CHICAGO -- The hospital is no place for a kid to be around the holidays, but one Chicago organization â Holiday Heroes â does its part to make kids more comfortable. Christmas is right around the corner, but there's no place one particular elf would rather be than at 3-year-old Finley's side.'He is inpatient right now, and he's been here for 15 days or so. Somewhere in there. I've lost count,' said his mother, Jessica Edgar.
''You know, at the North Pole, we're like really busy this time of year. We're doing all kinds of stuff,' Holly said. Holiday Heroes brings kids in the hospital gifts such as activity boxes, sensory bags, and other supplies.'It's a whole bunch of squishes, and stress balls, and stuff that makes weird noises, because of course, we're elves. I mean, you should see us when we drink an entire gallon of syrup,' Holly said.
