Almost 3 decades after The Santa Clause came out, fans have only just realized the meaning behind the name.
It’s actually spelled wrong for a reason.
Scroll on to find out more…
Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year…
The holiday season has officially begun, and we couldn’t be merrier.
From stores adorned with Christmas lights, to Starbucks bringing out their Gingerbread Lattes…
Life couldn’t get much better.
But what makes the holiday season so special?
Let’s take a look…
The tree…
You simply can’t have Christmas without the tree… I mean where is good old Saint Nick going to put the presents otherwise?
There’s something nostalgic about the warm glow of the lights and the twinkle of the ornaments that brings people together.
And this has been the case for generations!
Then there’s the possibility of snow…
I think we’ve all dreamt of a white Christmas once in our lives, and when we get that fresh blanket of snow on the big day, it’s even more idyllic.
With snow comes Snowmen…
And no matter what age you are, there’s something pretty exciting about going out and building your first Snowman of Christmas.
Food…
We can’t forget about the incredible food!
Holiday vacation…
Whether you’ve got time off from work, or you’re headed home from school for the holidays, there’s nothing better than getting that much-needed time away.
Family…
Christmas is a time to recharge and spend quality time with loved ones, whether that’s friends or family, or even just your neighbors, it’s the best time to come together.
Hot drinks…
Hot chocolate, mulled wine, gingerbread lattes, no matter what your drink of choice is, as long as it’s hot, it encapsulates that cozy Christmas feeling.
Parties…
Love them or hate them, Christmas parties are a huge tradition and the best way to get to know your co-workers and spread the holiday cheer.
Sales…
Everyone loves a bargain, and with Christmas being one of the most expensive times of the year, the Christmas sales are one of the best times to bag one.
Giving presents…
Although receiving presents is definitely top of the list during Christmas, it’s also important to give during this time of year, and remember what the whole holiday is all about.
Ice Skating…
Whether it’s an indoor or outdoor rink, there’s something incredibly Christmassy about skating during the holidays.
Staying in and getting cozy by the fire…
The holiday season is the best excuse to relax and de-stress, and what better way to do that than putting your feet up and watching your favorite show with logs burning in the background?
This brings us to the movies…
It wouldn’t be Christmas without the classic Christmas movies.
We’ve had a whole range of movies that have become household staples this time of year…
Some of the classics include Elf, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Grinch, and Miracle on 34th Street.
The list is endless…
And one of the most popular movies has recently left people baffled by the title.
A whopping twenty-eight years after it first came out.
The Santa Clause starring Tim Allen was a huge hit when it first came out in 1994, and it’s turned into a real Christmas classic.
But there’s one thing fans didn’t realize about the title…
And people were not happy about the revelation.
There’s a reason Santa Clause is spelled with an ‘e’ in the movie…
It comes down to the fact Allen’s character, Scott Calvin, has to accept the legal clause of the agreement to become the next Santa.
Santa Claus is actually meant to be spelled without the ‘e.’
“Still trying to accept the fact that I’ve been unironically spelling it Santa ‘Clause’ like the 1994 movie starring Tim Allen. not realizing it was a play on words for like my whole entire life. Merry Christmas,” one baffled Twitter user wrote.
While another added: “When I was a kid I had no idea why they called it ‘The Santa Clause.’ I had no idea what a ‘clause’ was, I just thought they deliberately spelled ‘Claus’ wrong for some reason.”
“PSA: The Santa Clause has brought a lot of joy to folks since 1994, but it has also raised a generation of adults who don’t know how to spell Santa’s name properly. The proper spelling is Santa C-L-A-U-S,” a third wrote.
