The Christmas Shoppe
Visit The Christmas Shoppe in person for seasonal holiday decor and warm small-town charm on Historic Carthage Square.
Brenda Young, along with her husband Parrish, purchased this business in 2025 in an effort to continue the tradition originally started by Danny and Judy Gillogly. The business had been a tradition in Carthage for 47 years, and Brenda’s love for the holiday season caused her to take a leap of faith and keep this holiday tradition alive and available for so many families and the community.
