Barack Obama surprised patients when he delivered gifts at a childrens hospital in Washington on Wednesday.
The former president wore a Santa hat and carried a sack of presents over his shoulder as he surprised patients and their parents at the hospital, Childrens National Health System, in the north-east part of the capital. He greeted them with a ho, ho, ho! and told them his reindeer were stuck in some snow, but he wanted to make sure he visited.
Obama chatted with patients in their rooms and stopped by several playrooms. He also recorded a video message for those he couldnt visit.
The hospital tweeted that Obama warmed our hallways and put smiles on everyones faces!
