Well, Christmas normally have deer and mice here in America and in Europe. :)
Squirrels make sense for autumn, but here in America....people are too wound up for Haloween, and focus on cats and bats, rather than the harvesttime theme of Autumn-- where squirrels come in. :)

We can see the Japanese Yew (Ichii in Japanese ) trees in my hometown in Sakhalin as well. The fruit itself tastes sweet, but the seed does very bitter. Squirrels may be very busy now to prepare for the hibernation.
『イチイ』の木ですね。私の故郷、サハリンでも見る事ができます。果実は甘いが種はとても苦いです。リスは今時節、冬眠準備で忙しいでしょう。

子供の時にイチイの実を良く食べました。そういえば先月サハリンに一時帰国した時、道路横で森で採集したキノコをたくさん販売している人々を見ました。リスにも人間にも、日本語で言えば、『実りの秋』ですね。ロシア語のことわざにНазвался груздем, полезай в кузов. (Nazvalsya gruzdyem, polezaj v kuzov.)と言うがあります。キノコと名乗るなら、かごにはいれ。と、言う意味ですが『一度物事をはじめたなら、最後まできちんとせよ。』と言う表現です。獣画を描く度にこのことわざを自身に言っています。
