Christmas annoyance!!

This one is becoming more and more common, and it bugs me every single time I see it.
From today's Free Lance-Star:

"Kathleen, who helped coordinate last night's event, recommended that Lynes propose during the tree lighting because a lot of relatives would be there, including parents and grandparents.
Afterward, she encouraged the couple to take a picture with Santa Clause, who had ridden to the festivities in a firetruck."

clause = a portion of a sentence
Claus = jolly old St. Nick
Is it the fault of the movie The Santa Clause that these two are mixed up, or is it just sloppiness??? Doesn't make me want to ho-ho-ho. :(
