Christmas Came Early to this Canton MA Buyer Broker

Earlier this week, early Tuesday morning I was working, as usual. I was on my computer, checking the MLS, blogging, tweeting & checking in on Facebook - personal and business. In my newsfeed, I saw a post from The Village Shoppes in Canton MA. I am a fan on Facebook and so they are in my newsfeed.

Gillette Stadium Imagine my surprise when I saw a post about their contest for tickets to a Patriots Game on Saturday December 24th. The post said something like "Congratulations to Christine S of Canton for being the winner of our drawing for Patriots tickets to this Saturday's game." I wondered....could it be me? I think I remember entering that contest but I could not be sure. The post said that they would be emailing the winner.

So I waited patiently. Well, almost as patiently as a little kid waits for Santa Claus! When no email arrived I commented on the post, saying I was "a" Christine S from Canton....could it be that I was the winner? They answered that they had left a message on the winner's phone.

My phone! Where was it! Oh yes....I had left it charging! I ran to get it & sure enough I WAS the Christine S of Canton who had won the tickets! (The email must have ended up as spam!)

Christmas had come early to this Canton MA Buyer Broker!

So yes, the game is on Christmas Eve....but it is at 1:00 pm so early enough for my husband and I to enjoy the game and be home in time for the evening's festivities. It may put a bit of a cramp in my preparations for Christmas Day but I am sure I can fit it all in.

Thank you to the Village Shoppes in Canton MA - your spot for local shopping in Canton MA - for running this promotion! Remember to support our local merchants!

And I am starting to think that there are six degrees of separation to Active Rain! Starbucks at The Village Shoppes was the location for the most recent Massachusetts Meet Up and Patriot Place in Foxboro was the spot for our first Massachusetts Meet Up!

Barbara....I was so surprised! I did a post already on Patch & feature them quite often in my local blogging.

Justin & Krystal....I was sure it was someone else! Luckily the game is at 1:00 so I have time for it all.

Making Real Estate Profitable

Dashing through the rain
In a Toyota Rav4 truck
O'er the aisles I go
Shopping all the way
Grocery treats I buy
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A grocery song this morn'!

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to cook
On a fab gas stove this morn'- hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to cook
On a fab gas stove this morn' -hey!

A day or two ago
I thought to make tamales
This crazy thought I had
kept flying through my head
The pork was fresh and lean
The corn shucks were to soak
I laughed and danced because I found
my tamales to be yum!

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to cook
On a fab gas stove this morn'- hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to cook
On a fab gas stove this morn' -hey!

Merry Christmas!

By the time you read this, you'll probably know whether you were naughty or nice. Look under the Christmas tree.... no presents? naughty.... I'm guessing they'll be lots of presents.

Merry Christmas Day!

Connie....it was a lot of fun!

Thanks Russel!

I hope you enjoyed the game, Christine, and got back home to enjoy all the festivities! How did the Uggs and other items go over? Btw, I had a good laugh at your comment about the Meet Ups at Patriots' Place and Starbucks. If that's the case, I'm waiting for the lottery to catch up with me, too!

Dec 26, 2011 02:57 PM

Nina...The game was fun, even if it was a little cold. We had to leave before the end but were able to wait until the Patriots took the lead. The first half of that game was ugly! As for Christmas, everyone enjoyed their gifts. One pair of Uggs was too small so we are off today to exchange them!
