Decide the papers should be folded up to ensure not even any subconscious cheating goes on. 

Take pieces of paper out of hat. 

Fold them all.

Put them back in.

The actual draw is going to be made by Tidgy, of course, but she had a long nap after our tennis and has just woken up. 

She has to have supper first. 

(the lettuce is just a snack.)

She finally decided to have dinner.

First, a few sips of water.

Then, wifey spoils her by feeding her peeled prickly pear fruit:

Next, a wee wee, which I won't show you, and finally, she asks to get off the table to go to bed.

But Santa has other plans for you, little minx...............

She's gone to bed after making the first half of the draw.

It's a bit of a logistical nightmare when you consider USA only, European only or International and trying to make sure people don't get someone in the same or a neighbouring country or state AND not being someone they've sent to before. 865510144_Pullinghairout.gif.8a3dfcaa88f764c178ce1e7cb6ca5467.gif

But it's fun.:santasmile:

 

Oh, I forgot to post the first name that came out of the Fez of Fun!

Tis @David in JapanYay.gif.70966164ea41654f3d8de2d0daf14c67.gif

Of course David is posting internationally, so the second name out of the Fez of Fun could be anybody!

Count me in if it is not too late :-) No worries as it may be too late now that I look more. Apologies on that...

Good afternoon, Sensational Santas! 1097975222_Xmasmilk.gif.7546aaf3d41b20d197bf3ed5c72a8474.gif

I am still sorting out the draw after playing a round of golf with Tidgy this morning. 

More news to follow. 

 

Meanwhile, one of our own, the Super Secret Santa @sixgill pete has launched this year's Christmas Auction to Support the Forum. 

Some amazing fossils to be had there, just don't spend all your postage money on it! 

 

Check out Don's thread s and all the auction lots here :

Auctions to Support the Forum - The Fossil Forum

More lots will be added over the coming days, so keep your eye out for them. 

Fabulous!

Thanks for the plug there Adam! However one question. How many strokes did Tidgy beat you by this time?

Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt
behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Oh, I forgot to say, the second name out of the Fez of Fun, the person to whom Santa David is posting is.................................

................................................................... can't say, of course, or it wouldn't be terribly Secret. 1880729180_XmasPresent.gif.d4eeb9d10339e124356119521958c9d5.gif

It's obvious who they are. The recipient of some fantastic fossils!  :DOH:

Thanks for hosting this Tidgy's Dad. Lots of effort on your part!

Tis true.

But also a lot of fun and well worth the results. 2082729382_XmasTree.gif.239355b79d20161a7c386679dfd0c9a2.gif

Sixty-Five Santas! 

And this one's from a state of the USA that was not represented! 

So that's 25 states now, half of 'em! :santasmile:
