Carol Costello Vs Hallmark Oh Hallmark. You didnt. Oh, wait you did. Hallmarks Holiday Sweater ornament is decorated with Don we now our FUN apparel instead of Don we now our GAY apparel.Why? Hallmark says: When the lyrics to Deck the Halls were translated from Gaelic and published in English back in the 1800s, the word gay meant festive or merry, according to a statement released Wednesday. Today it has multiple meanings, which we thought could leave our intent open to misinterpretation. Homophobic? I say, yes you are. - CNN anchor Carol Costello, writing on her Facebook page.UPDATE: Hallmark has issued an apology. Weve been surprised at the wide range of reactions expressed about the change of lyrics on this ornament, and were sorry to have caused so much concern, the statement read. We never intend to offend or make political statements with our products and in hindsight, we realize we shouldnt have changed the lyrics on the ornament. But Hallmark spokeswoman Linda Odell said the company has no plans to stop selling the ornament. ift.tt/1hzsObp
