I know that in my town they are trying to get the Christmas joy out of here. They say that Santa Clause saying HO HO HO is offensive to women. After how many years of him saying that now someone has a problem with it. Oh Brother. What do you think?

I really think that stupid. I am female and 26 year hearing Santa sayong ho ho ho. That doesn't should like to me hoe at all. I think it really stupid for them to change. If they thought it was a problem then why did they change it or took care of it years ago. Why now. They are changing christmas and that is stupid. I am so used to santa saying ho ho ho..

I think this is so ridiculous. Santa has been saying, "HO HO HO" way longer than people have been using the word in a derogatory manner. Pretty soon we're going to have to watch every word we say because it may offend someone.

This will never happen. Ho Ho Ho came way before there was any negative connotation to it. This is something everyone needs to get over. If someone finds this offensive they have to much time on there hands. It is so not offensive to woman. Have a good day.

I live in England. Ho here isn't anything to do with the word 'whore' (and why would it be????), but it sounds like 'hoe', which is a garden tool. It could be perceived that Santa is selling gardening tools.

I'm a woman and I don't find it offensive at all, because it's not used in a derogatory context.
Eventually we'll all be walking around with our mouths taped shut all of the time.

not me, since santa says 'ho ho ho' as a laugh, and he said it first, he should continue to say it.....
but, the ones who started and continue to use the word 'ho' as a description of women - they should stop A.S.A.P.

Anyone who finds it offensive has used the term in a derogatory manner too often.

If people would get their mind out of the gutters and stop taking offense to everything we wouldn't have this problem.

Not me...
Its just another example of middle management suck-ups with too much time and not enough work, a few less meetings and a little more work.
