Portland, OR —
Chris Roberts-Olsen, Supreme Allied Decorator for the Northeastern Front, has declared victory today over the forces of Grinchiness everywhere, bringing to an end nearly four weeks of feverish efforts.
“There will still be some minor wrap up operations, cleaning up a few hold-outs here and there,” said Sue Lauber, the Northeastern Regional Commandant. “But major decorating operations are now ended. We haven’t seen so much as a green Grinch hair since before Thanksgiving.”
Roberts-Olsen and Lauber are satisfied with their efforts this year, but they aren’t getting cocky. “We’re prepared for some additional setbacks. You never know when a string of lights could blink out,” Roberts-Olsen reported. “But it looks like everything will be a good to go before the weekend”, he said, referencing the traditional end to the fighting season.
Not everyone is as chipper as those two, however. “You people are ridiculous,” declared Shannon Corgill, a former Reservist recently called to active duty. “I better get a back rub out of this deal.”
