Dear Portland Mercury Writers, I have been known to criticize others decorating taste in my day, but I feel that you've gone too far with this article. Critiquing a neighborhood's camaraderie as if it's a work of art in the MOMA isn't what the holidays are about. Think of what it must be like to be 7 years old and live in that neighborhood? I bet it's fantastic! Not for the Mercury writers though...when did you become so jaded? This article isn't witty or thought provoking, what is your intention? I sure hope these families don't read this stupid article. Here is a group of people who does something for the greater good, and I wouldn't want their spirits foiled because of a bunch of twenty something know it alls. Merry Christmas Portland Mercury, I hope that 2011 is better for you, it seems like you need some cheer.
