Очень часто на рождественских открытках можно увидеть «HO HO HO».
Ho ho ho! — [həʊ: həʊ : həʊ] — хо-хо-хо.
Используется в следующих случаях:
1. Означает смех Санта Клауса. Выражение счастья и радости, приветствие и восклицание Деда Мороза.
Хо-хо-хо — Поздравляю всех со счастливым Рождеством!
Звучит это из уст Санты вот так:
2. Почта Канады использует символы HO-HO-HO в качестве почтового кода для писем, отправляемых Деду Морозу:
NORTH POLE
H0H 0H0
CANADA
3. Австралийский Санта говорит Ha Ha Ha.
Связано это с запретом говорить HO HO HO поскольку сленговое слово ‘ho’ означает — проститутка.
4. Используется в новогодних рождественских стишках и песенках.
