Boy receives a sack of charcoal at Christmas and says he will use it to make “roasted carnita”

Santa Claus is said to have two lists: one of good children, to whom he grants his wishes, and another of little ones who have behaved so badly throughout the year that they only receive a lump of coal as a “gift.”

Children on this second list tend to have a bad taste in their mouths. However, the same is not the case in all situations. This was demonstrated by a small native of Sonora, Mexico, who on Christmas Eve received a sack of coal and far from crying, thanked for the gift, saying that he would use it to make a roasted carnita as a family. As expected, the child’s reaction went viral on TikTok.

This occurred in the middle of Christmas Eve after the TikTok user @itsmariamsi shared her nephew’s tender reaction to discovering that Santa Claus left him a sack with coal instead of the toys he had asked for.

As incredible as it may seem, the little one did not react with crying, screaming or tantrums, but was excited to receive the pieces of charcoal and even thanked for the gift, as it is perfect to be used in a roasted carnita.

Good thing Santa brought me this, right? To make roasted carnita. I thought they were carts.

@itsmariamsi uploaded the clip to TikTok with the intention of sharing a familiar moment with his friends and followers, but the reaction of the little boy touched Internet users so much that in a few hours it went viral, reaching more than a million views and thousands of comments.

Later, @itsmariamsi uploaded a second video clarifying that it was all a joke, which ended up giving them a beautiful lesson: He always sees the good side of things. In addition, he said that the little one did receive the gifts he had asked for, since he is a good boy.

There is no doubt that children always give us the best life lessons and that their innocence is a treasure that we must help preserve. We wholeheartedly hope that your roasted carnita will be a hit with your friends and family.
