When The Clock Strikes Family New Year Tradition

When The Clock Strikes Family New Year Tradition

When the clock strikes midnight, the noise fades, the year turns, and what matters most comes into focus—family. In this special We Are the Hansons New Year episode, we invite you into our home to share the traditions that carry us from one year into the next. From gathering around a good meal and endless snacks to laughter-filled games, late-night conversations, and welcoming every family member who walks through our door, this episode is about togetherness in its purest form.

We reflect on why these moments matter, how traditions anchor our family through chaos and change, and why starting a new year surrounded by the people you love sets the tone for everything ahead. It’s honest, heartfelt, and a reminder that no matter how loud, messy, or imperfect life gets—family is worth celebrating.

Pull up a chair, grab a snack, and ring in the new year with us.

00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:10.800
Every year, right before midnight, there's this moment where I

2
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:15.519
stop and look around the room. Someone's laughing too loud,

3
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:24.359
someone's sneaking one last snack, thinking I don't notice. There's

4
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.039
a board game half finished on the table with pieces

5
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:33.880
scattered everywhere, and at least one kid who should have

6
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.719
been asleep two hours ago, curled up on the couch

7
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.960
fighting to keep their eyes open. And I think to myself,

8
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:51.719
this this is the moment, not the countdown, not the fireworks,

9
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:59.119
or the resolutions or the champagne toast, just family together

10
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.920
welcoming a brand new year in the only way we

11
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:12.040
know how, loud, messy and full of love. Because years

12
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:16.879
from now they won't remember what we ate, they won't

13
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.359
remember who won the game, but they'll remember this feeling,

14
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:28.040
the warmth, the laughter, the safety of being exactly where

15
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:34.959
they belong. This is We are the Hansens. Welcome back

16
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:40.000
to We Are the Hansens. I'm Maya Hanson. In today's episode,

17
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.519
this one's special. We're talking about something that means everything

18
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:51.640
to us. New Year's Eve, family gatherings, the traditions we've built,

19
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.040
the meals that simmer all afternoon, the snacks that disappear

20
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.680
faster than you can refill them. The game aims the noise,

21
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.439
the quiet moments tucked between all the chaos, and the people,

22
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.000
the people who choose to spend that night with us.

23
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:17.199
Because in our house, New Year's isn't about perfection. It's

24
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.400
about presence. It's about looking back at the year we

25
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:26.159
survived and looking forward to the one word walking into together.

26
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.439
So grab a cup of coffee or maybe something warmer,

27
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.879
settle in, and come spend New Year's Eve with our family.

28
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.439
New Year's Eve has always felt different to me than

29
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.919
any other holiday. There's no pressure to make it magical

30
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.080
because the magic is already there. It's not about gifts

31
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:55.000
or decorations or elaborate plans. It's quieter than that, deeper.

32
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.000
It's about closing one chapter and opening another together. It's

33
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.840
about saying, this year wasn't easy, but look we're still standing.

34
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:12.280
And when your family is big, loud, blended and beautifully

35
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:19.319
imperfect like ours, that togetherness matters more than anything. Because

36
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.879
time moves fast, faster than you ever think it will.

37
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.599
Kids grow, They change their voices, deepen or soften, their

38
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.719
interest shifts. One day, they're asking you to tie their shoes,

39
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.319
and the next they're making plans you're not invited to.

40
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:45.599
Life changes too, jobs come and go, season shift struggles

41
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:53.240
surface and hopefully fade. But this night, this one stays

42
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:59.039
the same every year, no matter what's happened, no matter

43
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:04.159
how hard they have been. We gather, we cook, we eat,

44
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.599
we laugh, we play games that get way too competitive,

45
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:15.360
and at midnight, when the year officially turns over, we hug,

46
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:20.600
we cheer, we hold each other a little tighter because

47
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.639
in that moment we're reminded of something we sometimes forget

48
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.519
in the chaos of everyday life. We have each other,

49
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:36.160
and that's enough, more than enough. The day of New

50
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:42.600
Year's Eve always starts slow in our house. There's no rush,

51
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:48.879
no frantic energy, just this quiet hum of anticipation. By

52
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.480
late morning, I'm in the kitchen, coffee in hand, still

53
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.720
in my comfortable clothes, making a mental checklist of everything

54
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:01.399
that needs to happen before people arrive. And let me

55
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.600
be honest, I'm not one of those people who has

56
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.519
it all perfectly planned out weeks in advance. I know

57
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.360
what we're doing, I know the vibe I want to create,

58
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:21.160
but the details those happen in real time. By early afternoon,

59
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:25.879
the house starts to shift. The kids sense something's coming.

