happyhomemaker25 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 WHAT?! Don't you know there is no plural? There is only one Santa Claus!! :tongue_smilie: I really don't know. I always seem to make up my own plural words. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Santa Clauses. "Fourteen Santa Clauses jumped out of a plane." Although, I would say, "Fourteen men dressed as Santa Claus....." Then you don't have to worry about the correct plural. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you don't have to worry about the correct plural. :) :iagree: but I would just say Santas rather than Santa Clauses. :D And that is my uninformed opinion for the day.

Cinder Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 WHAT?! Don't you know there is no plural? There is only one Santa Claus!! :tongue_smilie: My first thought as well! :iagree: but I would just say Santas rather than Santa Clauses. My second thought. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pqr Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Santas I understand, but if one wanted the plural for Santa Claus. "I have eight Santas Claus on the mantle" is this like Mothers-in-Law? Well, I know that there is a world of difference between Santa and mother-in-law, but anyway.

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I have eight Santa Claus figurines on my mantle. :) Good point! Even one real Santa Claus would have a hard time fitting on a mantle! I can just imagine eight of them teetering on tip toe. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 There IS no plural, because there is only one. Duh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfamilygal Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 You wouldn't say "Santas Claus" because his name is Santa Claus. That would be like saying Janes Smith if you had two ladies named Jane Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be like saying Janes Smith if you had two ladies named Jane Smith. I was waffling until I read this and :iagree:. Sounds like it should be Santa Clauses then.
