After a hard day of Christmas shopping and getting the last minute items, the Red Ginger buffet is a great place to get a recharge for the next round of Christmas activities.

Ricky, Jill, Asher and Cora Jones came all the way from Abingdon to check out the 2021 Elizabethton Christmas parade as they were counting down the days until Santa's arrival.
After a couple of months scouring for the perfect Christmas gifts, attending public and church Christmas activities, and just getting totally worn out from running from morning to evening, Christmas time is finally here.
With children being put to bed early on Christmas Eve in preparation for the arrival of Santa from the North Pole and families getting together to rip apart the wrapping from gifts carefully selected on Christmas morning, the holiday will be gone just as quickly as it arrived as children will spend hours playing with new toys while parents and grandparents can put their feet up and take a deep breath and thank Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick and God above for another blessed Christmas for their family.
