Santa and his helpers came a little early this year for the kids at St. Margaret's Center — and for this special visit, he didn't arrive in his sleigh.

The "Renegade Pigs,” a motorcycle club made up of current and former police officers, firefighters and paramedics, stop by the children's hospital every year to spread a little Christmas cheer.

In true North Pole style, they traveled through St. Margaret's to bring gifts to everyone on their nice list.

For kids who are spending the holidays in the hospital, being able to meet the big man himself makes the season a whole lot brighter.

And for Santa, it's an irreplaceable holiday tradition.

"It brings more joy to me than it I think does to them. I look forward to it every year, I look forward to driving up and seeing all the patients and the nurses and the staff that work here. The adults are so good, the kids are so good. I'm glad I make their day,” said Santa.

If you'd like to help spread a little holiday spirit, the Renegade Pigs accept donations to help fund projects like this one. You can learn more at their website.
