Each year we choose to visit Santa at Easton; one of the interesting things about his visits to this location is that he keeps his appearance the same from year to year. At other sites he tweaks his look as time goes by to the degree you would almost guess that it is a different person in the red costume. Why would St. Nick choose to alter his facade at all the various places? Maybe he is trying to avoid someone (owes someone money? the henchmen of the international Wolverine Conspiracy? the IRS?).
This may seem silly, but the fact that he uses so many aliases (Father Christmas, Chris Cringle etc.) supports this theory. If he is trying to avoid some nefarious ner-do-well, it is nice to know that he feels safe enough in Ohio to maintain his constant appearance.
