The random five winners of the Weekly Thing Christmas Blog gift have been selected!

A little Python to do the selection…

import random

# Define list of names
values = [
  "name", 
  "name", 
  "name", 
  …
]

# Shuffle the list
random.shuffle(values)
print("Randomly selected values:", values[:5])

And the winners are!
