That’s right, I said it. HO HO HO Are you offended? Why not? Maybe because it’s NOT OFFENSIVE!

My niece brought this to my attention and I thought it was an urban legend. But it turns out to be true. Santa’s in Australia (this is the only place I’ve seen it happen) are being told to not say “HO HO HO” because it can be offensive to women. They are being told to say “Ha Ha Ha” instead.

This is a prime example of how the PC police have taken over. This word was NEVER offensive until some stupid unintelligible rapper said “ho” instead of “whore”.  In fact, they didn’t even take the word “ho” from Santa, they just shortened the word whore. So how can you even equate it to Santa’s laugh?

I guess we need to recap what the PC police have done to Christmas. I’m sorry, X-mas…. oops I mean the holiday.

•  Christmas tree. It is now a Holiday tree
• Merry Christmas. It is now “Happy Holidays”
• Christmas carols. Nope, holiday songs (even though they are about Christmas)
• Manger scene. Wouldn’t want people to know what Christmas is about or anything.
• We now have scientists going around telling kids that it is impossible for Santa  to deliver  all the gifts in one night, because he would catch on fire due to friction. (Ya and maybe because he’s not real”

• And finally Ho Ho Ho. Because it might offend someone. Well, if you’re not a ‘ho’ and Santa is not calling you one, then how can it be offensive?

At the risk of offending people that read this, I will not wish you a Happy HOliday.

Merry Christmas.  That is, if you want one. I’m not trying to tell you what to do.
