Hello Everyone!
My name is Madi! I blog over at Madison Custer (yes, I need a better, more creative name- ha!). My blog is about mission prep, lifestyle, sometimes beauty, sometimes fashion... you name it, I've probably written about it.
Halee and I teamed up this month to write about Christmas. I love (LOVE) Christmas! It is most definitely my favorite holiday, and not just because it's nine days after my birthday. I love Christmas because I feel like it's the one holiday that brings people closer together. Of course, we stand close to other people when we're standing in those horribly long lines to buy our gifts, but that's not what I'm talking about. Christmas has a way of bring people from all over the world together through one simple holiday.
This year, mormon.org did it again. Their Christmas website is the best I've seen since, well, last year! I am in love with the new "A Savior is Born" video.

I will admit, at first I thought it was a little corny, but then I realized I was looking at it all wrong. I was looking at the kids as actors, not as the silly and fun kids they are. Obviously, I'm sure there was at least a little bit of casting that went into this, and the kids weren't just pulled off the street, but they are just kids. All these kids were brought together in this video from all different corners of the earth through the power and love of Jesus Christ.
Well, this made me think. I'm a kid, just like the ones in this video. And while I'm not able to fly across the globe to video lots of people, I can do my best to bring people together in my school and community. I've given myself the goal this season to be a better peacemaker and team builder in my school and sports team. I hope you can set yourself a goal this season to be a little better and become a little more Christlike. I hope you all have a wonderful season, and Merry Christmas!

Madi
