That's because this little Scrooge takes the phrase eating light to heart.
He is forsaking the typical fare of nuts and berries, he's stealing
Christmas lights.
Residents have caught the squirrel unscrewing the colored bulbs.
He carries them back to his nest and stores them presumably for his later
enjoyment.
