I did a quick Google search and found several articles (including this thread) about nocturnal rodents chewing on Christmas light cords. One even "proved" it after disposing of dead perp (squirrel, not neighbor) and no more cut lights. So please believe it is a natural occurrence and reinstate your Christmas Spirit. The "vandals" were probably not vandals at all. One of the articles mentioned coating the wires with pepper spray to deter the rodents, but then there is the dilemma of how to roll them up to put them away without self injury. Yike. Anyway, have a Merry Christmas!
