Some of the best Christmas gifts fit in stockings and babies born around the holidays are no exception.
That's why babies born at Magee-Women's Hospital at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center get special stockings if they're in the hospital on Christmas Day.
A very good friend of mine born days before Christmas over 50 years ago has a picture of her being brought home from the hospital in a Christmas stocking!
I had my third at home on Christmas Eve ten years ago this year! She didn't come home in a stocking (being born at home ) but I do have a picture of me giving birth next to the christmas tree, maybe that counts .
I love to tell her she was my best christmas present I'll ever have (and she never tires of hearing me say it).

From their Website, it does not appear that they are a Christian hospital. What do they do if the parents are Jewish or Muslim and don't want a Santa themed outfit for their infants?

They probably let the parents make the choice. There's a fairly large Jewish community in Pittsburgh.
I assume anyone who doesn't want their baby in a stocking and hat can just opt out, although most of the non-Christians I know still do typical holiday stuff like hang stockings and get a tree.

Many Jewish people do not especially if they are traditionally religious.
Many Jews (even highly assimilated Jews) are uncomfortable about Christmas. We don't object to Christians celebrating Christmas, but we don't particularly want to celebrate it ourselves, and there is enormous social pressure to celebrate Christmas, whether we want to or not. One Jewish writer said it's like being a man in the lingerie department: you feel like you don't belong there.

Really? Something cute and happy for the season and this has to be brought up? In this litigious day and age, do you honestly believe they would place little Adam Levine or Mohammed Ali in a Christmas stocking without the parent's consent?
