I'm Related To Santa Clause

Last night I was telling my kids about my Christmas as a kid. I was telling them about Grandpa Honey Bear who would hide presents all year and take two days to wrap them and how Aunt Laurie would wake us all up even though she was an adult and we all had to wait for Grandpa Roundy to take a shower. I showed them a picture of Grandpa Honey Bear. Afterwards they went to bed but were still awake. Eliora has had a fever so I went upstairs to check on them and could hear Eliora and Audrey talking. The conversation went along these line....
Audrey- "So Grandpa Honey Bear was married to G.G.?"
Eliora- "Yeah"
Audrey-"And he died?"
Eliora- "Mom said he did but I was just wondering... Grandpa loved Christmas and Mom said he bought presents all year long"
Audrey- "Yeah"
Eliora-"What if he wasn't buying them, what if he was making them? You know he was big and he always shaved and his kids like Christmas. What if he was Santa Claus and he wanted to come live and have a family but then he had to go back to North Pole? Mom would never know it because she never saw his beard."
Audrey-"What about G.G. Eliora. That would mean she was Mrs. Clause."
Eliora-"She does travel a lot Audrey and mom said she was a good cook"

Congrats G.G., I think you have been labeled as having once been married to Santa Claus.
