One person a year dies from Christmas lights but how many die from bathtub falls and toasters? Ban toasters!
Toasters should not be allowed in the bathroom.
Deck the halls with lots of toasters, far ra ra ra ra ra ra ra.
***we once used candles on the Christmas trees.***
yep. They did.

If the Christmas lights have to go,it only makes sense that the Halloween lighting & other such must go too.
Mythbusters tv show tried and tried. They had so many lights on a dried out tree that you needed sunglasses to view it. They had to cheat to get it to light.

Kill every tradition.... How soviet of them.
I guess Underwriters Laboratory is just a bunch of ignorant ineffectives. Good thing we have the Electricity department of the CDC to protect us to a much safer level.
Sounds like the odds of a fire from Christmas lights is about the same as being struck by lightning, while holding a winning lottery ticket.
Well these are “proposed” so won’t be in effect until Christmas season 2015.
So stock up now, because this kind of federal “help” always means greatly increased costs.
I thought Congress was going to make August 4th "End of Ramadan and Baraq Hussein Obama Birthday"
Federal regulators say Bah, Humbug! to Christmas lights
Belated Nanny State PING!
Calm down, everybody! That's more than enough time to tell them to FOAD.
Merry Christmas!!! ;-)
