A SMALL HOLIDAY GIFT FROM FANNIE AND FREDDIE

Just in time to perhaps give distressed homeowners a chance to enjoy the holiday season, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have announced that they will not evict any affected foreclosure-victim families from their home (single family and 2-4 unit properties) from December 19 through January 2, 2012. It's not much, but at least the holidays can be spent in familiar home surroundings.
