Wow, 2020 has been a lot. But many of us have learned to appreciate much of what our lives have to offer over the last year.

Maybe it’s quality time with the family or having more time to bake. Have you gotten the chance to connect with neighbors or learned a new skill? Maybe you finally gotten Grandma to learn how to Zoom.

Whatever it is you’ve learned to appreciate, we want to give you a chance to shout it across the Chicago area on our NBC 5 New Year’s Eve show.

Film yourself saying the phrase “In 2020 I learned to appreciate…” and then respond with your answer. Submit the video below and we may include you in our New Year’s Eve special.

Question: WHAT IS SOMETHING 2020 HAS MADE YOU APPRECIATE?

  • FILM IN LANDSCAPE (With the phone sideways/horizontal).
