MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The big man in purple became the big man in red!
Adrian Peterson and his wife Ashley dressed up as Santa and Mrs. Claus Tuesday afternoon.
They handed out holiday gift bags to over 400 kids living in transitional housing at Mary’s Place, just north of downtown Minneapolis.
Peterson said he’s done something similar in his home state of Texas for the past three or four years. And Peterson didn’t skimp for Minnesota, the outfit is complete with white eyebrows and spectacles.
Peterson said all he wants from Santa is a Super Bowl, but this day was all about bringing smiles to the faces of these kids.
