Braintree mayor vows to save Christmas from squirrels

Grinch-like squirrels with hearts three sizes too small failed to steal Christmas from Braintree — but the furry little fiends did gum up the town’s 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.”

The ceremony was supposed to take place tomorrow, but when the lights were tested earlier this week, town officials learned the wires had been gnawed and some of the bulbs would not work.

1. "Terrorist Squirrels Monkeywrench Xtian Consumers"

Since no crime is too small to escape the gaze of Homeland Security, I assume their accounts have been frozen, PayFiend canceled, warrants issued, and all Abbey volumes cast from the library.

But I stand with the squirrels, as they have done more against global warming than a House full of Republicans. Arrrggg, if I only had learned to photoshop.

Too bad they got onto the operation so fast--and after we spent all that time training our 'War on Christmas' elite Squirrel Corps. :)
