Not a Squirrel in the Xmas Tree

We do a lot of holiday decorating for towns and retail plazas. Last year we got a call back because the top of one of our 24-ft.-high Christmas trees wasn’t lighting. We found that someone had inadvertently unplugged the tree top because they were using the inside of the tree for shelter, as the lights kept it warmer in there than outside.
