Santa's famous "Ho, Ho, Ho!" refers to his deep belly laugh.
"It is the sound he makes when he laughs. It was originally HAHAHA instead of HOHOHO. Santa is considered a jolly man saying HO...HO...Ho!"

My further question is who first had Santa say, "Ho ho ho!" and when? Could "ho" originally have had a meaning beyond just expressing a jolly laugh, since he is also considered Saint Nick? Could "ho, ho ho!" be a short version of what The Bible in the book of Revelations writes the heavenly creatures say, "Holy, holy, holy"?

Interesing question. However, I can answer it. The true reason was unknown until 1966, when he was so happy about England wining the FIFA World Cup that when he was on his first Christmas Eve stop at Paul McCartney's home, he told him all about it. Dispite telling his workers not to speak of the reason, they gave us a comfirmation the following year. The true reason for Santa saying "Ho" is...

He grew up in Germany
