Claus, elves to visit daycare, UNC Hospitals

Posted on December 13, 2007 by Staff

Santa Claus, a nearly universally revered symbol of the spirit of Christmas, will visit UNC Hospitals and a UNC day-care center this month, UNC Health Care officials announced late Wednesday.

Eschewing his usual sleigh and flying reindeer rig, Claus will arrive via UNC Air Care helicopter at University Day Care at the William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education off N.C. 54 at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19. A statement from health care officials states that at the day-care center, he intends to hand out presents. The statement did not indicate whether Claus would stick to his usual custom and limit the distribution of gifts to children who for the most part have been good this year.

Claus and an entourage of elves are expected at UNC Hospitals at 9 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 20 where he is scheduled to visit adult patients and hand out to each what UNC officials describe as “a soft plush Christmas penguin.”

Candy canes will also be distributed to the hospital staff, the release said.
