High School Musical star Zac Efron teamed up with Gifts.com to play Santa Claus for a bunch of needy and sick kids at the Mattel Children’s Hospital on the campus of UCLA yesterday afternoon. Opting to wear a leather bomber jacket in lieu of the traditional red suit and beard, Zac brought mirth, merriment and lots of toys for the kids who, unfortunately, will be spending the holidays in hospital care. Here are a few pics from yesterday’s event:

I understand that Zac took the time to sign autographs for, chat and take photos with every single kid at the hospital which I think is cool as hell. I think it’s really awesome that Efron would agree to do an event like this. I’m sure it must be really difficult for kids to spend Xmas in the hospital — no matter what their affliction — but getting to spend time with Zac Efron prolly makes up for some of their grief. Zac‘s stock has shot thru the roof for me on this one … kudos to him for being such a swell guy.

Oh my gosh. Soooo cute! I’m not a huge fan of his, but the guy is really awesome for visiting those kids who have to spend Christmas in the hospital. He just went up 5 points in my book.
Yeah, well, I would want this man to be my sperm donor if I got desperate for kids and wanted a gorgeous blue-eyed baby. He’s rather too pretty for words to describe, I’ve seen him very close-up and yes, his eyes are really THAT blue!
awww YAY ZAC :D
These pics are full of cuteness. Whaddaguy!!!
He’s pretty stinkin’ adorable – and sweet as candy apparently!! I’d love to eat him up :-)
He is such a sweetheart. I really like this guy, he has a big heart.
out of nowhere, ive started to think zac is adorable!
