  運命としか
  Fate and nothing
  アートが夢と引き換えに妻と子供を手にしたというストーリーが深いですね。騙して手に入れた家族なので、ずっと辛かったでしょう。でもそのおかげで子供は愛情たっぷり受けて良い子に育ち、子供の実父は大成功を収めているというのが救いです。

  The story of art getting a wife and child in exchange for a dream is deep. It must have been a long time since it was a family that cheated on them and got it. But thanks to that, children receive plenty of love and grow up to be good children, and the child's biological father has achieved great success, which is a relief.

  ぐっと来た
  It came a long time
  藍まりと先生のマンガはハズレがない。この作品はその中でも一番ぐっと来た。3人が過ちを冒してすれ違ってしまったけれど、それを恨んだり責め合う訳でもなく優しさの溢れるストーリーに引き込まれた。結局は本当の事は言えずにハピエンかと思わせてからのラストに涙が出ました。ティミーが本当によい子。

  There is nothing wrong with Ai Mari and Sensei's manga. This work was the most popular of them all. The three made mistakes and passed each other, but there was no way they resented or blamed each other, and I was drawn into a story full of kindness. In the end, I couldn't tell the truth and it made me think I was happy, and I burst into tears at the end. Timmy is a really nice kid.

  泣いた…
  I cried...
  This review contains spoilers. 「パパはサンタだったの？」うわーん！そうだよ！サンタだったからみんなのところに行かないとだからもう会えないんだよ…とティミーに言ってあげたい、いやアートがそう思わせて天国に行ったんですよね。きっとずっとティミーと、騙して結婚してしまったサマンサと、妻子を取り上げてしまったリードに対しての未練があって留まっていたんじゃないかと思えて、本当は憎まなきゃならないのに憎ませてくれない…。本物の親子が失った時間を考えたらなんて言っていいのかわからないけど、めちゃくちゃ悪いことしたのに憎めない、両親に大切に育てられてきっと善良なスポーツマンだったアートが、どんな気持ちでサマンサに嘘をついたのか、産まれてきたティミーがリードに瓜二つなことをどれだけ恐れたか、それでも野球選手の夢を捨ててティミーとサマンサを大切にしてきた、だってサマンサに二人目の子がいないのはアートが無理強いをしなかったからですよね？もう何もかもが切なすぎる。最後までずっとティミーの気持ちを考えて父親と名乗り出なかったリードの愛も本物。でもティミーは「サンタがヨゼフだった」ことを知ってしまい、ようやく本物の家族になれたんですね…。あー本当に切なくて優しい、まさにクリスマスの奇跡なお話でした。

  This review contains spoilers. “Was Dad Santa?” wow! That's right! I wanted to tell Timmy that since it was Santa, I had to go to everyone's place, so I wouldn't be able to meet him anymore... No, art made me think so, and I went to heaven. I'm sure they stayed because they had regrets about Timmy, Samantha, who cheated on them and got married, and Reed, who took their wife, and even though they actually had to hate it... I don't know what to say when I think about the time lost by real parents and children, but even though Samantha did something insanely bad, I couldn't hate art, who was carefully raised by her parents and was surely a good sportsman, lied to Samantha, how much she feared that Timmy when she was born would have a bad lead, and even so, abandoned her dream of being a baseball player and cherished Timmy and Samantha, because the reason Samantha doesn't have a second child is art That's because they didn't force it, right? Everything is too sad anymore. The love of Reed, who thought about Timmy's feelings all the way to the end and didn't come forward with the name of his father, is also real. But Timmy learned that “Santa was Joseph,” and we were finally able to become a real family... Oh, it was really sad and kind, just a Christmas miracle story.
