What's up, Believe Nation? We're coming up on the end of the year, and we're gonna take you on what's become a bit of an annual tradition for us. We've got Hayden's cousins, Nina, Hayden, and the trio, and we're gonna take you on what we do every year around Christmas time and New Year. Every year this family does this to raise money for a hospital. You see Sick Kids, that's a hospital behind us. And, uh, I don't know what Nina just bought, but we're doing something for charity. What did you buy?
Milk and Milk and cookies.
This is new. So they, they, uh, take over the neighborhood. I don't know how happy the neighbors are about this every year to raise money for sick kids. What do you think of this place?
Nina, we're gonna make our condo like this?
No, no. Let's get all these lights in our condo.
Yeah, have people visit us.
Why not? Believe Nation can all come pay us a visit. Happy New Year! You can decorate.
Alright.
Let's see what's in the box. Oh, milk and a cookie. Wow. How are you going to split that milk and one cookie? Between 4 kids, a Nina, and a hungry Evan. That's a huge cookie. 5 golden rings.
Did you say thank you?
Did you say thank you?
Okay.
Okay, cheers everybody! Happy New Year! Mmm, it's actually pretty good. Cookies for New Year. Might be a new tradition. Look at this place, guys. It's crazy.
Crazy.
The effort, the love.
It's awesome.
Even the airplanes are taking flight paths over here to show off the place.
How's the milk, Hayden?
You gonna share it? No? Is that how we start the new year?
Sharing is caring.
I don't know if you want Hayden's backwash though.
Mimi, you want some? You want some? Hey!
Okay, everybody in Believe Nation, we all have a special message for you for New Year's. Hayden, what do you got?
You can do anything if you believe you can do it.
You can do anything if you believe you can do it? He totally took mine. Okay, what do you got, Catherine?
Uh, good deeds. What? Do good deeds and you get presents.
Do good deeds and you get presents, okay. Jeffrey, what do you got? Believe in Christmas. Leave Christmas with the DAP. Alright, Stephanie.
Stick to your New Year's resolution.
Stick to your New Year's— what's your New Year's resolution?
Probably to get more flexible.
Get more flexible? Can you touch your toes? That's pretty— that's not bad. I can't touch my toes, look.
That's it.
That's as far as I go. Actually, that's not bad. I'm pretty close.
Oh, I touched the DAP!
Happy New Year!
Okay, Nina, what do you got?
What's your New Year's— no, what's your message? Do something different.
Being good for the other person, like what they do.
Alright, yeah, okay, Nina, you gotta step up your game. We gotta do something like this next year. As for me, guys, it's been an awesome year. Just thinking back on everything that has happened, it's crazy. We hit 1 million subscribers, we got the new book out, brought on new people onto my team. The impact is growing, and just so blessed that I'm able to do this with you guys and continue on the journey. And seeing the comments come in, seeing the feedback from the book come in all the time, really fills me up. And so I promise you I'm gonna continue to push hard in 2018 and bring my best. I want to have a bigger impact, and if I play, you know, a half a percent or 1% in your growth, it makes me incredibly happy. And I hope that you pick up your game this year, that you do something big, something special. Nina's gonna do something big and special too. Thank you for all the love, all the support. Have an awesome end to your year. And that's it. Thank you guys for watching.
Continue to believe in whatever you want. Where is my child? Bye.
