Robert King, also known as 'Santa', spent 31 years working in the NICU at before retiring in 2015. He now comes back every Christmas to spread holiday cheer.
"Having worked here, you know what it's like. It's a tough Christmas when you've got a baby here in the NICU," said King. "Hopefully what we're going to do is just make it a little easier for them, where maybe Christmas won't be quite so hard."
King said he'll continue this holiday tradition for many years to come.
