Now that the holiday season is imminent, what’s there to do for fun in the Bay Area to celebrate a little Christmas cheer? I’m glad you asked.

To kick things off, we have Santa’s Mailbox opening on Monday, November 28th at the Danville Community Center. Between the 28th and December 9th, if you stop by and drop off any letters your kiddos wrote to Santa, you will receive a letter in return by December 24th. Just be sure to include your name and mailing address!

If you’re in the mood for something a little more international, St. Mary’s Cathedral is hosting the Swedish Christmas Fair on December 3rd. There, you’ll be able to enjoy some Swedish folk music and costume dancing, shop for Swedish crafts, drink mulled wine, eat Swedish food, and meet Santa himself.

If you’ve never seen a giant gingerbread house, you’ll have your chance in the lobby of the Fairmont San Francisco Hotel all throughout the month of December. This two-story monstrosity is made of thousands of home-baked gingerbread bricks and more than a ton of icing and candy. It’s free, but you may have to wait in line because, honestly, who doesn’t want to see a giant gingerbread house? While you wait, you can enjoy some holiday gingerbread tea.

For some adult holiday fun, the theater circuit is also offering some top-quality live entertainment. At the Orpheum Theater, The Lion King opened on November 2nd and will be shown until December 31st. A.C.T.’s Geary Theater will also show A Christmas Carol from November 25th to December 24th. Last but not least, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas will be shown at the Golden Gate Theatre from December 14th to December 24th.

If none of the above appeals to you and you’re in the mood to just shed some of those heavy clothes and go for a festive half-naked run through the Castro District, the Santa Skivvies Run is happening on December 11, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. After that, there will be a block party on Noe Street to support the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. You can register as an individual or as a team. There will be a bonus for wearing red.

If you want more information about what’s going on in the Bay Area, whether it’s for real estate or anything else, don’t hesitate to get ahold of me. I’d be happy to help!

testimonials from happy clients

Larry - "I had such a nightmare situation when I met Greg, I was in a divorce and upside down on a short sale so he not only had to get signatures from me, but from my ex-wife as well. It was twice the work but he was as sharp as a tack and did everything he said he was going to do. We had a plethora of problems that don’t occur in a normal transaction but he just dealt with every aspect of it. I’m definitely going to use him in the future, I’d never go anywhere else."

Chris - "Everyone that helped me through the process was very professional and I was very happy with the results. They made sure that all the paperwork on the other side was sorted out and taken care of so there wasn’t a delay because the their real estate agent wasn’t necessarily was well versed in the process as the McDaniel Callahan Team. "

Todd - "When we started our search, we were a little particular about the house that was were looking for. We probably worked with them for a little over 6 months and then came across a house that we really wanted to look at. We called and one of the agents, Chris, was able to not only show us the home, but we were able to put an offer in that was accepted. Then we were able to move into our dream home!"

Phil - "We worked with Chris Callahan and was very happy with his work. He was very responsive and did a great job of finding properties. He was exceptional at listening to what we were looking for and finding us those types of properties to look at. We hadn’t had that experience from previous agents we’ve work with so we were very appreciative of that. We enjoyed working with him and we’ll do it again. "

Jim - "The results that we got when we worked with the McDaniel Callahan Group was absolutely wonderful, it couldn’t have been better! They were pleasant people to work with, everything was on time, and it sold pretty much right away. Everything worked like clockwork from securing the buyer, the negotiations, and the way they treated me. I have to tell you, over my time I’ve bought and sold around 10 to 12 houses and the McDaniel Callahan Group outshone other Realtors I had worked with in the past by a lot."

Roger -"I got the property that I wanted. They were at disposal to answer questions, help me investigate various properties, and they endured my timing. I dealt primarily with Chris Callahan. He was always available whenever I needed him. He was very responsive!"

What Our Happy Bay Area Clients Have to Say

"We had a wonderful experience using The McDaniel Callahan team as our realtor. Greg was patient with us and worked around our schedules as we were in search of our new home. They also helped us sell our current home extremely fast. It was pending 2 days after the open house! They were extremely knowledgeable about the market as well as the areas we were interested in. We couldn’t be happier with the home that we found! Thank you to the McDaniel Callahan team!"

We had been trying to buy a home in the highly competitive Danville real estate market for quite some time. When we finally found the home for us, it was The McDaniel Callahan TEAM who got us through an extremely complicated and challenging short sale process. We ended up with a great house on the Westside of Danville and could not be happier. We are very thankful for Greg and his team’s professionalism, knowledge, and perseverance as we truly would not have the wonderful house we have today without it. Additionally, this team continues to help us after the sale by providing us with valuable references to great contractors as we prepare the home for moving day
