Dear Uncle Saint Nick,

It’s OK if I call you Uncle Nick isn’t it? When I was a kid my godfather was ‘rich Uncle Bob’ and I always expected him to deliver the goods. Uncle Bob has long since passed so now I think of you as the man who can ‘deliver’.

Well, I know you are going to be extra busy this year helping people, so I will keep my list short. I like to think that what I am asking for are like ‘Stimulus’ gifts – they’ll bring cheer to a whole lot of good people:
 

Please give all of my customers a new agency management system with imaging capabilities that will allow them to efficiently receive and deliver policies electronically to their insureds. Think of all the trees we’ll save!

Thanks for sending us that new trucking market last year. Since that has worked out so well, I thought why not ask for one more? If you can, would you make it a super competitive long-haul market?

You know those big blow-up bouncey things? Do you have any of those up there at the North Pole? Well if you do, then you know how hard it can be to get insurance on them. Please send Tuscano a special program for inflatables so we can help bring FUN to the masses!

Thanks for bringing my friends home safely from Iraq & Afghanistan, but there are still so many over there. Please keep all of our loved ones safe (I know that is all of them) and let them know how much we appreciate the job they do and that we are thinking of them. While you are at it, please leave them some Girl Scout Cookies (thin mints are my favorites)!

Please bring a couple of wins for the Steelers before the season ends - something that would allow us to forget this year and look forward to next year.

While you are at it, could you sprinkle some magic ‘winning dust’ on the Pittsburgh Pirates and some ‘sticky dust’ on the Pirate owners so they will stop trading all of our good players?
 

Believing is seeing,



P.S. I have been meaning to ask you if you ever have trouble getting insurance on your North Pole operations. I figure that your place has to be at least a protection class 10 and the product liability for a bunch of children’s toys has to be hard to obtain. If you need help getting coverage just let me know. I would be happy to recommend one of my ‘good agents’ and maybe throw in a ‘good guy’ discount.
