Oh My Gawd... I've heard it all now. Read this..... (only copying excerpts to shorten the story and get the point across, deleting the country of origin as to not offend anyone from that country!)
"" (Insert city/country here)'s Santa Clause's have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women, Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead.
One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use "ho ho ho" because it could frighten children and was too close to "ho", a US slang term for prostitute.""
one "on the record" response to this-
OMG - this is the last straw!!!!! It's Christmas, Merry Christmas, gifts and Christmas trees, Santa and Ho Ho Ho - period. I'm so sick of Season's Greetings, seasonal trees, whatever - quit messing with Christmas already! Do we go to other countries and tell them to change their holiday celebrations? Christmas the way it is is OUR HOLIDAY - and nobody is being called a "ho" so settle down - unbelievable! What's next, the wreath on my door is too much like a c--- ring? Gimme a break!
OK, so we've been banned from saying Merry Christmas in some places because not everyone celebrates the Christmas tradition, and finds it "offensive"... hence making it illegal to say Merry Christmas, and changing it to Happy Holidays, or Season's Greetings!!!! What the HELL is this world coming to that we have to give up our traditions because someone of a different religion disagrees with it? OMG. It is ridiculous, and I think there are way too many people with way too much time on their hands to cook up some of this sh*t.
grrrrrrrrrrr
and Merry Christmas, HO-HO-HO!

i love hos there should be more of them
This made me laugh because I was so mad when I heard it on the news. And this happened at my daughters choir concert a few days ago. While the choir was singing Deck the Halls they changed a word around that just made me roll my eyes and ask myself waht this world was coming too. It went like this "Don we now our BRIGHT apperal"...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!
I try my best to be sensitive to other people and be polite and not offend...but wtf is offensive about saying gay apperal. Are we as a society so stupid that we cannot differentiate between gay as in happy and gay as in homosexual? Gimme a friggin break!
I think the only people who want us to stop using those words are those that are uncomfortable with themselves. They can take thier political correctness and shove it up thier.....gluteous maximus..don't want to OFFEND!!!!!!
HO!HO!HO! Have a GAY holiday season everyone!
yep..I myself celebrate christmas...and I will say HO HO HO and Merry Christmas til the day I die! If someone else celebrates the season differently then more power too them! I encourage you to say what you wish and light the menora(s?) or have a Very Happy Kwanza..but I'll be damned if anyone but me is going to dictate what I say to celebrate...Next thing you know animal rights extremists..(note that I said extremists and not supporters) will tell us we cannot call female dogs bitches because some women may be offended at such a word..well yanno what...BITE ME, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HO HO HO BE GAY AND MERRY HAVE A DRINK AND SMOKE A FAG SLAP A GUY ON THE BUM GO BUY YOURSELF A PEDIGREE *****, LOL I have a headache now....heh..take care all and have a great day!

Hi RiverQueen,
YES. I am Australian.
YES. I am ashamed of our Powers That Be
YES. We have a Federal Election on this coming Saturday
YES. I shall say HO HO HO as much as I like.
Isn't it bloody ridiculous????
Hey Swanny...
Yeah It is ridiculous, pretty soon they will be changing the Easter Bunny to a different animal because of Playboy Bunnies, and St Patty's will be banned from using a leprechaun because of Little people. WIll they stop promoting Lucky Charms and the Keebler Elves too? Santa is satan with the letters scrambled, so maybe we will have a differnt Christmas figure as well ~ sigh... well, no matter what they say, it will always be Merry Christmas, HoHoHo, Easter Bunnies and Leprechauns for me!
Good luck and HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!
