The Newtown Bee wanted to know, “What is one good thing that happened in 2020?” And readers responded. Some were quick to note the election of President-Elect Joe Biden, Jr, while others named family moments, from births and marriages to spending more time with loved ones.

A new question will be posted weekly for the foreseeable future. Readers are encouraged to check facebook.com/thenewtownbee weekly for the latest post. Responses may be used in future coverage.

A list of some of the responses are below, not in a particular order.
