Let’s be honest, 2020 has been a flaming pile of…well. You know.
BUT, there have been some good things here and there worth finding some joy over.
Thankfully, because everyone’s memory has been crap this year, Rolling Stone put together a list of “33 Moments That Made Us Smile In 2020.”
Here’s a few highlights.
