The Clauses...

I think it was the week after Christmas that Else and I were in the store, and a short, older man with a white beard walked by, and Else pointed to him and happily exclaimed, "There's Santa!"

This morning we went to a local sewing / appliance repair store. The owner looked to be in his 90s, he had a bit of white stubble, and he was wearing a hat that was somewhat similar to a Santa hat (but not nearly as long and different colors). After we had been talking to him for about 5 minutes, Else said to me, "I want to see Mrs. Claus."
