Insisting that Santa say "Ha, ha, ha" instead of "Ho, ho, ho." is
pretty silly. But taking a firm stance that Santa has to utter the
sounds "ho, ho, ho" when laughing has to be somewhere nearly as silly.
Tempest in a teapot. If some of the women walking by the shopping mall
Santa are so ridiculously stupid to think they are being insulted when
they hear a fat old man cry out
"Ho, ho, ho." too fricking bad. Pop culture, or fear, should never
trump simple harmless fun.

Of course it's silly.
It's not silly to a 4 or 5 year old kid though.

(It's also interesting that this originated in the land "down under" and not
the USA.)

p.s. I typed "land under" because I don't know how to spell Austriaela.

Substitute Oz. for Australia.

And it's shorter.
