Still working on it.  No promises for tonight, but if I can get the list out tonight, it'll be at least a few hours from now.  Get comfy, grab some cocoa, and enjoy your families.  Check back later. 

Take it from the Queen of Christmas herself:

Last year I was on the bottom of the list so just waited until the dust cleared and settled and chose from what was left.  Was still fun.

When you are as lazy as me there is no way you are filling in a form until you know what spot you are picking.

Is there a link to the form?

+1 😂

Presumably still have a few days to get it in after the picking, so I might try to wait. I like a lot of prizes and don't want to rack my brain deciding when the order, Lord willing, will downsize it ha ha

Argh! I wish I would have had time to remember posting to this raffle earlier. Too late to join now. Have fun with it everyone, and have a very Merry Christmas and a collectible new year.

How is the order determined? 

I watched the video results from last year, assuming names pulled out of a hat and the first person picked picks a prize from all of the remaining items left?

That's the way it's been, then when there are more prizes than pickers we start over at the bottom, so towards the end of the list will get two prizes.

Yes

[wombat]

Just to be clear the names are all picked first so the order is known before we start.

Only because that one year we tried “first come, first served” was a DISASTER!

It's also worth noting the thread said the video would be posted today, but I suppose a newcomer is wondering why it hasn't....

It'll happen soon enough

The picking isn't expected to take place until Monday,  and then you can either have filled out a form of prizes you'd like up to your #number order of picking, or there will be a thread where you will have 5 minutes when your order number is up, to pick live.

That sounds like a horrific idea. 

[Kaikou]

Thanks everyone! Makes sense now.

I’m sorry, I assumed you knew I was kidding. I’m going to change my New Year’s resolution to “be funnier”.  It was going to be “solve world hunger”… but you’ve alerted me to a more important issue. 😉

[Motor City Rob]

Eagerly awaiting selection video...

I thought maybe that was an early days of the raffle type story.

Because I'm Canadian, is my raffle pick only worth 0.73 of a regular American pick?
