new parents by delivering newborns in giant Christmas
stockings.
The bright red stockings were provided this week for babies
born at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. The Long
Beach Press-Telegram reports it's a half-century-old tradition.
The Redlands Community Hospital has been handing out
stockings to parents of infants born this month.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports the tradition began in
1930, but lapsed before it was revived in 2005.
This year, 16 volunteers made 250 fleece stockings during a
daylong sewing bee.
