From my girlfriend Janice Strachan in Coquitlam BC and to all her friends around the world… Happy Holidays and a fabulous…amazing 2012!!!
Not a lawyer was stirring, as we shall soon learn;
Computers turned off, no files to close,
Stockings hung at reception, with pretty red bows;
Tony at his desk, what was he doing there,
Sound asleep he was, right there in his chair;
While visions of sugarplums, most people did dream;
Not T Spags, in his mind he did scream;
He dreamt of the past year, the good and the bad,
The headlines conflicted, both happy and sad;
We won one and lost one, with our major sports teams,
The Lions won the Cup, the Canucks broke some dreams;
Lions fans celebrated, the parties were private,
Canuck fans cried, as streets turned into a riot;
The problems in Europe, what a financial mess,
Troubles abound, the future hard to assess;
What of local real estate; did we finally meet our fate,
Alas, not yet, prices did not deflate;
Why this did occur, was it the offshore buyer,
Our education and stability, a worldwide desire;
The market was strong, but not in all parts,
To be outside Vancouver broke many a realtor’s hearts;
Our firm grew again, as we joined with Landmark Law,
Our West Broadway office became quite the draw;
What about down south, to get out of the snow,
According to Jurock, ’tis about cash flow;
At this point in the dream, T Spags began to quiver,
As he thought social media, things like Twitter;
To send out a tweet, or call it a twit,
To be perfectly honest, he did not give a s**t;
No fan of LinkedIn, don’t mention Facebook,
Everyone has many a friend, even a crook;
People missing the point, online friends do not matter,
It is face to face, that produces real chatter;
So as we celebrate, the Holiday Season,
Let us recall, the purpose and the reason;
Be thankful, for what you possess,
Please remember, not all are so blessed;
There are those less fortunate, who need a bit of luck,
Keep them in mind, and send them a buck;
May your goals be achieved, your dreams come true,
That your days be merry, your troubles quite few;
Remember what is important, and what is not so dear,
Be blessed with the holiday spirit, for the entire year;
So to all our partners, realtors, brokers and lenders,
And to all our clients, purchasers and vendors;
Thank you for all your support, we owe all our success to you,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ALL OF US AT
SPAGNUOLO & COMPANY REAL ESTATE LAWYERS
Cheers!
