Every year Century 21 Liberty Homes has their annual Christmas party at Honolulu Country Club.
Even though it hasn't been the most wonderful year for sales Century 21 Liberty Homes survived and we proved last night....we still have the spirit of aloha to carry on into 2009!
This year the agenda was a little different and for that I am grateful. We had loads of fun and a wonderful buffet and just looking around the room you could see that the agents and their family & friends were just grateful to share this event with.
Through the last couple of days we've weathered the worst of the Hawaii Storm and I thought about it this morning.
We had left the house, picked up my son and got to Honolulu Country Club with no problem. There was thunder and lightning on the way but no rain but while we were in the party it rained hard. By time we got out it had subsided!
After dinner we had singing contests and sang a group Hawaiian Twelve Days of Christmas. I am proud to announce that my fellow agent/ friend Randy Prothero held First Position for our office of Top Sales for 2008...................
and I held Second Position for Sales for 2008 for our office.
We then sat in a huge circle and played pass the present. By time it was over...the presents were a wreck from being passed around to the left, then right, then left......but we had fun!
Randy Prothero has been an ActiveRain member since November of 2006 and with much coercing he got me to join in March of 2007.
From the both of us....we wish you all a very Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) and Houoli Makahiki Hou (Happy New Year) and most of all a very Prosperous 2009!
Now...enjoy our Twelve Days of Christmas.....Hawaiian Style!
And the picture show.....enjoy!

Sally- I remember your post you did last Christmas as if it were yesterday. My how time flies! I am so glad that you had sales this year because you are the sweetest friend in Hawaii I have and you go the extra mile for others. You deserve to be blessed always. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! Congrats on having a good year- despite the economy!
Sally, sounds like you all had a most jolly Christmas party!
Thanks Katerina! It was so nice to see the spirit of our office, family and friends. It made the difference throughout the year to be working alongside them as well!
Sandy: We struggled but perservered!
Patricia: It sure was!
Hi Sally! Congratulations to both you and Randy! So glad to hear that you had a wonderful year and here's to an even better 2009!
Debe: What's better was the spirit we had in that room. Awesome!
Congratulations Sally. May your prosperity and success continue through 2009! Mele Kalikimaka!
Your office sounds like a fun one to hang out with. Hope your Holidays are lovely.
Hi Sally,
Sounds like you two are the real stars of your office! BTW I found your comment about storms interesting. While on the Big Island about 7-8 years ago it came down in buckes. A huge 100 year old treel fell (next door) on Java Joe's fortunately no one was injured.
I am very proud of both you and Randy for the sales...now that singing is another story LOL...it sure looked and sounded like a lot of fun. I too remember last years Christmas Party Post. It sure doesn't seem like a year has gone by....but I guess it has. I hope you have a great Christmas and Happy New Year my friend.
Looks like you had alot of fun there. We may need the text of what the days were. I only got a few of them. The audio was a bit hard to pickup. Congrats on a great year in paradise.
Morning Sally,
Happy Holidays. I always enjoy these parties and it appears you do as well.
Looks like you had a good time....Happy Holidays
Marry Christmas, Sally. Hope your 2009 is better than ever (and better than Randy!)....

Leolinda: You too!
Thanks Maggie! Wonderful time!
Thanks Lynda! Oh, when storms like this blow over hundreds of year old trees that can be nasty.
Kathy: I attribute AR and my online presence for my sales. If it weren't for the leads and closed transactions I would not have stayed afloat.
Randy: Put the link above...pretty funny.
Hal: I only go to one party once a year..this is it. :)
Thanks Neal!
Gary: Oh, no...Randy will always be ahead of me :) I have my C21 job too...and I also make a few bucks taking care of his paperwork too :)
I am happy for both you and Randy-- two great bloggers and kind hearted people ! Glad the rains stopped long enough for you to gather!
Carole: Still raining last night... and thanks a lot!
Michele: We both appreciate that. It was a hard year...and I was so relieved I didn't have to run in with wet hair :)
