SAN ANTONIO — Babies born at Methodist Hospital the week of Christmas will be tucked in homemade stockings with a cute matching cap.
The first bundle of joy to experience this tradition was baby boy Justin Jr. who was born on Dec. 19.
“We couldn’t think of a better Christmas present,” said mother, Rea Fernandez. “We love being a part of this long-standing tradition.”
The tradition has been taking place for 58 years, and volunteers apart of the Blue Bird Auxiliary started sewing over 200 stockings this July.
