Staff Writers The best places in Elizabethtown to buy your last minute holiday gifts. By: Kacy Hartmann and Emma Creason Staff Writers December is a month filled with holidays galore.

By: Anna DeGoede Editor In Chief Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but the “holiday” many people eagerly await falls the day after: Black Friday. Or should we call it Black Thursday, Friday, and Monday?

Stores across the nation announce their sales with great fanfare, encouraging consumers to shop to their hearts’ content.
