With a song for the season, he delivers gifts from afar. "To me, kindness and joy is kind of the meaning of Christmas. So when I bring a package, I'm not only seeing the kindness, I'm bringing them joy, too," Batts told WMAQ.

Batts says he comes from a musical family and he enjoys giving back. "Those people who can't give back and I give to them, that's what really matters," he said.
