It’s that most wonderful time of year again! You the know the one: the season where everyone wants to make love to Santa Claus and fulfill their life-long Christmas dreams! …Wait, what do you mean that’s not what the holiday season is all about? I mean, why else would Reibun Ike’s Twitter account be covered in a wealth of sexy Santas?

For all my true Santafuckers out there, though, I’ve got just the recommendation for you. Two summers ago I was assigned the manga “A Gift From Santa Claus” by chabasu, and at first I was like “no way. There’s no way is this actually a BL manga about Santa Claus.” But you bet your sweet ass it’s a BL manga about Santa Claus. Never ever underestimate the mousou power of a BL artist.

Orphaned as a child, Kiyoshi is an now an adult—a simple man with simple desires, he just wants to spend an incredibly beautiful, romantic Christmas with his partner snuggled up next to the tree, surrounded by candles and presents as they sip champagne and huddle close for warmth while watching snow gently fall outside. But newly single, Kiyoshi is starting to feel like his dream will never be realized. That is, until he happens upon a Santa in the park offering to grant any wish. He wishes for a boyfriend he can spend a romantic Christmas with, thinking he’s just shitposting into the wind, and then heads home.

But then the next night Saint Nick shows up at his doorstep, telling Kiyoshi he can do whatever he desires to his body. 😲

This manga is a rollercoaster from start to finish. In true chabasu “older bottom” fashion, Father Christmas is the one to offer up his body. Discarding his silky fake beard and naughty red suit he reveals himself to be Goh Kiritake—but he’s still very much Kris Kringle at heart. It turns out there are many “Santas” all around the world who discard their selves to become a vessel of happiness for children on Christmas. However, by allowing himself to be seen and desired as a man by Kiyoshi, Santa—Goh—must face his punishment by the board of Santas for his Christmas sins.

I don’t want to spoil too much, since I truly feel like this is a manga that needs to be experienced from start to finish. There’s a lot that’s just mindbogglingly wild, such as… you know… watching Santa get fucked. But there are also some incredibly sweet moments, particularly around the fact that Kiyoshi is an orphan, and watching him finally make the Christmas memories he never got growing up. And I also really enjoyed the lighthearted worldbuilding around why there are actually many Santas around the world of all races and creeds—because these are all men who’ve dedicated their lives to making the children around them happy.

There are also hot reindeer.

Incredibly funny and cute and bizarre and entertaining (and sexy—something I don’t often associate with Christmas), I can’t recommend this enough for a heartwarming and light Christmas read! I know I personally think back to this manga every Christmas since it was first assigned to me. Make this your new holiday tradition—you won’t regret it.

I leave you with a simple question this Christmas: if Santa was exiled because he let you fuck him, would you choose to live the rest of your life with Santa in seclusion in an endless winter? I sure hope you would.
