“I think [“Allston Christmas”] is a fun way to think about it,” Liz Breadon, City Councilor for Allston-Brighton, said in an interview with Boston25. “When you have a huge number of people changing addresses on one day of the year, and they’re moving either into smaller apartments or they’re moving out, back home, out of state, they have a lot of stuff that they don’t need that’s perfectly serviceable.”
