KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Greeting card giant Hallmark said Thursday that it shouldn't have changed the lyrics to "Deck the Halls" on a new holiday ornament that stirred a backlash from customers online.
The Kansas City, Mo.-based company has been defending itself after it began selling a miniaturized version of a tacky holiday sweater that changes the lyrics to the holiday carol. The ornament removes the word "gay" and emblazons the sweater with the phrase: "Don we now our FUN apparel!"

I wonder if they took a vote on this before deciding on this ornament? Can we all just agree that "back in the day"...gay meant....happy or fun, and leave it at that??
Probably this sweater wasn't the best choice to put on this ornament, actually.
