One week til Christmas Eve

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Sharon Lee's Virtual Assistance

Hi Everybody-Can you believe it is only one week til Christmas Eve? Now the last place you would normally ever find me on Christmas Eve is in a store doing Christmas shopping. I am not a big fan of shopping anyways but to go on the craziest shopping day of the year next to Black Friday. No WAY!!!!

Yeah I know, not a normal woman to not like shopping. I also don't have a closet full of shoes and I can use a miter saw, drill etc. but am lucky if I can sew on a button. OH WELL! God made us all unique. He just made me unique and strange. Yet I am very lucky to have friends like all of you that like me in spite of that.<SMILE>

Well this Christmas Eve will be different. I found out tonite I will be in the stores Christmas Eve afternoon and of all places I will be in Wal-Mart. I must be just as crazy as the rest of the folks out there in the mad last minute rush. Well there is ONLY one reason I am doing this and that is because I won't be driving or going by myself.

The realtor lady I work for wants to go.  Since I haven't seen her much since I started working my other job and then I will be spending Christmas Eve with her and her husband later and exchange gifts then I said why NOT. She gets all excited about Christmas so we will have fun and I don't have to fight the traffic

So what will you be doing Christmas Eve? Will you be out fighting the crowds or home enjoying Christmas Eve with family and friends?

I can't believe that this year is almost in the books, it's like a blinked and it was just gone. However, I am looking forward to seeing all my family over the Christmas Holidays.

Hi Irene, Laura, Andrea, Andrea and JL-I like the idea of spending the time with her but the crowded road and store I won't enjoy. I will try to see it thru her eyes. Hope you all have a great Christmas. <SMILE>

Sharon, I hope you have a wonderful holiday!  It sounds like you have some nice plans.  I will be cooking and we normally celebrate Christmas Eve more than the day so I'll be with family.  It's going to be extra nice this year.....

I agree with you and just found out we have more in common than I knew before.  I hate shopping.  Have one brown pair, one black pair, sneakers and lots of flip flops in my shoe bin in the closet.  And I can build cabinets, so I'm no stranger to a miter saw either.  And if I haven't gotten it to my house by December 23rd, well they just aren't getting it from me.  Shopping on Christmas Eve.  Nope, not me.

Where will I be?  Home... until around 6, then church.  We have a silent communion on Christmas Eve.  A time to reflect about God's sacrifice, the birth and ultimate death of his only son so I have the gift of eternal life by the feet of God in heaven.  So that's my plans for Christmas Eve.  Merry Christmas and I'm glad you are out catching up with all of us.  Miss you.

Sharon, I have a few more presents to buy.  If it stops snowing, I may be able to finish before Christmas Eve. I plan to go to Church and come home to a nice warm fire and a cup of eggnog on Christmas Eve.

Hi Tammy-I am so not a lover of shopping but do it out of necessity. I think that is cool that you can use a miter saw. We most definitely have a lot more in common including going to church on Christmas Eve. I love Christmas music. I have missed you and everyone else. Have a great weekend. <SMILE>

Hi Rebecca-I do as well but nothing major. One stop will take care of it. I plan on church on Christmas Eve as well. I love it. <SMILE>

Hi Sheldon-Trust me normally I wouldn't be either. Now home with warm slippers sounds heavenly. I got one person left to get for and that is the bosses hubby and all that is will be his favorite alcohol beverages and scratch off lottery tickets. Easy!!! Have a great weekend as well. Glad that wolf didn't get you. <SMILE>

Hi Toula-That sounds like a great plan. This is a first and rare Christmas Eve for me so I am just going to enjoy the time with my dear friend and realtor boss. I don't have to drive so that is good. The crowds I am sure will be horrendous especially with this storm that has stopped a lot of stuff for a few days. Have a happy Sunday. <SMILE>

Hi Laura-That sounds really interesting. I have been to midnight mass but not in a long time. I generally always make the 6 pm. service. Have a Merry Christmas. <SMILE>

I'm still behind Sharon with the shopping. Does your Virtual Assistant business extend as a Virtual Shopper for me this week???! <Smile>. Arrrrgh. This is NOT an easy time of year for me. BTW, I was checking out the faces of ALL men out shopping the other day, and NOT ONE had a smile on his face. I think this is so not something designed for our cave man selves. I go to Midnight Mass but lately I fall asleep at around 1:30 a.m. I think I am getting old LOL.
