Santa Visits St. Francis Children's Hospital

Tulsa, OK -- Everyone thinks they are busy this time of year but a man who is even busier took time today for a special stop in Tulsa.

Santa made a stop at Saint Francis Children's Hospital.

He has been on duty at Promenade Mall but knew not every kid would be able to come see him, so he went to them instead.

Visiting the kids even got him a little choked up.

"I'm having a wonderful time, even though it's sad, seeing these kids with the challenges that they have. Doing the best I can to give them a little cheer and hope and better wishes for the New Year," Santa said.

He says some of the kids pulled his beard just to test it and see if it was real and his answer to why the reindeer weren't with him?

They're out to pasture, putting on extra weight to get them through the busy Christmas Eve night.
