What is wrong with the world?? I mean really last week, Santa was going to have to get thinner and this week he cant say his greeting? Why dont we just quit using Santa and have a sign up that says greed, buy me buy me buy me??
Oh oh oh!!

It is ridiculous. The Santa spelling of the word is "ho" and had no other meaning but brings joy when heard. . The other spelling is "hoe" like a garden utinsil....which is also used and cast aside.
Now unless a mall Santa was working, and saw a woman and may have known her from a past experience or five and chose to emphasized his "HO...HO...HO" instead of the customary "hohoho"I wouldn't see a problem. I think its only offensive if you think you are a HO...HO...HO.
I am not.

Santa isn't saying ho ho ho to women, and if they are childish enough to be offended.......f*uck them anyway, all the more reason to offend them purposely. Why aren't they thinking of the f*ucking kids? Don't you think that Santa saying "ha ha ha" will make the kids think he's laughing at them? Wouldn't that be offensive to the kids? And if I remember correctly......Santa is there for the children, not the 2 or 3 petty women who would actually be offended by a fat old man dressed in red saying ho ho ho. This world is becoming ridiculous.

It's sad to think that a child young enough to sit on Santa's lap would even know what a "ho" is.

Yes, it's unbelievable...
My daughter (25) who is crazy for Christmas as that girl in the movie "Instant message", says (from the time she was little) that what Santa is really saying is: hole, hole, hole...
Kind of looking for the chimney hole...
Now, these guys are such pervs! Talk about dirty minds...
If Santa would say; ha, ha, ha... even I'd be scared or think he was making fun of me...get real...
