 The December Challenges . . . Keeping the Christmas Spirit and Working to Maintain The Business 

 

There are 11 shopping days until Christmas. For some that's enough time, for others still no need to be alarmed, and for the people we all love to hate, they had their Christmas shopping done before Labor day.

If you haven't even thought about it yet, good luck.

♫  Dashing through the mall...
On a late December day,
Through the $tores we go
Charging all the way...

Ching ... Ching ... Ching ...

Bell$ on register$ ring
Making checkbook$ light,
Oh, what fun it is to buy up
Everything in $ight!

Ching ... Ching ... Ching ...

Jingle Bells Jingle Bells
The kids all yell and scream
To us it sounds like anarchy
But to them it's harmony-HEY! ♫

 

31 Days of Christmas Challenge

Day 14:  Today was a day on the phone. I had calls to make for the transactions that are still trying to close this year. There were calls to make to prospective clients. There were calls to because of the operation of the business, and I ordered new yard and directional signs.

Today I was negotiating a short sale HUD while ordering slippers via Amazon for my wife!  I love Amazon and I am glad we got the decorations up early this year!

Hi Ed:

You've got to keep on top of the existing transactions in order to get to closing.

Stefan, it's against the rules of Christmas to do your shopping from a computer. Santa needs to fell the scent of other people pushing and shoving for it to be legitimate

Toula, as the saying goes, It ain't over til' it's over! the transaction is like a small child, constant attention until the last document is signed at closing.

Trevor, thanks for stopping, glad to oblige

Tammy, thanks for stopping. Glad you like the song.

Juli, no reports of abuse today? Oh well, thanks for stopping

Andrea, Andrea, Andrea, such indecision. Do you have those same feelings with clients?  Take a few minutes, get over to the super CVS and get that shopping done!!!!!!!!

I think continuing to maintain your work ethic during this time is crucial if you want to start of the year well!

Another one! By Jove, I think you've got it down pat, Ed! How many other carols can you monkey around with?

Yes, it's a busy time of year, but as you are demonstrating, it is just as essential to do the things that will keep business coming our way for the upcoming year.

Bill we need to focus harder when there are distractions, and the Christmas Holidays can make us lose our focus.

William were you tapping your foot and swaying in the chair when you readsang it?
