To volunteer, please say so in this thread and join MAL's Discord server. Frequent Questions |

| BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH |
| Oh my gosh, that sounds like such an exciting event! Sign me up! |
| Waiting for something to happen? |
| I skipped it last year. I'll take the badge this time |
 |
| Last year was my first time participating and I think it was wonderful! This year I'll also join the Images event for the first time so I'm curious how that's going to work out for me haha |
 |
| Let’s hope the ani rec I get this year is good ^.^ last years one was a bit disappointing Also that penguin badge is soooo cute 🥰 |
 |
| Is it that time already? Let's hope some elf volunteer doesn't threat me like shit like last year just because that person was incapable with my thought process whith still makes perfect sense in some aspect, but you require open mindfullness to understand it. |

FiestaOnline said: im not sure i understand i can recommend a anime/manga and make a personalized anime imagen on photoshop to another user but how do the admins know i did so and award me the badged? 😩 i feel dumb for not understanding There are 3 sections on this event, and you only need to participate in one of them if you want the badge. You will fill a sign-up post and, after you send in confirmation that you are indeed participating, we will pair you with a user you will have to make a present to (recommendation or image, depending on the section), and a different user will be assigned your present. After you finish, and before the deadline, you'll turn in your present and if everything is ok we will send it to the recipient anonimously (otherwise, we will notify you that you should change it). A week or so after we send the presents, all the pairings will be revealed and you will be able to talk to your santa and your recipient. I hope this makes it clearer, ask if you have more questions. |
