Why do squirrels hate Christmas?

It seems like squirrels have disrupted a Christmas charity celebration in Bath, England, costing the sponsoring organization a lot of money.

According to the Bath Chronicle newspaper, squirrels destroyed 2,000 Christmas lights on the fundraising Tree of Lights of the Rotary Club of Bath, costing the club £1,000 ($1,500). Is there any question why squirrels hate Christmas? They are clearly jealous of all the trees being cut down and all the nuts being consumed by people instead of them.

And who can forget the classic scene in “Christmas Vacation” when a rabid squirrel enters the Griswold’s home on Christmas and then attacks Clark and his family.
