Returning to work after Christmas is not exactly the most longed for thing in the world, a week, or even just a few days, of relaxation, enjoyment and maybe a little too much alcohol fades away as you crawl out of bed. Some of the people you work with you haven’t seen since the office party, and wasn’t that a lot of fun? There are the people who watched in disapproval and stood to the sides, never getting into the spirit and then, on the other hand, there are the people who got too far into the spirit… or, as might be more appropriate, spirits. Office Christmas parties are traditionally more of a rite of passage than a fun night. Cheap decorations and enough alcohol to help you endure even your least liked co-worker. Every year you ask yourself why you go but you go anyway, in spite of it all, hoping that maybe this year, it might be different. And, maybe this year, It could be. Office Christmas parties have a bad reputation, but they really do not have to be that way. It does not have to be the same as last year… you might be able to make it through the night and actually have fun. Hiring someone to organise your office party for you might just help raise it...more

Phoenix foreclosures have seen a descending drop since 2007. It is been nearly three years but there has been no optimistic sign in the real estate market. Contemplating at the figures from last year, November 2009 depicted a plunge in the prices of Phoenix foreclosures. There were nearly 10,000 houses that went under foreclosure. Around 4500 in November and 3000 in December 2009. That is just about a drop of 2 percent approximately. This figure is stumpy compared to October 2009 but is far above the ground compared to 2008 prices. The difference between the year 2008 and 2009 prices is about 8 percent approximately. The average price range that continued to dominate the market in November and December 2009 was about $140,000 to $170,000. Weighing against the prices in September and October 2009, the prices were up by 3.5 percent. This can be considered as good indication. An additional pessimistic point in the Phoenix foreclosures 2009 was that many of the foreclosed properties that were sold were re-sales of the already listed property. The re-sales properties amounted to at least 50 percent of the total sales of Phoenix foreclosures. Although the numbers are down...more
