Christmas Comes Early To Sudoku!

*** KICKSTARTER LAUNCHED - FOG OF WAR ***
Check out our new Kickstarter - launched today - which we're running to create a brand new sudoku phenomenon. A story by professional writer Peter C Hayward linked with (at least!) 10 brand new Fog-Of-War puzzles by Sandra & Nala; and this all made beautiful by the artwork of Haleigh Mooney. Please help us to make this happen and create the ultimate nerd Xmas present!!

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Christmas comes early to sudoku today in the form of Sandra & Nala's latest puzzle: Nori Nori Christmas - which also harks back to a video from a couple of years ago in which Simon seemed to have gone mad!!

This is another phenomenal fog sudoku and it's impossible not to smile at some of the logic.

Play the puzzle at the following link:

Rules:
Christmas time is coming soon and it's probably not too early to do some baking! Nala is eager to help out with anything, but she may not be the best fit when it comes to cutting out the cookies and placing them on the tray so they don't touch each other when they go into the oven. She might need some help with that. Would you mind?

Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 in every row, column and box exactly once each. Digits in a dashed cage must sum to the value in the top left corner of the cage (if given). Digits may not repeat within their own cage. Nori Nori Christmas: Shade exactly two cells in each cage. Each shaded area forms a domino (cookie), not necessarily within a cage. Shaded dominoes may touch diagonally, but not orthogonally. A shaded domino functions as a black Kropki dot, i.e. digits in a shaded domino are in a ratio of 2:1. It is possible for unshaded dominoes to be in a 2:1 ratio. Digits separated by a white sugar decoration dot are consecutive. Not all possible dots are given. Additionally the grid is partially covered in fog. Placing correct digits will clear the fog from surrounding cells, possibly revealing more clues.
