WATCH: Runaway deer rips Christmas lights off front of Massachusetts home

DOUGLAS, Mass. — Residents of one Massachusetts home had to redecorate for the holidays after a deer got hold of a large strand of Christmas lights and fled the scene.

Video shared with Boston 25 showed the deer sniffing around near an illuminated bush in front of a home in Douglas earlier this week.

The deer then appeared to get caught up in the strand and decided to bolt from the yard.

As the deer ran off, it tore the lights clear off a number of shrubs, leaving the lights strewn across the lawn.
