We can all agree that this year was pretty terrible. From the deaths of iconic stars to all of the election mayhem, it’s about time we bid adieu to 2016.

And the general internet community couldn’t agree more.

People are taking to Twitter to demonstrate just how much this year has taken a toll on them with a few creative side by side picture comparisons.

Enjoy some rough before/after pictures featuring A-list Jewish celebrities.
