It snowed quite a bit around Christmas.  

They are always low on funds, yet this December they announced that because they had a budget surplus they would give every full-time city worker a $1,000 Christmas bonus.

I am not familiar with your area, but, in general December is always very slow, especially from December 15th until the first week of January.Many are visiting family, traveling and celebrating the 2 largest holidays of the year, Christmas and New Years.

The bank finally approved the price but requires 30 days to close the deal before going to foreclosure, which will be before the Christmas.

The investors did little to no maintenance, didn't visit the property, but sent a fruit basket to the tenants every Christmas, which amused the tenants.

I was talking to my step father yesterday during Christmas dinner and talking about how much construction and development is happening and how this has dropped unemployment rate 3% in 2 years.  

You could make the models and keep a trophy of your portfolio or offer them as gifts to homebuyers.  

I used to drive a 2002 Explorer with 235,000 miles on it until my husband wrapped it around a light pole during icy conditions a week before Christmas. 

Example, I was out of town from Christmas to New Years and I only got two calls from tenants and both were very apologetic to bothering me during the holidays.

Ski season and the heart of summer saw a slight uptick, but the peak season was always Thanksgiving Week and the week between Christmas and New Years.
