Enough! It's "Santa Claus", you hear!

I just read ONE MORE STORY with the same misspelling. No, it's not a typo, the authors are confused.

I just did a google search for

"santa clause" site:bigclosetr.us

and got 86 hits. This is bad.

The fat jolly man's name is "Santa Claus" (well, it's actually Kris Kringle, but you know what I mean).

"The Santa Clause" (with the trailing "e") is a JOKE, a PUN on "clause" as in a legal contract, and "Santa Claus". This obviously common misconception stems from the name of a 1994 movie featuring Tim Allen: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111070 and a 2002 sequel http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0304669

So if you are writing about Mr. Kringle or any related females, please get the name right. Unless there's a legal contract involved. I wouldn't put this past some of you. No, it's not a challenge. Except, now, it probably is.

Sheesh. :-)
