Too late, I already have brain damage
Fact: Christmas lights are coated with lead, to help prevent fires.
Fact: Many of my family's tree ornaments were made in China in the 1980's.
Fact: While I was putting up ornaments and manhandling our lights, I was popping mints with my bare hands the entire time.
I am reminded of that Travelosity commercial where the gnome plugs the AC cord into the European wall socket.
"Am I going to die now?"
Answer: No, but I sure feel stupid.
(CNN had a great piece on this whole subject. "Christmas lights are coated in lead. Lead causes brain damage in children. Why the fuck are your kids handling electrical wires anyway?")
