All the wonderful things that have happened this year. Let's celebrate them.

There’s no denying it’s been a truly terrible year: Bowie died, Brexit happened and Matty J had his heart broken on national television.

To top it all off there was that business with the creepy clowns, oh, and the Trumpocalypse.

It’s safe to say we all need some cheering up, so consider this a reminder that even on the darkest of days there’s always good in the world.

The sun comes up, babies are born and dogs, well, they’re dogs. DOGS.

So push Brangelina to that back of your mind. Here’s a list, in no particular order, of some of the things both big and small that have made us smile and hug and laugh and cheer and sing and dance in 2016.

And a couple of things we’re still looking forward to.

Like new undies and drinking coffee in bed and Prince George.
