Santa, if you’re reading this, we’ve all been good girls and boys at The Gate this year so here’s a little list of what we’re hoping to get from you this Christmas. Fingers crossed our dreams will come true on December 25th…

I’d like ‘Wild Mountainside’ by the Trash Can Sinatras to be made the Scottish National Anthem.

Love

I’m selfishly hoping for a book called “Dive in Style”.  It combines two of my interests – diving and good travel accommodation.  Although I won’t make it to most of the destinations, I know I will love reading it and looking at the amazing photography.  I’ve been very good this year, Santa –please be good back to me.

Helen Hourston (managing director)

Can I have a dress for the Christmas party that a) suits me and b) fits me?
Thanks
Sam Robertson (production manager)
PS. Is all fashion for 21 year olds at the moment?

I’d like two tickets to the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa please.

I’d like to see an end to no win no fee lawyers.

I’ve been a really good girl this year so I would like:
A roaring fire
Proper snow
Anna Friel’s stage door wardrobe!
Pretty please?
Thanks in advance

I’d like a new putting stroke

Slip a mouse under the tree for me.
I’ve been an awful good girl,
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa Baby, an 11” wireless keyboard, too, brand new
I’ll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight…

I’d really like a 365 day holiday allocation and an around the world ticket for two.
Thanks!
Nicola Potter (client services)

I’d like a winning lottery ticket (Euromillions please as you always win more money), a Porsche 911 and a holiday home in the sun with a pool.
If I can’t get all that, I’d like to wake up looking 10 years younger on Christmas day.

That or a new coat. Or pjs and slippers.

Cheers
Lesley Scott (accounts)

I’d like 2 around the world tickets (for my honeymoon) and an unlimited Habitat voucher (for my house).

Pipe, slippers and some chestnuts roasting gently on an open fire.
Maybe David Bowie could pop round in the afternoon for a little duet.

I’d like an end to war and peace to all men (and women too)
Betty Cantley (office manager)

I’d like 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep, please.

I’d like a big boat like the ones I can see out of the office window. HMS Destroyer will do.

I’d like you to make it snow on Christmas day and then magic it away on Boxing Day. One day of snow a year is enough for me.

I’d really like a kinkajou – it’s a cute marsupial that needs lots of love.
