Most folks associate summertime with wedding because of the festive flowers in bloom. But most people don't realize Santa Clause was married to Mrs. Claus not in the summertime, but in Winter and on Christmas Eve.
According to the most authoritative source available, the 1970 Arthur Rankin Jr. / Jules Bass' Christmas TV movie special, Santa (aka 'Kris Kringle') married the town teacher Miss Jessica somewhere around 1460. Because at the time Kris was a wanted man due to the evil shenanigans of the Burgermeister Meisterburger, Santa had to get married in the woods. But it's well known that due to the hard work of the little woodland creatures and the converted heart of the Winter Warlock (whose prayer to the Lord for one more tiny miracle was made on that special night when Ultimate Love came into the World), no cathedral ever looked more grand!
