This Year's Most Popular Christmas Ornament Takes the

Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex Area by Storm!!!

Yes folks, it's true!

Stores in the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area of North Carolina are jam packed

with shoppers clamoring over this year's "must have" Christmas ornament!

And, while some stores might be all sold out,

your humble Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area Real Estate agent has a few of

these ornaments tucked away and ready for purchase.

But to keep it fair, I've decided to auction them off rather than sell them!

Place your highest and best bid in the comments section!

Good luck everyone!

I heard the Craig Spam ornament even beat out Target's Jersey Girl Snookie ornament - now that's saying something! Luckily I pick mine up before they ran out!

Craig, it's easy to see why that tasty ornament would be the most popular ornament around, but I kind of thought it would be the one below:

Hey boys and girls don't forget about this very special Craig Rutman ornament

Kerrie - And it'll even tell you you look great on your worst days! No batteries required as this one is beer powered! NO returns. You take me in and I'm here to stay!!! Buy one get one... One of me is scary enough!

Laura - Ooooh. Should have gotten your order in on time. That coupon is expired now!!!

Nick - That one is selling fast. But the Spam one can be eaten too! So it serves a double purpose!!!

Sharon - Just me being me Sharon!

Endre - You have a horizontal Christmas tree? Oh well, I guess it's better than my tree....

Laura - No way! Your coupon is expired! And you need to send certified funds! Your last check bounced all the way back to WI!!!

Ah ah ah! I beg to differ Mr.Rutman! See the time stamp on my comment,...

And the check, isn't it supposed to do that? How else can I use them over and over again?
