Boston NICU babies celebrate first Christmas with festive outfits

A Boston hospital is showcasing how the best gifts come in the smallest packages by dressing up some of their tiniest members for the holidays.

Mass General Brigham is helping infants at the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) celebrate their first Christmas in style with festive outfits.

From gingerbread man onesies to miniature Santa hats, the pint-sized patients donned their holiday best for a photoshoot at the hospital.

"In the NICU we love to celebrate every baby's milestone no matter how small," Erika Nolin, RN, a NICU nurse and one of the photoshoot organizers said in a statement.

"A babies first holiday is something every parent cherishes," Nolin continued. "Being able to bring some extra joy and normalcy to the families during this time is such an honor."

Hospital staff said the celebratory photoshoot is meant to exemplify the true spirit of the holidays.
