Christmas Crime 2016: Loud Music Lawsuit, Missing Baby Jesus And Light-Stealing Squirrel Plague Revelers

It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but there will always be drama between neighbors. Case in point: A New York City lawyer recently decided to sue the resident of a nearby home for playing Christmas music too loudly.

"It’s on from 7 a.m. to midnight," Nick Wilder said. "I like a Christmas song on Christmas Day. But I’m tired of hearing ‘Jingle Bells’ like 700 or 800 times a day."

Wilder said Lisa Maria Falcone, the wife of Harbinger Capital and Ligado Networks founder Philip Falcone, has been blaring holiday tunes at an unacceptable volume on 67th Street, according to the Post. He added that he wanted Falcone to "show some Christmas spirit by being considerate and stop annoying the entire neighborhood."

Meanwhile, at least one resident told CBS New York the music was "very soft."

Holiday hijinks are an annual tradition for some revelers, causing problems and giggles aplenty in the run-up to Dec. 25. This year is no exception.

In Manchester, New Hampshire, on Sunday, the owners of a lawn nativity set put up a sign notifying passers-by that they'd lost their Virgin Mary. "Please help! Mary missing," it read, according to WMUR. "Joseph doesn't want to be a single dad!"

In Salem, New Hampshire, police and public officials had to get involved last week when a local called in baby Jesus missing from their nativity scene, the Eagle-Tribune reported. "Baby Jesus is missing in action," deputy director of public works Dave Wholley said. "I don't know if we need to make him more theft proof or what, but we might need to consider strapping him down or something."

In Cabot, Arkansas, an inflatable Snoopy disappeared from the Sawyer family's yard last week. "Give it back or we'll punch you in the face," young neighbor Anna Youngblood told KARK.

And in Seattle, a squirrel stole more than 150 Christmas lights in 24 hours. The family that owns the decorations named him "the Bulb Bandit," Circa reported.
