Santa, Baby! Jolly One Leaves North Pole, Visits With Little Ones

REDWOOD CITY, CA – Santa Claus recently took time from his workshop duties at the North Pole to pay a visit to the New Parents Support Group at Dignity Health Sequoia Hospital and mingle with some of the cutest babies in San Mateo County.

“Santa,” who sometimes goes by the name Dr. John Hoff, OB-GYN, actually helped bring many of these little ones into the world.

Hoff has donned the red suit and white beard to meet up with the new parent group since 1998 -- a tradition started in the 1980s by his father, also John Hoff, MD.
