And I know that in other parts of the world
7

2670
00:21
some of you say Happy Christmas instead of Merry Christmas.

33240
2810
00:36

13
36050
2600
00:38
and Jen is having a little nap
14
38650
2230
00:40

So this time of year, one of the things
19
49360
3150
00:52
that I like to think about and one of the things
20
52510
2710
00:55
that I wish for is that everyone in the world
21
55220
3690
00:58
would be a little more kind to each other.
22
58910
2150

So I hope as we go through the end of this year,
23

01:04
as we head towards December 31st and as we head
24
64890

25
68690

71510
1760
01:13
I just wanna communicate to you some positive energy,
27
73270
4670
01:17
just an encouragement to be nice to each other,
28
77940
3380
01:21
to help make the world a better place
29
81320
2290
01:23
by just being as helpful as you can be
30
83610
2660
01:26
to the people around you.
31
86270
2060
01:28
That's all I ask for.
32
88330
1150
01:29
That would be the wish I would give
33
89480
1930
01:31
for this Christmas season.
34
91410
1500
01:32
And if I asked for one gift, it would be that everyone
35
92910
3240
01:36
in the world was just a little more kind to each other.
