Craig Witte celebrates the quirky Boston tradition known as Allston Christmas, which unfolds every Labor Day weekend. As college students flood back into the city, especially the Allston neighborhood, sidewalks become lined with discarded furniture and household items, everything from lamps to Lazy Boy recliners.

For Witte, it's a visual feast and a treasure hunt rolled into one. Amid the chaos of move-in day, the streets transform into a landscape of forgotten couches, Ikea tables, and surprise finds. It’s a moment where the city’s energy, humor, and resourcefulness collide, and where a simple stroll might just lead to a secondhand gem and a cheerful “Happy Allston Christmas.”
