Santa and his elves were busy a little before Christmas by visiting nursing homes in Missoula.
A group of 12 elves visited 7 nursing homes to deliver socks full of goodies to Veterans for the third annual "Santa Socks Deliveries."
The event was hosted by the United Veterans Council and the magical elves are volunteers from American Legion and VFW Auxiliaries.
The head elf, Susan Reneau, known as "Santa Baby" says often times this interaction is the only Christmas some veterans may experience.
"And it's such a simple thing. All we do is hand them a sock and give them a kiss and I thought it was hilarious that one of my veterans refused to have Santa Claus kiss him but he wanted me to kiss him."
The veteran elves will continue their deliveries Sunday and Monday both in Missoula and the Bitterroot.
