According to this story, that's what Santas down under will be saying this year instead of the more traditional - "ho, ho, ho." Apparently Santa's typical greeting is derogatory towards women. OK seriously? Mr. or Mrs. Claus could not be reached for comment, but I am fairly certain this has caused a lot of uproar up north.So in case anyone is keeping track:
1) My kids will wonder why Santa is always laughing
2) She (yes, she) won't be able to bring cupcakes into school on her birthday because some kids are too fat and lazy
3) She'll be solving algebraic equations in elementary school instead of going to recess/gym/art/music. Oh well, I guess she won't be left behind.
4) Will be called out of school on Halloween to march around the parking lot with her mom and dad (camcorder rolling) because having a school-wide parade is un-PC.
5) Will be reciting a God-less version of the Pledge of Allegiance.
If you can tell, I am fired up and I just wanted to see what everyone's thoughts are on the above matters. I am sure Uncle John will have a lot of wisdom to offer.
Matt, you are a pretty important person....can't you take care of some of these things? Oh and while you are talking to "them" please tell them to let you come home early. We miss you. And if you are still reading this, Kenny and I need Christmas ideas for you pronto!!
Ho! Ho! Ho! I mean...."Ha. Ha. Ha."

You know exactly what I think about all of that! I'm with you 100%!
Alright i'll bite sis. Here is my take on the 5 topics you listed...
1. I could be mistaken but ho ho ho was actually the way the so called st nick laughed, which is how it got started to begin with. I think the whole thing is stupid as well, but I don't think it will effect your kids at all as they would just look at it as ha ha ha growing up. Again it is dumb, but not sure how the kids will view it any differently. Isn't this only in Australia by the way?
2. I could argue the other way but agree with you.
3. I agree with you.
4. I have no idea what that is all about but I would probably agree with you based on the description. ITS HALLOWEEN MAN.
5. I could discuss this topic for hours, but I will avoid it for now.
HE HE HE
rob i think i liked your comment as much as amanda's

i am with you amnada

I don't know if I can top Rob's response, but here is my 2 cents:
1) I say MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HO HO HOOOOOOOOOOO!! And I am going to buy a CHRISTMAS tree and CHRISTMAS presents when we get back from the Dunes. I will be going to the mall which is decorated for CHRISTMAS where all of the stores are having CHRISTMAS sales. I will be sending out CHRISTMAS cards to everyone during this CHRISTMAS SEASON. HO HO HO!!!!
2) It isn't a proper birthday if there isn't a cupcake involved. I will never send my kid to school with a bag of carrot sticks to celebrate a birthday.
3) That's going to be a problem since I will be of no help to him/her with algebra (or math of any sort for that matter). We need to go back to basics or my kid is going to be at Sylvan in 3rd grade.
4) We will be marching around the school in costume, yelling "It's Halloween Man!" that is.
5) This is no joking matter. If this ever happens I'm moving to Canada.
