Dear Santa,

They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Is that why you are so jolly? I know one of my greatest pleasures is playing Santa and giving people the things they not only want, but could really use. That is why I always write to you Santa (I’ll bet my competitors don’t).

By the way, the Package team really loves the new Hospitality market you brought us last year and I know they are taking good care of it. We’ve been going gangbusters with dwelling business. I am pretty sure if I asked the Personal Lines Department “Who is busier, you or Santa’s elves?” they would swear they are. And I sure do appreciate the Pirates winning season (AND a playoff spot – Santa you ROCK!!) I am taking Congress off my list, but I am still holding out for a Stanley Cup run for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2014. This year there are a whole new crop of people I’d love to be Secret Santa for; but, since you are the real deal I will gladly be Santa’s helper.

Having a new admitted Garage market has been a real gift, but it could be the gift that keeps on giving if we could just expand the market into all of our territories – just sayin’.

A few of the Tuscano staff are planning to run the Pittsburgh half-marathon this year, so I was thinking maybe I would train for it too. Do you have an oxygen delivery system that is lightweight enough to carry on my back?

A lot of my customers sure would like it if we could write theWorkers' Comp on their truckers. We would like it too.

Do you think that the Shoemaker could loan us a few of his elves so we could work around the clock? Then we could be the fastest broker out there on our turnaround and service. Either that, or could you send us some energy drinks to stock up on in the kitchen?

My friends at Highland Premium Finance are all about holiday cheer and they would love to help our customers out by financing their insurance policies. Could you spread the word when you are out and about on Christmas Eve?

Our ‘new’ Commercial Casualty Manager, Tim, and his wife Debbie, just moved to PA from Florida, so I’d really like them to experience a classic PA Winter. I’d say about 12 to 18 inches of fluffy white stuff around the holidays would do just fine!

Thanks Santa - You are the real deal!
