Mrs. Clause gives birth to baby boy on Christmas day
A couple who shares the similar surname as good old St. Nick just welcomed a baby boy on Christmas day.
Amanda (Mandy) Clause gave birth to Lorenzo Luciano Clause, who was born weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces on Dec. 25 at UPMC Horizon in Farrell, Pennsylvania, the hospital confirmed to "Good Morning America."
"He truly is a Christmas miracle and the best gift we will ever receive," dad Randy Clause told "GMA." "We hope it brought people joy to hear our story."
Baby Lorenzo arrived a surprising eight days early, so his Christmas birthday was, in fact, not planned.
“Through one foggy Christmas Eve and into Christmas morning, Mrs. Clause had a baby on Christmas Day at UPMC Horizon," UPMC announced on its Twitter page Thursday.
UPMC told "GMA" that one of the nurses thought it was a holiday prank when she saw the name Clause on the board in the maternity ward.
"The staff also joked on Christmas Eve, 'We hope the baby waits until midnight to arrive so he’s born on Christmas Day,' and that’s exactly what happened," UPMC said in a statement, adding there were a fair share of jokes about naming the baby Chris, Nick or Buddy.
The Clause family, from New Castle, Pennsylvania, posed for photos with Lorenzo, who fittingly wore a Santa hat after his birth.
The Clause's are heading home from the hospital Friday.
