Just as we affirm that many children will be the kings of the house tomorrow for the amount of gifts they will receive, more than one will make a face of circumstance when a bag of coal is found among their gifts, some will cry and others will soon take A piece to the mouth.
He Sweet coal It is another of the goodies that appear at the foot of the Christmas tree in many homes, in some as grace, in others as indirect and for the little ones as teaching, that is, if they receive coal from the Magi, it means that They have not behaved as well as they should during the year and that there are things that must change.
Sweet coal is made with sugar and water, so that at the same time that children receive a warning about their behavior, they receive a candy that they love to eat (as long as it does not obfuscate their meaning). If your little one is going to receive coal for the first time, it is convenient that you explain the reason with the best of your smiles, you also have to leave the Magi in good place, you can tell him for that they bring it sweet because they know it is A good child and you just have to try a little to behave better.
According to the tradition Baltasar is the unfortunate Wizard King who has to punish children with coal, a very old tradition, when His Majesty's gifts were based on necessary things, Melchor brought shoes and clothes, Gaspar brought nuts, honey or cottage cheese, and Baltasar already knows, although now he brings up colored coal.
