SALT LAKE CITY After the year we ve had, even Santa needed a little Christmas Eve head start.
That s why he visited LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City Thursday night instead of Friday morning.
He wanted to make sure health care workers got an early gift.
Santa also visited Primary Children s Hospital and the University of Utah Hospital on Thursday.
DoorDash and Uber Eats have nothing on Santa. He got a head start on Christmas by delivering food to health care workers in hospitals. He knows not everyone gets Christmas Eve off and he wanted to say thank you. @KSL5TV at 10. #ksltv#MerryChristmasEvepic.twitter.com/wXVSDZGCmS Alex Cabrero (@KSL AlexCabrero) December 25, 2020
