Thanksgiving marks graduation day for many aspiring Kris Kringles. However, this year in Australia, Santa’s were warned not to use the traditional “Ho Ho Ho” greeting, as it has bad connotations in some communities and shows disrespect to women.

Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.
