Welcome to #12daysofe360, we're glad you found us! It's time to take a break from working on your church website and take a look around the rest of your church office. We know the work is meaningful and usually we all love it. But occasionally, the situation is nothing other than ridiculous. Before you get back to your planning and working, take a second and let us know what you think of our "Twelve Days" of a Church Office Christmas. 

How many of these can you relate to?
