| Thank you, elves, for getting this event running!! another wonderful success (from the looks of it!). Very fun to make the recommendation and to get one as well. Definitely signing up again next year! @mazuchi holy,, I really liked Mitsuboshi Colors which ya recommended; thank you so much! The OP is definitely a vibe, and the ED too :) Gonna try to not be lazy this time and watch your other recommendation, now that i'm more interested in watching something that's not a seasonal. |

| It was my first time participating but I really enjoyed doing the Secret Santa this year! I only joined in on the anime exchange, but hopefully at the end of this year I'll participate in the manga recs also. I plan on commenting on my Santa's profile later, but thank you @Joseph2 for giving me the recommendation! Thank you for all the hard work in organizing the event! |

Jhearn16 said: This was a great event for my first participation in it, with some great recs from @KainiusTheGreat. I'll make sure to watch all of them at some point and in fact I watched flip flappers in the days after reading your rec. It wasn't something I'd have chosen to watched myself yet I thoroughly enjoyed it. 8/10. Thanks for the recs and have a good 2022. You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed Flip Flappers! I got some good recs as well. I hope your 2022 is full of joy, good health, and success! |

Resulta un evento genial aunque llevo varios años en MAL es la primera vez que participo y conseguí una gran recomendación como regalo ademas del tiempo y la dedicación puesta al evento, así como agradecer a @Elf-tama y @stardusteee aunque ya paso "Feliz Año Nuevo" a todos. |

| @Ulfselrach thank you for recc'ing Wan Sheng Jie, it looks pretty cute! I'm saving it for this years AWC, I'm looking forward to watching it! @dreamerofpluto I haven't seen as many GL as you have, apologies for the less-than-good GL rec's ^^;; I hope you like Odd Taxi though! @Redth_SA thank you for the manga recs~△ you also get extra points for ending off with triangles lmao. I'll look forward to reading them! |

| Big thanks to all the elves, I wish I had already participated in this last year! It was a lot of fun to look up possible recommendations for your partner(s), as well as anticipating your own Secret Santa gifts and finding out who could have made them. Thanks to @Avajou and @MikeOnHighway61 for their manga and anime recommendations for me, again. And I hope @Franchowo and @NextUniverse didn't think my recommendations were utter garbage. :^) |

| Thank you holding the event, it was a lot of fun. I plan to participate next year again. @Ykoz Thank you for the recommendations! I only watched Aobuta so far which wasn't quite my taste, but the other two anime look really good, Odd Taxi in particular. I'm going to start New Game soon. @Boazanian Glad you liked it! |

| Thanks for the time and effort spent organising this event, I really appreciate it. This was my first year taking part and I'll definitely do the same next year. I am a little disappointed that there seems to be an elf replacement gift given to my recipient in the elf-chama category. I did think quite hard about what gift to give so I'd like to know what was wrong with my submission. EDIT: Thanks for the clarification! Elf side recommendation is a lot better than elf replacement, so I don't have a problem with it anymore. |

| A big thank you to all of the elves for their hard work! It must've not been easy to organize this event with so many entries, which I'm very grateful for. Also, I didn't participate last year, so this was my first time, and I couldn't be happier with my gifts! Once again, thank you to @Sstriden and @Everything-Fan for the amazing gifts :D |

| Just in time, I finished my recommendation yesterday! Thanks to @therealG0Ld for recommending Aku no Hana! It was an anime I heard of in passing before, but had never looked into before. After watching it I can say I really enjoyed it! (Now time to read the manga I guess) And thanks to the Elves for managing this great event! |

| Thanks elves and @miaxnder! I got 3 presents. One of these anime I could never have watched without Santa, and I enjoyed it. Thanks to the second present I remembered about the anime, that I had put off for a long time (it was among the main recommendations for the gift). And the third present was a bonus and it was precious: I have long doubted whether to watch the anime, was afraid to be disappointed in genre. But since it's a gift, I don't doubt it anymore) To choose anime as a gift was also very cool! Secret Santa is a great event!) |

