This past year Christmas was on a Friday and Rick said he started wondering about the year 2010 and what day of the week the holidays would fall on. Of course there are many special days throughout the year, but he was talking about the holidays that many of us get off work because of them.

As Oklahoma Realtors, we know of one day that is not a holiday, but is very important to remember because it's the last day as of now, for the First Time Buyer Tax incentive. After Friday, April 30th, 2010, it will be too late to enter into a contract on a residential home to qualify for the money that has helped so many first time buyers get into their home. Of course this is was said about November 30th, 2009.

Many feel that the Government has spent way too much money trying to make our economy stronger already. I will not speculate on what might happen. With the complications of the now in place incentive, it can already be confusing enough.

As Realtors, we are never guaranteed a day off, but the next paid day off for most of our friends is Memorial day even though Valentines Day is before then and is important, it isn't a paid day off holiday.. Valentines Day is on a Sunday this year.  When I was a florist I hated for Valentines Day to be on that day.  We wouldn't open on that day in the shops I worked in, but we would stay until the we hours to finish everything off and sales aren't as big because most men don't think of getting anything until the day of.

Memorial Day will be Monday, May the 31st. The 4th of July will be on Sunday in 2010. Then Labor Day will be on Monday September the 6th. Columbus Day will be observed Monday, October the 11th, and Thanksgiving will be on it's normal Thursday, November the 25th. Christmas and New Years will be on Saturday this year.

That's pretty much the schedule for 2010. Of course there are many other special days, and events to remember. There is Presidents Day, Save the Eagles Day, Ben Franklin's Birthday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day,Amelia Earhart Day, National Freedom Day, 100 years of Boy Scouting Day, and Doris Day. May Day, and Pay Days. Days you wished you didn't get up and sick days. Days you though would never end, and the good old days.

Rick and I have our special little magnetic calendars again this year and would love to send you one!  We have mail-in requests year after year with people wanting them.  They are small and easy to use.  If you would like one, please send me an email with where I can send it to you at.

Have a great Year.
