Scrooge and Marley? Not Fannie and Freddie

No Scrooge Mae or Marley Mac here.

Fannie and Freddie have halted foreclosures and evictions for the holiday season.

God bless 'em.

(Fear not; goodwill never overstays its welcome. Foreclosures and evictions shall begin anew as the year turns. Unless, of course, you're a financial institution or, apparently, the self-deluded head of an automaker. Then you get some leeway).
