Nope. I'll pick the names out of a "hat" (basket/bucket) and send out the matches tonight after the show.

Why not a box?  Or a bag?  Or an orange crate?

A (wo)man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good she is at it. Erika's art is Secret Santaing. She's about to paint her masterpiece.

I'm not trying to be anti-semitic, but if it's not too late I suggest this as your modern equivalent to the basket thing: http://www.random.org/lists/

It's truly 100% random!

Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

Ok I used the basket and I'd say that was pretty fucking random. I emailed everyone their matches. Let me know if you didn't get yours or if you have questions and happy shopping!

I definitely won't make you explain math that I wouldn't understand, but maybe someone can still explain this to me: Do we let our secret santee know who we are when we send our presents? I know we keep it secret at least until then, but I don't know if I need to hide my identity on sending. Forgive this stupid, insolent question.

When I did this last year, I revealed my identity when I sent my package. It makes sense to me that you want the person to know who sent them the gift - otherwise they won't know who to thank and will post on this thread saying "Thanks to whoever sent me this nice stuff."
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Whoever gets my gift (I'm looking at you, [redacted]!) will know it's from me. The human-sized box with air holes, with a big "UTLANDSPAKET" stamp on it, will be a dead giveaway.

How do we learn our Santee's shirt size? Let the stalking begin.

what if erika just sent her name to everyone.  that would be a funny joke.
