When I was a child, I never gave Mrs. Claus a thought! I didn’t even know she might have a first name. As a teen, I learned behind every successful man there is a woman. Then like many boomer women, I married my “prince.” Now that I’m older, wiser (?), I embrace the saying, “A woman without a man is a like a fish without a bicycle.” Well, I’m still holding onto my man and my bike…but…there are fantasy legends that still persist that I would like to end.
But to answer what Mrs. Claus would be today: First, she’d be part of the Elder Chicks online community, still baking cookies while marketing her brand on social networks and supplying to stores across the globe. She’d have her own cooking show from the Northpole; be a guest on The View; write a bestseller cook book “101 Ways to Make Reindeer” (just kidding); AND still be madly in love with Santa providing him with support and encouragement.
She sounds like a thoroughly modern 21st century lady! Alas, not even Mrs. Claus can’t do it all, so after the 25th she and Santa will holiday together in Bermuda until March 2015.

Mr. Claus would be a very lucky guy!
I never thought of her either. A good tale.
Definitely our kind of ElderChick!
I never gave Mrs. Claus a thought either, she was just someone we saw kissing Santa Claus according to the song. But the concept of a wife/mother mending, washing etc. to me was a valuable resource not ever respected. My age now is near 70 and I look back at the “moms” I knew then compared to the contemporary of now; I’d take the times “back then” . I believe the children and families were better for having someone “in the background” keeping it all together.
I love this vision on Mrs Claus. But I think I always saw her as the woman who made it possible for Santa to do what he did. Someone needed to feed and clothe all those Elves, remind Santa to get enough sleep and eat right. I’m sure she helped keep the “lists” straight and kept the schedules and the books. Now she would be an Executive Assistant.
No matter what we envisioned Mrs. Claus, we all agree that she is strong and wise woman. Thank you for your comments and insights!
