Graffiti Grinch

One of my many favorite aspects of living in the Mission is that hordes of businesses make the seasonal investment to paint their windows for the holidays.  Sure, it may seem trivial, but in a town where the season doesn't mean snow and frosty windows, but rather rain and mid-50s, it goes a long way.  So the other night as I made my way down 24th, this tag on Tonayense Taqueria's white Christmas tree caught me by surprise.  At first glance I dismissed it as douchy Ebenezer antics, but now I cannot help but find it funny. The tag isn't going to really hurt the property owner (the paint will be scrapped off the window in another week anyway), and who's to say that vandalism couldn't be an ornament anyway?  If Flava Flav can dangle a watch suffering from Elephantiasis around is neck, surely an Evergreen could support a tag suffering from the same disease.

Then again, maybe Santa Claus just fucked the tagger's mom.