| I hope everybody had fun in this event ✨ Especially thank you so much to both of my Santas, @JGambo5 and @Alexisonfire98! (sent you a personal message off course 🙂) I hope I didn't shock both of you too much with my response 👀 Also thank you to Dancho for keeping our sanity up while suffering yourself (I hope everything is good again o.o), but even more for your so overly cute messages you sent (that kind of is a goal we can strive for ✨🥰) As well as to Kina and tingy, raven, Gan, Hapt, Gravity, Nozo, Nana and every other Elf who did help so much to make this event as great as it really is 😍 I hope as well that every of my recipients likes their recommendations, even if you don't send me a message (which I would really love to receive 👀) There especially @Dragonator235 and @Bunnicula (I saw your message in your about thank you for being an outstanding example to everybody, to notify their Santa's 🥰) for being my OG recipients 😎 |

| Elves, thanks for your hard work! This is always my favorite MAL event and I look forward to participating again next year. @ColdBlackTeaFan Thanks for the recs! It was really cool that you found two anime I had never heard of before. Candy Boy was a heartwarming anime which, like you said, gave me AdaShima vibes. And I'm loving Manabi Straight so far, especially it's unique setting and it's animation and direction (I need to watch more ufotable anime). And thanks for this, btw: Have a good 2022! |

| It was very fun to participate in the Secret Santa 2021! I thank @th0ms for his recommendation of Sakamichi no Apollon, its soundtrack was nice to listen to and the characters were interesting. It was very enjoyable to watch. I look forward to the upcoming events on MAL! I wish you all a good new year! |

I've been a lil too busy lately, but I look forward to watching Eden's Zero and the other anime's you recommended. Happy New Year and hope you have a great year ahead! PS. I saw on your profile that you dropped Grand Blue, dude you gotta watch it! It's a goated show! |

| I hope everyone enjoyed this event. Getting some fun gifts is awesome, but it's the spirit that counts. I'd like to thank the Santas for participating in this event. The more the merrier. This is my first time participating in this event and also elfing, so I would also like to thank my fellow elves for their hard work and guidance. It sure has been quite the challenge last month. A special thanks to my anime Santa @SolWB and image Santa @Difarensharu for their wonderful gifts. I will make sure to leave some feedback sometime this week or next week. Happy New Year! |

| I always have fun with this events, and I’ll definitely participate next year; so, thanks to the elves for all their hard work. @Squidy0 thank you for your recommendation! I knew Hellsing Ultimate existed, but I never considered watching it; I’ve only watched the first episode, but I can tell you that it was exactly what I has looking for, so again thank you. |

| @7kaneki7 @zantids @cjdjdude @dishpat I hope y'all have at least one rec that you will enjoy as gift :) I took my time to gather two or three names that would be something for you. Any feedback is welcome, and you can always ask me for another rec! Have fun reading! 📚 |

| I really liked the event, it is the first time I have participated in something like this. It seemed very dynamic to me, I liked looking for a gift that would be liked by the person to whom we were going to recommend an anime. Thanks to that, you see that there are more people than you think with the same tastes. I hope this year will be done again and it will be just as fantastic. Greetings and Happy New Year !! |

| Thank you @RioAl for the wonderful gifts! I got done with your first recommendation Hitorigurashi no Shougakusei and you weren't wrong with the final episode making me tear up. Initially I thought 30 mins wouldn't be enough to make me care for the girl and the subtitles at first made it hard to take the show seriously but seeing the main girl continue to smile day by day even with everything that happened to her, made me love the show. I only got 1 episode into Sakura Trick but I like it so far. Might be a while before I finish it because I'm catching up on seasonal anime. Once I'm done I will definitely finish the rest. Again thank you for the recommendations and thank you to all the amazing elves who helped organise the event. |

