Welcome! This is post 1. To kick off this blog, here’s a bit about me and the purpose of this blog! I’m Christina and I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That being said, I am in no way an official representative of the church, so don’t take what I […]
11 Things to Do If Your Christmas Spirit is Lacking
