Merry Christmas Eve to all who celebrate! As the holiday rush reaches its peak, grocery store workers are feeling the pressure from last-minute shoppers gathering last-minute ingredients for their holiday feasts.

For those in Giles county who do not have someone to spend it with, or can’t afford to buy a meal, there is still a way they can have a good Christmas.

It’s Christmas Eve and many of us are preparing or recovering from a traditional holiday meal, but for some, they might not be able to afford that meal or have no one to spend it with.

Cooking up a giant ham or turkey might not be as realistic for some -- especially if you live alone or with a roommate or spouse.

Tonight from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. you can call 540-267-3704 and speak to a dispatch elf. Today on 10 News at Noon, we will talk to NORAD as it tracks Santa’s journey. Gathering Place in Buena Vista is hosting a free drive-thru Christmas Dinner today, in an effort to bring hope to those going through hard times. The production is usually done live at the Berglund Center, but is not this year due to the pandemic. Enjoy can enjoy the lights one last time tomorrow night from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m at Ballou Park.
