holidayand start the controversy rolling. Last years Bahh Humbug over why "Merry Christmas" should or should not be used in today's society was a real bummer so, since Wal-Mart can get away with stocking Christmas items in September.....l am proud to be the first to wish you all a very,
Merry Christmas.

May all of your dreams come true and may you experience success beyond your expectations. Whether or not you celebrate Christmas. My best wishes are offered to EVERYONE....equally, and without regard to the holiday you celebrate!

  AR Merry Christmas - Mission Grove Realty   

Twas' 3 months before Christmas and all round the Rain
Were posts of real estate's doom... Just who was to blame?

Agents round' the country, hung signs and placed ads with great care
In hopes they would find a buyer....but where?

They placed ads in the paper. Sent emails and flyers
Could another agent help to find us some buyers?

With Ma working overtime , and I working late
Could a mortage collapse help in sealing our fate? 

What would so many do that were conceding defeat
Get holiday jobs hocking tubes of chopped meat?

These holiday questions I pose to all here
While I sit back and crack open another cold beer. 

Are you part of the problem or part of the cure
Are you convinced ........ are you sure?

For all of the others relying on talismans and charms
We will see you round Christmas at Hickory Farms.

The cure, definitely...oh and I don't celebrate pagan holidays either. By the way what do you get if you move the letters around in "Santa", what color does he wear?, where does he enter into the home....are you scratching your head now?

You are too funny.  We did have pictures of snow on the news last night here in Minneapolis.  The shots were from last winter, but we did have frost advisories last night!  And to think, last week we were in the 90s.  I admit, you are the first to wish me merry christmas.  But the real question is....do you have your shopping done yet??

Finally someone who thinks like me...LOL I am so ready to get out all of the Christmas decorations too!

Merry Christmas to you too!

Good job Chris, your poetic prowess is refreshing. I also want to wish you a happy 4th of July 2008.
Posted by Rob Baldwin, Santa Clarita REALTOR® (SCV Home Buyer) over 2 years ago

Sally: Your are welcome. Heck, if Wal-Mart can do it....so can I. Have you seen the increase in ads targeting childern already?

Nicole: We are all entiltled to our beliefs. I wont judge you....or anyone else based only on that.

Shawna: It's sunny and warm in California too. Will be at Christmas as well! Yes, I just had my first deliveries today. Will be done in a week or two. I like to avoid the rush and enjoy watching others scurry around like rats on a hunt for a scap of cheese. All my shooping is done online. Most of it through American Express. A great way to go!

BLR Guy: Go for it! Be the first on your block. I have a friend who installed of the his lights under the eaves behind the facia. He painted all of the cords and just removes the bulbs after Christmas. When he is ready....just screw in the bulbs an plug em in. I dont know if he really saves any time having to screw in 1,000 or so bulbs though. Merry Christmas!

Rob: I will get out the BBQ this weekend and have a little 4th of July celebration in your honor!

Chris, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year anytime of the year you want.  You always make me laugh.
Posted by Ruth Jacobs - North Palm Beach Real Estate Specialist (Quantum One Realty) over 2 years ago

Chris,

In getting to know you this year, the one thing I can count on is to never count on what you are going to do next.  It must be a very strange experience living with your brain inside your head.

Glad to call you a friend,

John

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Jonathan: Right back at you.

Ruth: Thank you. It is always a pleasure to hear from you.

John: What? Do you know someone who has been living there? Or....did you mean that my brain should be somewhere other than where it is? Glad to have you on our team.

Christopher

I am getting ready to go on my cruise and I hope Santa does not bring me Snow.  LOL,

Leave it to Wal-Mart to start promoting Christmas 4 months early.  Their motto, "buy it first, buy it cheap",

Anyhow really liked your post.

Chrstopher - your little poem was certainly entertaining.

Ho Ho Holy cow...thanks for the poetry, Mr. Ginsburg.

Are you guys coming over for Kwanzaa again this year?  Last year was off da hizzook!

Posted by Hemet Home Loan Guy, Joey Aszterbaum (Jolynne Photography) over 2 years ago

Merry Christmas, Christopher!  We have a friend that sends us a Christmas card every year in July--I think it's a pretty cool idea.

Posted by Michelle Ewing, Riverside, CA (Trademark Realtors) over 2 years ago

Joey: See you there as always. Your wife puts out quite a feast!

Michelle: This is definitely a year to get into the spirit early!!!

You, my friend, are warped!  LOL  But I like that in a person!

Merry Christmas to you too!

You all in Hemet have way too much fun.  Maybe I should consider relocating.  :) 
Posted by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe) over 2 years ago

Carol: Right back at you....I appreciate your support!

Doreen: Not much Different here than the Phoenix area. I do love Arizona....The Biltmore is my favorite haunt , Taliesin West is nearby , The Heard museum is worth a little drive and so much more. Too hot for me right now but, I will be out in winter! Have you been out this way? I think the ocean and the mountains tend to have an effect on us......too much natural beauty for our tiny brains.

Posted by Christopher Walker California Bank Owned Property (Mission Grove Realty - (951) 927-8940 - REO Real Estate) over 2 years ago

I do love the ocean, could sit watching and listening for hours.  And, I could sit up in the mountains and listen to the wind in the trees for days.  (I call that 'rest for the brain') 

I have been to California several times.  Not sure where Hemet is.  I lived in San Jose for about six months, a long time ago.  Love San Diego.   My Niece attended cheer camp at Point Loma Nazarene, I went over with her mother and whoa, what a beautiful place! 

I keep saying I am going to visit Taliesin West...          ...one day  :) 

 

 

Merry Christmas ;)
