As the world says goodbye to 2020, there will be countdowns and live performances, but no massed jubilant crowds in traditional gathering spots like the Champs Elysees in Paris and New York City’s Times Square this New Year’s Eve. The virus that ruined 2020 has led to cancelations of most fireworks displays and public events in favor of made-for-TV-only moments in party spots like London and Rio de Janeiro.

Gabriel Rivett-Carnac and his wife Lyn Elliott help their son Ren, 19 months, open up his stocking in their home in Ottawa, seen through a video call on Christmas Day, Friday, Dec. 25, 2020. The family would normally be gathered at Elliot’s parents, on the North Channel of Lake Huron. “We had some family stop by our patio to exchange gifts with masks on. In a weird way, it feels good we get to have a first Christmas with just the three of us. Without COVID, it probably wouldn’t have happened for a while,” said Rivett-Carnac.