| Thank you @ReturnbyNathan for the recommendations! I appreciate the time and thoughtfulness that you've put into this. Believe it or not, both Slime Taoshite 300-nen, Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita and Majo no Tabitabi have always been on my radar, and getting a movie recommendation of Mary to Majo no Hana is a pleasant surprise too! They are solidly in my Plan to Watch list, and I will check them out for sure. Thank you to all the amazing elves for organizing yet another wonderful Secret Santa event. Have a happy and safe new year everyone. |

| Here's another happy gift recipient! A big thank you to my Santa @Luply for the best three profile pics ever! Rest assured they'll be put to good use. :) Another shoutout is to my recipient @Miss_Glozie for proudly displaying the monstrosity that was my gift on her profile. <3 And last, but not the least, a big thank you to all the elves and the MAL team for holding and managing this event in the first place (especially to Elf-Rin who was Santa-saintly patient) as I submitted my gift practically last second. Hope to see you all next year as well! |

| Thank you to all the santas and organizers. @Freio_ABS Thank you for the gift. Hope you had a nice holiday season. I started watching Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou and I loved the first chapter. I haven't moved on just because you know when a show gives you the impression that it's going to make you ugly cry, well... thats why. I think it's the perfect rec, I just didn't wan't to cry last week. I'll finish it within a week or so, but just know that it's perfect for me. So thank you! |

Your work is very hard and I appreciate your dedication! ° ˖✧◝ (⁰▿⁰) ◜✧˖ ° I would not know how to define it well, but I was very excited at all times, both waiting for my gift and looking for anime / manga and trying to write the best possible so that they would not be disappointed. and I need to thank @ineedcuddles and @Yukio8 for their gifts! they were completely right with their choice ☆ thank you very much ☆♡ (i'm in the process of finishing reading and watching those animes, i just need a little more time) :( |

I'll message you with more detail later on, but I actually had been eager to tell you just how happy your recs made me! It's true that the two I've watched/started so far have not been ones I've ended up liking, but that doesn't change the fact that your reasoning was exactly on point! When I got your gift, I felt like you really understood the kinds of things I love and that matter to me, and that you'd put such thought into your gift...so yeah, they made me super-happy even though I didn't end up liking them! Thank you! |

| Thanks to all the elves for the hard work! Thank you very much to @shinotenshibara for the recommendations! I enjoyed watching both ef: A Tale of Memories and ef: A Tale of Melodies, especially the latter. I don't mind old animes/art style at all and actually really appreciate its unique and artistic animation. I'll definitely watch Hoozuki no Reitetsu soon since I need some comedy after all that drama and angst lol and will get around to the other recommendations eventually c: |

I've enjoyed the anime for both Slime Taoshite 300-nen, Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita, and Majo no Tabitabi so much that I have started reading their source material (Light Novels). Mary to Majo no Hana is such a classic already in my family my grandparent love the film. I do hope you enjoy it. |

| Thank you @Niveen_Sleem for your recommendations, I watched Petshop of Horrors (I honestly thought it was going to be something like the musical but it was completely different) I did like it. As for the second rec, I'll watch that soon when I have more time. Thanks for the rec @LePiratePapi I haven't been able to read it yet, I just found a copy to order so I'm still waiting for it to come in the mail, but I'm sure I'll love it after seeing the premise. |

| Thank @Inyele for this awesome recomendations. I already watched through "Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou". I needed some time to get into it, butit grew on me. I can see why you liked it so much. Its like school rumble for me. I missed a real story line, but but this scenes with that rivergirl killed me^^ With "Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun" im on episode 8 right now. Its very cute, very funny ideal for. I'm hoping of an happy ending, because the characters are quite original and sakura need to be rewarded for all her effords=) Also thank you to alle the elfs. Especially Elf-chama. I got recomendations that are really are perfect for the dark and cold winter. It was a blast.=D |
