  • Taking Mrs. Claus out of Obscurity

    Engaging history about the woman behind the man - Mrs. Claus. Episode starts with the history on Mr. Claus himself then blends into the mention of his dutiful wife in stories and poems in the 1800’s. Then some more modern and well-deserved representations of “the Missus” in recent times. Lots of fun to listen to - so grab a glass of eggnog and enjoy!!
