It’s a great feel-good Christmas story to get your bells jingling. A daughter shared her Christmas wish for her mother on social media.
On the TikTok account @tacoboutjoys, a little girl shared a short video shot inside her mother’s restaurant, “Taco-Bout-Joy’s,” in Glenview, Illinois. It is owned by sisters Joy Milan and Kack Keomanivong.
Isabel is Joy’s daughter and the video shows the shop empty. She shares that she wishes should give her mother customers for Christmas.
“It breaks my heart to see my mom watching the door every day, waiting for a customer to walk in,” reads the TikTok’s on-screen caption. “I wish I could give her customers for Christmas.”
The TikTok has already had over 38.5 million views, six million likes, and more than 69,000 comments.
“Op not me crying over this lady’s taco place thousands of miles away from me,” wrote one TikTok user.
“Bruh i wish i lived there. i bet those tacos are bomb af,” commented another.
One day later, Isabel posted some thrilling TikTok updates about the state of her mom’s business.
“Haven’t had time to sit down and update, but let’s just say it was only my mom and I this morning and we ended with this crew,” reads the on-screen caption in the Dec. 9 video.
The video shows a total of nine people working in the kitchen to keep up with orders.
“The whole family, and some friends came together today to help out and celebrate an amazing day,” reads the on-screen text as the video shows food being prepared. And there is a shot of the receipt spike holding an overflowing amount of bills!“Nothing but happy tears and laughter all day.”
“Drove 3 1/2 hours and definitely worth it love supporting small businesses” reads another comment.
“Seriously thinking about driving the 7.5 hours from Nashville just to support and eat!” wrote another user.
Merry Christmas!
