Pre-Lit Christmas Tree — We Have Arrived — Take A Moment — Take A Look

2011/11/14 – 8:49 am

I am guilty as charged I was getting into the Christmas season and spirit earlier then even the retailers. Now to give full disclosure I do not follow the religious aspects of Christmas, but what it stands for and it’s traditions one does not have to follow the religion to follow this wonderful season. Well I have to tell you it was knocked right out of me this morning as I was traveling to my favorite coffee hang.

As I was driving, it seems overnight, a store I pass every day was gleaming with Christmas trees all lit up and sparkling with snow scenes it was kind of nice because it fit in where my head was anyway. Then I saw this bright sign in the middle of the window PRE-LIT CHRISTMAS TREES. I continued driving for about 5 minutes before it really sunk in, and I asked myself what are they talking about, Pre Lit Christmas Trees?, this really seemed outrageous.

Why am I writing about Christmas Trees? What does this have to do with Real Estate? …  Economies of the Old World; Italy, Spain, Greece and France are in financial turmoil. Iran nuclear state!!! Israel going to bomb? The middle east Spring,,, Obama Care .. Our economy and unemployment giving way to riots in the streets? So why do I write about Christmas Trees…. I am not sure.

Maybe it has something to do with the ridiculous state of the Real Estate Market, the attitudes, cruelty and selfishness of people and all the terrible things happening in the world that I wanted to escape into the Christmas season before Thanksgiving. Then to look at PRE-LIT CHRISTMAS TREES I know a few people are ready to come back and shake the world back to time where we can think clearer and have values and traditions. Think of Bing Crosby, James Stewart , Nat King Cole , to name a few that would just love to be able to bring home that great tree and just plug it in. It just really blows me away because it says so much more than just buying a pre lit tree.. Stop and think of so many things that have changed that we have arrived at this.

So I might as well go back to realty, so don’t forget I am the owner of West Los Aneles Real Estate Group, I am a great California Licensed Broker and I know I have a Santa Monica House or Brentwood Condo that is perfect for you. Please call at 310.505.5571 or email bob_schmalz@wlaregroup.com so we can find the home of your dreams.

One  other thing (call out to Steve Jobs) Perhaps I will open a store with 8′ posters of Christmas Trees that have the smell of a Pine Tree and will shed needles a few days after Christmas.. What do you think?, a money maker right??
