Christmas light wires are coated with lead, so make sure anyone who handles them washes their hands afterwards! :)
I'm a single mother of 3 small children - Pregnant w/the 3rd. I am a non-vaccinating (ask me why), breastfeeding, sling wearing, bed sharing, organic lovin, Dora watching (it's their fave), spanking when needed, stressed out mommy and I wouldn't trade it for a thing. <3

seriously? even the new ones?
Yeah, even the new ones. They have to have it on there to make the wires flexible I guess? Otherwise they would snap and cause fires.
This isn't exactly a new article, but it gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.
