Who gets the candy cane?

Ten years ago people awaited the new millennium, hording canned goods etc. thinking "the end is near". Later, when things turned out OK, cans were given to the food banks. In 7 hours the decade will be over.

Several days ago( Dec. 23)I listed who IMO received a lump of coal for Christmas. The ten worst things in the past decade.

Now I want you to send me who you think received a candy cane.

Who or what events in the past decade were good things and deserve the candy cane?
Send your list of positives to me and I will post them.