60
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.319
They wander into the kitchen, asking what we're making, when

61
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.680
people are arriving, whether they can set up the game

62
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.639
table early. And I love that energy because it's not

63
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.399
just me preparing for the night, it's all of us.

64
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.879
Someone's setting out bowls and plates, someone else is rearranging

65
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:55.040
furniture to make more space. Someone's inevitably taste testing things

66
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.680
they shouldn't be touching yet in the kitchen, the kitchen

67
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:06.680
come command central. There's always something simmering, something roasting, something

68
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.720
that smells so good you can't help but drift back

69
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.279
towards the snow of every few minutes. And people do

70
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.879
they drift in, They ask when things will be ready.

71
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.040
They linger at the counter, talking while I chop, stir

72
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:28.160
or season. Because that's the thing about cooking in our house.

73
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:34.160
It's never solitary. The kitchen is where stories get told,

74
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:40.439
where updates get shared, where someone inevitably starts laughing so

75
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.120
hard they can barely finish their sentence. And by the

76
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:49.199
time the sun starts to set, by the time the

77
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:54.680
first car pulls up outside, the house already feels full,

78
00:06:54.879 --> 00:07:00.240
not just with food, but with life, with warmth, with anticipation,

79
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.959
with the promise of what the night will bring. There's

80
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.560
this moment right when people start arriving, where the energy

81
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:15.000
completely shifts. Doors open, coats pile up on the bed

82
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.720
in the guest room, Voices overlap, footsteps echo from every direction.

83
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.759
Kids run in, greet each other like they haven't seen

84
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.480
their cousins in years, even though it's been like two weeks.

85
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.160
Adults hug someone's carrying a dish they made. Someone else

86
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:37.319
is holding a bag of snacks or a bottle of

87
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:42.360
something bubbly, And suddenly the house isn't just ours anymore.

88
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:47.920
It belongs to everyone. There's this beautiful chaos that settles

89
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:53.839
in conversations happening in three different rooms, laughter spilling out

90
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.720
from the living room, someone asking where to plug something in,

91
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:02.519
someone else already rating the snack table before dinner's even ready.

92
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.240
And I stand there for just a second in the

93
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.639
middle of it all, and I breathe it in, because

94
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.120
this this is what I wait for all year, not

95
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:23.560
the perfection. The noise, the beautiful, messy, wonderful noise of

96
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:29.720
people we love, filling every corner of our home. By

97
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:34.799
the time everyone's settled in the house feels alive. There's

98
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:39.480
a hum, a rhythm. People drift from room to room,

99
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:44.600
Kids disappear into the bedroom to play, Adults gather in

100
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.440
the kitchen or living room catching up on life, and

101
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:53.120
there's this unspoken understanding that tonight we don't have to

102
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:57.679
be anywhere else, we don't have to rush. We're exactly

103
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:02.879
where we're supposed to be. Someone's asking when we're eating,

104
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.679
someone else starts setting up a game table. There's always

105
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:13.399
someone starts telling a story that makes everyone stop and listen,

106
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:20.120
because that's what family does. We share the big moments

107
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:25.120
and the small ones, the funny stories and the meaningful ones,

108
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.279
the updates on life, and the random thoughts that pop

109
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:34.919
into our heads. And it all matters, every single bit

110
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:40.360
of it. Let's talk about the food, because if you

111
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:45.120
know anything about our family, you know food is serious business,

112
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:49.799
not in a fancy, over the top way, but in

113
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:54.279
a meaningful way. Food is how we show love, how

114
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.080
we gather, how we create space for people to relax

115
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:04.159
and just be. Our New Year's meal is never fancy,

116
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.879
no five course spreads, no complicated recipes that require three

117
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.320
days of prep. It's comforting. Filling, made to be eaten

118
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:21.440
in conversation, not in silence. We usually have a main dish,

119
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.519
something warm and hearty that can sit on the stove

120
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:30.720
and stay ready, while people grace sides that feel like home,

121
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:37.759
bread that's still warm, maybe a salad if we're feeling ambitious.

