In Boston, squirrels are gnawing around the Christmas trees
BOSTON — Voracious squirrels are going nuts for Christmas lights in Boston.
The Boston Globe reports (http://bit.ly/2hlW25q ) the furry rodents have chewed through electrical wires for the colorful, festive lights strung in trees on Boston Common.
City parks officials say they’ve received numerous reports about holiday light outages on the city’s online reporting app. One recent visitor noted nearly half the lights on the Common’s 47-foot Christmas tree were out, an issue the city says has since been addressed.
