The G.R.I.T.S. girls, red hat group celebrated Christmas in Hammond at Murphy's seafood restaurant with Christi Cashio as our hostess. She and her husband Danny made miniature Santa clauses to decorate our tables, and everyone present went home with one.
Our December birthday ladies were Sharyn Lobell, Edleana Wattigney, Jean Lulue, Ann Hingle, Sue Burch and Brenda Hayden. Sharyn Lobell led our prayer and blessing for our food. After lunch we played our ornament game with Dale Wattigney reading the Christmas story. Lorell Morris presented all members with a basket filled with goodies. The group presented her with two fun boxes with money flying out of them and a crown Christmas ornament.
