As you know, it’s Christian Girl Autumn. It’s actually double Christian Girl Autumn, since the U.S. was in full lockdown mode for last year’s festivities. In any case, a very happy Christian Girl Autumn to all who celebrate.

You’re already well-versed in Christian Girl Autumn. So there’s only one question: How many of these classic Christian Girl Autumn things have you done to bring in the season?
