The First Christian Church at 455 W. Southmor Rd. in Morris was full of holiday cheer as Santa hosted his annual holiday party, An Evening with Santa.

Children from all around Grundy County arrived to get their face painted, make balloon animals and tell Santa what they want for Christmas.

The Morris Area Public Library also hosted a storytime and book raffle, where Pam Burton read “Merry Christmas, Splat” to the children.
