Yay!

As Colbert said today: "It's the day after Halloween, so that means it's the beginning of Christmas."

Cool. I love Christmas!

But before we move on to Christmas, let's talk about how the scariest thing about Halloween was the the fact that more lead recalls were announced -- this time on fake teeth. (Earlier, I believe, children's Halloween skeleton pails were recalled.) And we all know about the endless toy recalls.

Fake Teeth Recalled for Too Much Lead

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hours before trick-or-treaters began going door to door, the government warned consumers Wednesday that fake Halloween teeth sold by the tens of thousands since last year contain excessive amounts of lead.

The $2 packages of "Ugly Teeth" are only the latest in a long line of Chinese-made toys and novelty items recalled because of lead. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall in a late-morning news release.

This also comes after a study found several popular lipsticks contain lead.

Let's see: what else can they recall before this issue really changes some legislation? Bathrobes? Toothbrushes or coffee cups? Golf clubs? Maybe machine guns will do it.

Rant over. Now, back to Christmas... how utterly exciting. I'd say, "I can't wait," but I like to season to last as long as possible. Fa la la la la...
