SAN ANTONIO – Some San Antonio parents are receiving the gift of life this holiday season, and the special newborns will be continuing a 57-year Christmas tradition.
All babies born during the week of Christmas at the Methodist Hospital will be tucked into a custom stocking and hat to celebrate their holiday arrival.

The first newborn to receive their stocking was baby girl Robershaw, who was born at 8:05 a.m., Monday.
