The Elf on a Shelf - a Great Family Tradition!!!

Lately, I have been seeing a wide variety of photos with a strange little elf playing tricks and games with my friends children - I can't help but wonder, what's all the fuss??

 Well, let me tell you - there is a great reason for fuss over this skinny little bendable elf!!  This tradition is perfect for revitalizing the magic of Christmas!!  Here is the summary of the Elf on the Shelf Tradition.

We all know that Santa has a very BIG job of keeping track of all the little boys and girls - who has been naughty and who has been nice and the best way to do this is to enlist a troop of elves!  These elves become the eyes and ears for Santa for each home that adopts them.   Upon receiving their name, they will also receive their magical powers - and these magical powers allow them to notice every good deed and to return each evening to relay these messages to Santa. 

Now here is where the fun begins... Once your Elf reports to Santa (and plays a few reindeer games with Rudolph) he returns the next morning to his home before his family awakes and...let the FUN begin!  These elves love playing little tricks and games with their families.  You might find yours hiding in the Christmas tree, hanging from a chandelier or any other great hiding spot - some have even been caught sipping on bottles of syrup or zip lining across the kitchen!  These elves are loaded with energy and know how to create Christmas Magic!!! 

The Elves remain in the home until Christmas Eve when your little Elf on the Shelf  returns back to the North Pole until his duties resume again the next year.  We love this tradition and would love to hear your traditions too!!   Please visit our Facebook Page and share your Elf on the Shelf photos or tell us your Holiday tradition!!

 The entire Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate Team wishes you a Happy Holiday and a Prosperous New Year!!  We look forward to a great 2013!!

5 Home Buying Mistakes To Avoid

Image
Buying a home is a very exciting event, but it unfortunately comes with its fair share of pitfalls. Inexperienced home buyers may fall victim to common mistakes that can create added stress and frustration down the road. If you're getting ready to buy your first home at the Lake of the Ozarks , the team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate can help you avoid these pitfalls. Mistake #1: Not Getting Preapproved It's very common for first time home buyers to want to jump straight into touring different homes, before talking to a mortgage lender. When they do this, though, home buyers can get their hearts set on a certain property before they know for sure if they will be able to afford it. Do yourself (and your agent) a favor by getting preapproved for a home loan first so you will only visit homes you know you will be able to realistically consider buying. Mistake #2: Spending Beyond Your Means There can be a big difference between the size of loan you can qualify for and
