Baby in a stocking

Santa came early to Wayne Memorial Hospital in Honesdale with Christmas-stocking buntings for new babies like little Michael Maas, shown here. The stockings are made and donated every year to the Hospital’s New Beginnings unit by Elsie Andersen, a member of the Wayne Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. Michael, born to Mireille Floruti of Lake Huntington, New York, arrived in the world on Dec. 12 at exactly 12 noon.(Contributed photo)
