It’s easy to look at the past year and only see the negative impacts of the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic, but 2020 has given us a lot to be thankful for too.
Here are a few stories that brought us tremendous joy this year and gave us hope when we needed it most!
1. “Principal mom’s” embarrassing online school announcements had thousands cracking up.
“Just a reminder: Lunch today is whatever you make yourself,” Deb Plafker, a mom from Danville, California, said into her home’s announcement system in the early days of her kids’ remote learning. While her teenage son wasn’t nuts about her new (self-imposed) role of “principal mom,” even he agreed that her morning announcements were too funny not to share!
London s Cafe de Paris has announced it is closing its doors permanently after 95 years as an iconic caberet venue that hosted the like of Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland.
The venue in London s West End survived a direct hit during The Blitz, but it was finished off by the devastating effect of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It comes as a result of its parent company, Maxwell’s Restaurants, going into liquidation with the loss of a reported 400 jobs.
In a statement last night, the venue said: With a heavy heart, we can confirm that we will be shutting the doors of our beloved Cafe de Paris for good.
