Christmas Traditions Around the World

Registered Sex Offenders:

The registry of sex offenders is one of the hottest topics on the news today. There are successful business people, sports stars and others who are on the list and many people with small children want to know if they are buying a home with an offender right next door. The best thing you can do to ease your mind is to contact the local authorities and ask if there is a list. Most maintain such a list and in many areas, the list is updated constantly and available online!

As Realtors, we are prohibited from directing you either towards or away from a given neighborhood, and we are not allowed to do this checking for you. But we can point you to the places that offer assistance. Be sure to call or email if I can help you in any way. Click here for the KSP Sex Offer Registry.

Hi  Everyone,

I Have a Halloween FUN FACT for you!  

But First,

Q: Why didn’t the skeleton cross the road?

A: He didn’t have the guts!

Origin of the pumpkin Jack O'Lantern 

According to Wikipedia

The tradition of the Jack O Lantern started with a Turnip.  Yes, a Turnip.

In Celtic Ireland people created menacing faces on turnips and left them on their doorstep to “keep away unwanted guests” during a festival known as Samhain.  Adding a candle gave extra protection.

In modern times pumpkins are used instead of turnips.

Oh, and the name Jack O'Lantern came from a young blacksmith named...you guessed it...Jack O'Lantern.  That's another story in itself.  

There you have it.
