When Santa hears a girl's wish, his eyes fill with tears of laughter

San José (California/USA) - In US shopping malls in particular, it has been a familiar sight during the Advent season for decades: Santa Claus sits on a large armchair in a cordoned-off area where each child is greeted one by one. There, the little ones can then make their wishes known to the man with the big beard. Just like Aurora, who recently visited the San José Eastridge Mall in California with her mother. What happened there is currently going viral on TikTok.

In the curious video, Santa Claus initially looks somewhat grimly into the camera of the mother filming, Silvia Solorio. But when he hears the girl's wish, he can't help but smile mischievously.

The reason: in this case, even Santa Claus is overwhelmed by the wish. Because instead of big and expensive presents, Aurora wants a little sister.

This sweet request and Santa's reaction not only made TikTok laugh, but also melted many a heart. There are now more than 360,000 likes for every 2.6 million clicks.

Of course, the question remains as to whether Aurora's mom will be able to help the man of gifts in this case.

Aurora already has two older brothers and her mother is not currently pregnant. But there is still hope.

"I intend to make her dream come true and give her a little sister in the near future. But she suffers from severe asthma and once we get that under control, I think I'll be ready for another baby," Solorio said in an interview with Newsweek this week.

Meanwhile, Santa is said to have been playing high poker.

He told Aurora that her sister would be coming soon because she was on the good list, according to her mother.

So now it's up to the Californian to "deliver".
