Christmas in July... Think about it...


Sometimes we let society put pressure on us that is not really good for us or required. Sometimes we just need some cheer in our lives.... When was the last time you did something crazy? Just because you could? That is what happened last Saturday at a friends house... We had Christmas in July... because we could.

You know how stressful the holiday season can be with the months of build up. Will I buy the right gift? What will I wear? Who will be there and do I have to be nice? It just tears us all apart. Imagine all of it happening in just a few quick days and then it is gone.

To set the stage there was a Christmas tree all decked out. Those blow up things in the yard, with Santa riding a Harley. Oh, and as you can see even Sponge Bob dropped by. There was holiday cheer complete with Christmas music, and because it is southern California, nice warm weather... uh... almost like December.

We had a white elephant gift exchange... something around twenty dollars or so and no gift cards although a couple of people cheated. A gift could be stolen up to three times... and as I stole one gift from a friend and had it stolen from me by another. It was my turn to open yet another package and when selecting the other gift... I heard a scream of OH NO... rule is if you touch it; it is yours. Turned out to be a gift that was given to me and I had given it at another white elephant before... So, watch at Christmas time as it will be back out there again...

What does this have to do with real estate? Nothing... have some fun once in a while and remember to laugh, that is how I stay somewhat sane. Cheers, Jeff
