The $20 Christmas Tree and a Compliment

Dad and I went out to get our Christmas Tree this weekend, expecting to spend around $30-$50. The place we were recommended to try did not open until 10am, and we were out at 8:30am. We decided not to wait for that place and drove down the road to another place we had passed that looked somewhat run-down but had a cute little log cabin on it.

When we got there, the old man that came out said we could take any tree and it’s only $20. So we saved around $30, and supported a nice old man, while still finding an awesome tree early in the morning.

I also got an email from my bank lender at Chase because they still haven’t registered my home owners insurance with my loan. I had asked him to look into the matter and he personally wrote-up a letter to send to the Insurance Processing Center for Chase which read:

“..Please understand that this is an inconvenience to our good standing customers and can be a stressful situation. Ms. XXXXXX is extremely thorough and has sent this information once before via the website but unfortunately received a second letter.”

Always nice to hear.
