Every Christmas reveals our group's individual secret Santa and this year is of no exception. Even the little kids get presents from the thoughtful adults. This year, we agreed to use toothpicks to draw lots to see who will be the person in charge to organise 2010 Christmas Lunch and voila! It's the person who suggested using the toothpick method, our dear JASON! Mwahahahaha!
