A heartwarming Christmas story has been spreading on social media and bringing joy to people all over the country. It all started when a young girl named Isabel, whose mother owns a restaurant called “Taco-Bout-Joy’s” in Glenview, Illinois, took to TikTok to share her Christmas wish. In the video, which was shot inside the empty restaurant, Isabel expresses her desire to give her mother more customers for the holiday season. She explains that it breaks her heart to see her mother waiting by the door every day, hoping for someone to come in and support the small business.
The TikTok video, which was posted on the account @tacoboutjoys, quickly gained popularity, with over 38.5 million views, six million likes, and more than 69,000 comments. Many people were touched by Isabel’s sincere wish and expressed their support for the restaurant, which is owned by sisters Joy Milan and Kack Keomanivong. Some TikTok users even wrote that they would be willing to drive long distances just to support the small business and try its delicious tacos.
One day after the initial TikTok video was posted, Isabel shared an update on the state of her mother’s business. In the video, which was captioned “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,” Isabel showed the restaurant’s kitchen filled with nine people working hard to keep up with the influx of orders. The on-screen text explained that the whole family and some friends had come together to help out and celebrate the amazing day, with nothing but happy tears and laughter all day.
The video also showed a shot of the receipt spike, which was overflowing with bills, demonstrating the success of the small business. Many TikTok users were thrilled to see the update and expressed their excitement at the thought of supporting such a wonderful small business. One user wrote that they had driven 3.5 hours to visit the restaurant and that it was definitely worth it, while another user said that they were seriously considering driving 7.5 hours from Nashville just to support the restaurant and enjoy its delicious food.
This heartwarming Christmas story is a reminder of the power of community and the importance of supporting small businesses, especially during the holiday season. It’s a great feel-good story that is sure to get your bells jingling and bring a smile to your face. Merry Christmas!
