Not much. I might call a few clients to wish them a happy Christmas, but have found most people are so busy, a call is more effective after all the holiday hoopla. I do, however, send out a New Years greeting card to about 100 clients thanking them for their support in the past year and wishing them a wonderful new year.

Yes, I always co-host a Christmas Party for my networking partners, especially my Veterans turned entrepreneurs. I also attend annually, the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce's Christmas Party at the world famous Hotel Del Coronado.

We host an appreciation/charity event each year at our home and our clients/guests bring warm blankets for the local shelter.
This year, we found out a local children's hospital was in need of children's books written in Spanish so, we also collected books.

At the office I decorate and on occassion slip in a Christmas CD otherwise all tradition is at home which includes the usual Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS .
Christmas Eve candle lighting service, head home to open gifts. We open our gifts one at a time starting with the youngest in family to oldest, even if it takes hours.
Christmas Day we see what Santa has put in our stockings hanging in front of the fireplace. Big formal meal at 3:00 PM.
Lots of prayers of thanks to God the Father for the gift of His Son Jesus Christ through out the holiday.

To make up for all the nights and weekends I’m away from my wife I try to cut back and take a few days off.
However, I have an eager young couple I’ll be out showing houses to on this Friday night before Christmas.
The beat goes on.

Other than sending cards the only work-related activities I do at this time of year is beginning tax preparation, organizing files, creating new files, and purging old files. Q-4 seems to be a tradition for me ... to be the busiest time of year working with clients.

I send a special gift to those who did business with me this year. This year I made Christmas Tree Ornaments and put a picture of the house they bought or the house they sold or a picture from the closing or final walk through. Something that would be a good memory for many years to come. So far it's been a real hit. Clients are raving how much they love the ornaments.
I also sent a Christmas card to the agents I co-broked with this year thanking them for a wonderful transaction and "Let's do it again!"
And I send out about 2,000 Refrigerator Calendars to clients who have bought or sold in the past 25 years. That's my one big mailing per year.