122
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:44.519
But honestly, people don't comfort or mat cuisines. They come

123
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.440
for the feeling, the feeling of gathering around food that

124
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.279
was made with them in mind, food that says I'm

125
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.000
glad you're here. And the way we eat on New

126
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:03.159
Year's it's relaxed, no assigned in seats, no formal dinner time.

127
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.480
People drift in and out of the kitchen. Plates are filled,

128
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:13.320
set down, picked back up. Conversations overlap. Someone's always going

129
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:19.240
back for seconds, someone's always sneaking bites off someone else's plate,

130
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.440
And there's something so beautiful about that, because it's not

131
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.000
about the meal being perfect. It's about the meal being shared.

132
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.320
It's about sitting down or standing up next to people

133
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.240
you love and talking about everything and nothing while you eat.

134
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.519
It's about the kid who finally tries something new and

135
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.799
actually likes it. The uncle who tells the same story

136
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.639
every year, and everyone still laughs, the quiet moment where

137
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:56.039
you catch someone's eyes crossing the table and just smile

138
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:02.120
because you both know this is it, This is what matters.

139
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.039
Once everyone's eaten, once plates are cleared and the kitchen's

140
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.440
a little quieter, the games come out. And let me

141
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.759
tell you, this is where things get real. Because my family,

142
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:22.759
we're competitive, not in a mean way, but in a

143
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.279
I'm absolutely going to win this and you can't stop

144
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:32.440
me kind of way. Card games, board games, charades that

145
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:38.559
get way too dramatic. Someone always takes it too seriously,

146
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:45.360
someone else pretends not to care but absolutely does, and

147
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:50.600
someone usually one of the kids, finds a loophole in

148
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:55.480
the rules that technically isn't cheating but kind of is,

149
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.279
and we let it slide because games aren't really about winning.

150
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:05.440
They're about connection. They're about the laughter that erupts when

151
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.919
someone makes a ridiculous move, the trash talk that gets

152
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.840
slung across the table, the moments where everyone's so focused

153
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:22.120
on the game that nothing else exists, no phones, no distractions,

154
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:31.519
just us, fully present, fully engaged. And that's rare in

155
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.600
everyday life. It's hard to get everyone in the same

156
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:38.039
room at the same time, all paying attention to the

157
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:43.360
same thing. But on New Year's Eve, it happens naturally

158
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.039
because the games create space for it. They give us

159
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.559
permission to be silly, to be loud, to be competitive

160
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.440
in ways that don't matter, but somehow still feel important.

161
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:01.799
And in between rounds, in the quiet moments where someone's

162
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:07.159
shuffling cards or setting up the next game, that's when

163
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:12.200
the real conversations happen. Someone shares something they've been thinking about.

164
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.120
Someone asks a question that leads to a story. Someone

165
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:21.200
makes a joke that becomes an inside reference for years

166
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:26.240
to come, and before you know it, hours have passed.

167
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:32.960
The room's a mess, game pieces everywhere, snack wrappers scattered

168
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:39.279
across the table, but nobody cares because we're together, and

169
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.639
that's the whole point. As midnight gets closer, the energy

170
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:50.840
in this house shifts again. Things slow down, the laughter softens,

171
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:56.559
the room feels heavier, not in a bad way, in

172
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:02.399
a meaningful way. People start reflect talking about the year

173
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:08.639
that's ending, what it brought, what it took, what they learned.

174
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:15.840
And there's something sacred about those conversations because we're not

175
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:21.360
talking about resolutions or goals. We're talking about life, the

176
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:26.320
hard parts the beautiful parts and the parts we don't

177
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:33.879
see coming, and everyone listens, really listens, because that's what

178
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:38.799
this night is for. It's for acknowledging where we've been

179
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.759
and where we're going. But even if the year ahead

180
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:49.039
feels uncertain, even if the year ahead feels uncertain, even

181
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.840
if we don't know what's coming, there's comfort in knowing

182
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:57.480
we're not walking into it alone. By the time the

183
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:03.080
clock hits eleven fifty, the kids are getting restless, someone's

184
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.679
setting up their phone to watch the ball drop. Someone

185
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:12.480
else is pouring sparkling cider into mismatched cups, and there's

186
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:16.879
this quiet buzz of anticipation because even though we've done

187
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:20.679
this a hundred times, even though we know exactly what's

188
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:25.240
going to happen, it still feels special, it still feels new.

