It’s the unofficial last day of summer here at The 300s headquarters. We’re heading into Labor Day weekend, and with August 31st/September 1st falling on Saturday/Sunday, Boston is gearing up for a brutal eventful Allston Christmas.

In case you’re not from the area, or didn’t go to school in Boston, Allston Christmas is the time of year when tens of thousands of college students return to the city, Allston in particular. It’s also a moving day for a good number of the young professionals who rent apartments in God’s Country. I mean Allston.

This year, Harpoon has even introduced a new brew to celebrate the holiday.

Season’s greetings.⁣

We’re doing our part here at The 300s, too. As the poet laureate of The 300s, please allow me to present Have Yourself a Merry Allston Christmas.

Have yourself a merry Allston Christmas
Let your move be light
From now on our UHauls will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry Allston Christmas
Don’t get storrowed today
From now on our UHauls will be miles away

Here we are in our Allston days
Like our college days of yore
Craigslist friends who are dear to us
May their rent checks clear once more

Through this year we’ll always be together
In our two-bed split
Snag a brand new couch from the curb below
And have yourself a merry Allston Christmas now

Craigslist friends who are dear to us
May their rent checks clear once more

Through this year we’ll always be together
In our two-bed split
So snag a brand new couch from the curb below
And have yourself a merry Allston Christmas now

If we can get Michael Buble to record this, I really think it’ll take off.

Safe travels and move-ins this weekend everybody!
