Christmas Lights-Warning

[icouldhavelied.livejournal.com]

I know everyone is probably starting to get crafty and think about making things for the holidays(I made sponge balls last night and decorated candleholders for my mom, but have no camera!), but I just wanted to remind everyone, especially if you have kids or pets, that the strings of christmas lights have lead in them. I was recently made aware of this, but I guess there's now a warning on the new packages.
Just something to keep in mind when making stuff and decorating!
