Default Christmas Cards are a FIRE HAZZARD

No problemo, I can get you all of the counterfeit UL seal you want straight
from China. They are especially nice looking on household extension cords.
They make such a lovely shade of dancing + yellow when they burn then set
fire to your X-mas tree. Gosh you are right, better keep those X-mas cards
in a metal explosion proof chemical locker.

WARNING

Christmas Cards are a serious FIRE HAZZARD.

It's recommended that you do not send any Christmas Cards, unless they
have been treated with an approved fire retardent material, and the
cards have the U.L. sticker on them. If you receive Christmas cards
in the mail, DO NOT bring them into your home. Check them outdoors to
see if they have the U.L. sticker on them. If not, dispose of them in
a fireproof metal trash container immediately.

Christmas cards are made from a flammable material known as paper.
According to MSDS fact sheets, paper is classified as a highly
flammable material. Do not allow this material in your home unless
it's been treated with a flame-proof substance.

If you must bring one of these non-flame treated cards inside your
home, place them inside a solid metal fireproof container and keep
away from heat and flame. Do not remove the card from this box inside
the home at any time. Take the container outdoors in an area that
does not contain any flammable materials before opening the container.
