Grinch-like squirrels with hearts three sizes too small failed to steal Christmas from Braintree but the furry little fiends did gum up the towns tree-lighting festivities.
The yuletide buzz-killers managed to chew through wires on lights strung on four of the eight trees on the town hall mall.
But fear not, Braintree, said a defiant Mayor Joseph Sullivan: We will have Christmas lights on the town hall mall, despite the squirrels desire to thwart Christmas lights in Braintree.

We had a squirrel once who I suspect had some netheregion problems. He’d lay all spread out on the top of the kids’ metal swing set warming his, uh, stuff. Then he’d switch over and do the same on the cooler metal handrail on the porch. He did that daily for a couple years. It was rather disconcerting.

I suspect the communist environmentalists are to blame, forcing the use of "green" insulation made from soy products to replace the previously inedible plastic insulation.
It's always the damn commies.
