Will there be some sort of reference to the SDMB Secret Santa in the message line or ummm the usual _" RC/boobies/Penis Enlargement/ParisHiltonVideo/WOW"_ to completely throw me off the trail. ? Curious. ---

Twister with **alice\_in\_wonderland**? I am so there dude. Perhaps one of us should take over the hosting. I’ll do it if we think it is a good idea. Send me an email with the heading “SDMB Zebra Print Santa” Include Your user name your real name the address you want your item shipped to a hint for your Zebra print Santa. I will turn this around by this weekend UNLESS **Green Bean** comes back and does it. my address is [zebrazebra123@hotmail.com](mailto:zebrazebra123@hotmail.com) ---

Well, as if my week wasn’t hectic enough… I just found out that my husband is going in for emergency back surgery tomorrow morning. I’m only partway through distributing the list. My ever-heroic brother **Billdo** has volunteered to distribute the rest of it. (85 participants this year!) I just emailed it to him, so I expect he’ll get to it this evening. I hope. Gah. ---

**Greenbean** , I will keep your hubby in my prayers. This must be very worrying for both of you. Keep us informed on how he does. I am glad your bro is able to fill in, but don’t worry about it, in my opinion they go out when they go out, it is after all only Dec 4, we have quite a few shopping days to go. deb ---

OK, gang, all of the Secret Santa matches are out now. With the delay, I was able to match up everyone who e-mailed in, including those a bit late with the signups. If you don’t have your matches, or there is a problem, please post here or e-mail [greenbeansd@hotmail.com](mailto:greenbeansd@hotmail.com) Happy Holidays. ---
