Custom license plate lands Santa on naughty list

MONTGOMERY, AL – A custom license plate has landed an Alabama Santa on the naughty list.

Dave Reid, also known as Santa, was baffled when the license plate he'd displayed on his SUV for six years was suddenly deemed offensive when he tried to renew it this year.

The tag read "HO HO" and was on a specialty wildlife plate featuring a deer. The man who lives Christmas 365 days a year said it appealed to younger children who know him as "HO HO."

"I have a 1999 4Runner that across the back glass says 'My other ride is a sleigh' with a wildlife license plate that says HO HO," Reid explained. "How offensive is that? People drive by me on the interstate so everyone can wave and take a picture. Who is offended by that? It's ridiculous."
