Santa and holiday-themed friends visit kids at children's hospital in Macon

With a little help from the Macon-Bibb County Fire Department, Santa spread some holiday cheer to young patients through the hospital windows.

MACON, Ga. — You're used to seeing Santa on his sleigh, but Wednesday, he tried out a different mode of transportation, and he traded in his reindeer, for firefighters!

Santa hopped on a fire truck ladder to greet children at the Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital.

With a little help from the Macon-Bibb County Fire Department, Santa spread some holiday cheer to young patients through the hospital windows.

"It brings a lot of joy to the kids, and I'm sure the firemen also enjoy it, because it's an opportunity for them to also share and bring some hope for these kids that are here," said Dr. Mitch Rodriguez.

Santa waved and smiled at children inside the hospital before heading back down to the ground where some other holiday favorites awaited him.

The grinch and an elf on the shelf also stopped by to give Santa a helping hand.
