Dan's Papers Holiday Wish List

All the Dan's Papers staff wants for Christmas/Hanukkah is...

Dan Rattiner, Publisher & Editor in Chief, wants a beanstalk that goes up to the sky.

Joan Gray, Assistant to the Publisher, is asking not just for one pair of Stubbs & Wootton cut velvet loafers, but three.

Kathy Rae, Associate Publisher, is asking Santa for diamond earrings. If he doesn't bring them, she will buy them for herself. She also wants her two front teeth sans braces.

Ellen Dioguardi, Assistant to the Associate Publisher, said that besides world peace, she wants a villa on the beach in Anguilla. Keep dreamin'.

Victoria Cooper, Coordinating Editor, has a one-way ticket to Dubai at the top of her Christmas list. World peace is second.

Lauren Isenberg, Assistant Editor, is asking Santa for a Lhapa Apso because they're fluffy.

Janine Cheviot, Features Editor, wants a trip to the North Shore of Hawaii, and for Apple's stock to hit 200.

David Rattiner, Associate Editor, is asking for an Xbox 360 for Christmas...or maybe Hanukkah. We're not sure.

Maria Tenneriello, Shopping Editor, is asking Santa for a 32-inch Sharp flat screen TV and BOSE iPod speakers, both in white because they don't come in purple.

Tom Swinimer, Distribution Manager, wants an oil well. "It's the gift that keeps on giving," he explained.

Kelly Merritt, Art Director, has been good all year in hope that Santa will bring her a shiny, new Chevrolet HHR.

Genevieve Salamone, Production Assistant, wants a relaxing day at the spa to rejuvenate for 2008.

Nicole Caruso, Production Director, is asking for a JetBlue gift card so she can visit friends in Florida.

Derek Wells, Traffic Manager, really wants season tickets for the Yankees, the best team ever.

Joel Rodney, Graphic Designer, is asking for a 47-inch plasma TV, but he will probably just end up waiting on line at Best Buy at 3 a.m. to buy it for himself.

Catherine Ellams, Advertising Sales Executive, wants an infinity pool in her backyard so she can swim laps next summer.

Annemarie Davin, Advertising Sales Executive, is asking for just one thing - a motorboat so she can test the waters in the Peconic Bay.

Jean Lynch, Advertising Sales Executive, wants a trip to Costa Rica so she can show off her belly-button ring.

Jim Smith, Advertising Sales Executive, has a few requests for Hanukkah - a singlet and a fur coat to bring back memories of Westhampton Beach Class of 1922. He also wants a stress-free 2008.

Tom W. Ratcliffe III, Advertising Sales Executive, wants a new president. How patriotic.

Maritza Smith, Advertising Sales Executive, is asking Santa for a date with Barack Obama. Her second choice is Ari Gold. Her third choice is anyone who makes six figures.

ToniAnn Esposito, Bookkeeper, wants a laptop so she can work at home.

Jim Best, Accounts Receivable, needs to get away, so he's asking for a trip to the Bahamas.

Matt Cross, Web Specialist, is asking Santa for a Patagonia R3 fleece and fog lights for his new truck.

Pete Martin, the handyman, wants a new Wilson baseball glove. His previous glove lasted for 38 years before it fell apart.

Bob Ankerson, Proofreader, is asking for advice on where to put all the commas he removes from Dan's Papers...NO, wait - forget that!
