December Luncheon


Another Christmas season has come and gone, and many of us are left with the sweetest memories in our hearts and minds. The ladies of the Monroeville Garden Club celebrated the season together with a Christmas luncheon and an afternoon of fellowship and fun.

Mrs. Jeanne Sewell hosted the meeting on December 19, 2018 at the Vanity Fair Country Club. She decorated each table beautifully with centerpieces of fresh greenery, pine cones, berries, and ornaments placed in Christmas tins, and also incorporated a red ceramic boot into the decor, a treasure painted by her late father years prior. Jeanne touched on the value of a grateful heart in any situation before delivering a beautiful blessing over the meal.

The delicious luncheon of mixed salad greens, smoked ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, and rolls was served buffet-style. Mrs. Jeanne did a wonderful job preparing the desserts and members enjoyed glazed wine cake and ultimate chocolate cake with coffee, tea and water to drink.

After the meal the ladies enjoyed an ornament swap, not-so-subtly disguised as a favorite game of Dirty Santa. It has been said that Christmas is so much more than a season, it is a feeling; May the wonderful feelings of Christmas fill all our hearts and be felt throughout the new year!
