If there’s anything to celebrate about 2020, it’ll be waving good-bye as the clock strikes midnight on December 31.

But, seriously. As hard as this year has been, there are bright spots to celebrate—surviving a pandemic, picking up a new hobby, connecting with friends and family in new ways—no matter how small or significant. Or at the very least, celebrate the fact that it’s over.