189
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.519
As the final minutes tick down, we all gather in

190
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:35.080
the living room, in the kitchen, wherever we are, we

191
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:40.240
come together, and when the countdown starts, when the voices

192
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:46.240
start shouting numbers in unison, there's this electricity in the air.

193
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:53.799
Kids bouncing, adults smiling, everyone holding their breath just a little,

194
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.840
and suddenly they're cheering hugs that last to beat longer

195
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:04.920
than than usual, smiles that light up the room, phones

196
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:09.839
come out, texts gets sent. Someone misses the countdown because

197
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:14.880
they were in the bathroom, but celebrates anyway, And for

198
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:21.640
just one moment, everything feels right, not perfect, but right,

199
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:28.480
because we're here together, starting a brand new year the

200
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:31.839
only way we know how, surrounded by the people who

201
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:38.039
matter most. Now, there's one tradition that makes New Year's

202
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:43.359
feel complete in our home, oyster stew. I know, I

203
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:51.160
know it's not for everyone, but for us, it's everything warm, simple,

204
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.519
comforting in a way that's hard to explain. It's the

205
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:01.000
kind of dish that's been passed down through generations, not

206
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:06.480
because it's fancy, but because it's familiar, because it tastes

207
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:11.799
like home, like history, like every New Year that came

208
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:16.599
before this one, and every year, without fail, we make it.

209
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.559
Here's how we do it, hands and family, oyster stew.

210
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:28.440
You'll need two pints of fresh oysters with their liquid.

211
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:34.480
Don't throw that out, you need it. Four tablespoons of butter,

212
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:40.559
four cups of whole milk, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.

213
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.559
A pinch of cayenne pepper optional, but it adds a

214
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:52.960
subtle warmth, and oyster crackers or crusty bread for serving. First,

215
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.960
melt the butter in a heavy pan over medium heat.

216
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:02.440
Let it get warm and fragrant. You're building that rich,

217
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:08.920
golden foundation. Add your oysters along with that beautiful liquid

218
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:15.000
from the jar. Stir them gently and watch. You'll know

219
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:19.559
they're done when the edges start to curl. That's your cue.

220
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:25.799
Lower the heat, this is important, and slowly stir in

221
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:29.839
your milk, season with salt and pepper and a pinch

222
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:35.359
of cayenne if you're feeling bold, and here's the key,

223
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:39.960
never let it boil. If it boils, the milk can

224
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:45.519
separate and the oysters get tough. You want it hot, steaming,

225
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:51.599
but not bubbling. Once everything's combined and heated, you're done.

226
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:57.240
Ladle it into bowls, serve it with oyster crackers or

227
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:03.720
warm crusty bread, and enjoy it slowly. Because this isn't

228
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:10.119
just stew. It's tradition. It's memory. It's every New year

229
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:13.240
before this one and every new years still to come,

230
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:19.160
served one warm, comforting bowl at a time. As the

231
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:23.240
night winds down, as kids start falling asleep on couches

232
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:27.640
and adults linger over the last of the coffee. I

233
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:31.319
always find myself thinking the same thing. This is what

234
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:38.119
life's about. Not the big, flashy moments, not the highlight reel,

235
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:45.799
but this the quiet chaos, the messy kitchen, the laughter

236
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:50.519
that still echoes even after everyone's gone home, The feeling

237
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:54.400
of being surrounded by people who know you, really know you,

238
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:59.880
and choose to show up anyway because that's what family.

239
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:06.759
It's showing up year after year, no matter what, and

240
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:13.359
building traditions, simple, meaningful traditions that remind us who we

241
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:18.720
are and what we value for us. New Year's isn't

242
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:23.680
about resolutions or fresh starts. It's about saying, we made

243
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:27.960
it through another year and we're still here, and that's

244
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:32.640
worth celebrating. As this new year begins, I hope you

245
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:36.319
remember that traditions don't have to be loud or perfect.

246
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:40.799
They just have to be real. A shared meal, a

247
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:43.920
room full of people you love, a moment where you

248
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.839
stop and realize you're exactly where you're supposed to be.

249
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.359
From our family to yours, thank you for spending your

250
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:54.680
New Year with We are the Hansons. I'm Maya Hansen.

251
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:59.440
Until next time, hold your people close and never underestimate

252
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:00.599
the power of gathering,
