It's Best To Share A Good Laugh

A question came up at lunch today about why Santa and the Green Giant both say, "Ho, Ho, Ho"....and no one at our table had ever seen them in the same room together, so wondering if the Green Giant is Santa's alter ego....that would work, I think....one moment it's all candy canes and gingerbread people (PC) and, the next, peas and broccoli.....however I found the truth,

Let there be PEAS on earth and goodwill to all men :P
