Friends & Countrymen, lend my thy ears! Hear-ye, hear-ye, as we find ourselves in the third and final installment of the Point of the Story’s reflection upon the shit-show that was the Year 2020. Now, if you missed the tribute to “The Before Times” from a few days ago, you can catch up here. Of course, don’t forget about the first 6 months of “The New Normal/These Uncertain Times.” You can find the tip o’ the hat to them here.
Now, onward as we “say farewell to the Year From Hell by taking a look back at one story from each of the last 12 months”! Whether it was an interesting read in its own right, or whether it captured the Zeitgeist of the moment–or, *gasp*, both–each of these tales were hand-selected by the editor especially for you, the busy Dear Reader.
So lay down, give up, and pour yourself a medium dosage of whatever sedative you can find laying around, because, admit it: that’s what all really should have done for the last 3 months of 2020…

December: All I Want For Festivus Is My Rightful Tech Fortune
In my book, 2020 was such an utter turd to us all that it didn’t deserve a Christmas. Instead, Christmas’ younger and much less handsome brother, Festivus, is much more on brand for the year that was 2020. Don’t know what Festivus is? Well, that’s what I’m here for, right? Join me, as I celebrate Festivus by picking a bone with one of my high school teachers from Festivuses long, long ago…
