The complex equipment gathered together for the TORTOISE Draw.
This is exciting!!
The names cut out and the first one folded.
Scissors put away, tidily so wifey can't hurt herself.

And now, to keep the tension high, I must go out for a play with Tidgy. 
More TORTOISE in an hour or so.

Don't worry, I will not be showing each name after folding.
And our entirely neutral and impartial guest of honour, the redoubtable Zacariah prepares to draw the first name out of the hat.
And the first name out of the hat and unfolded is...............................
John!
I thought secret Santa was supposed to be secret. Each person was the only person who knew which name they were given?????
Obviously, I cannot reveal the names of the rest of the Roommates as they come out of the hat.
But here is neutral and slightly ill with stomach ache as well as slightly aggrieved I'm ordering her and her camera about, wifey.
Making the second draw.

This is the Cold Dark Room's not so secret Santa or TORTOISE (Totally Obvious Really, The Origin Is So Easy)
We will all know when the parcel arrives who sent the parcel due to country or state of origin.
However, posting that John was first out of the Fez does not reveal who he has to send a package to or who he will be receiving his gift from.
At least until it arrives no one will know anything except who they have to post to.
Except me, of course, which is unavoidable.
The other Roommates won't know who is sending them a gift.
And before the third draw is made I must go out to buy wifey a potato.
Maybe that'll cheer her up.
Gotta go now before it gets dark and cold.
Later, people!

I wish a potato would make my wife happy.
I'll tell you if it worked in a bit.
OK, I just have to ask. The mysterious potato. Does it look more like this:
Or like this:
