Merry Christmas to everyone on Newgrounds, even the ones that I don't like. I have to say that 2016 has been the worst year I have ever seen. Flint water crisis, refugees, Prince, Bowie, Alan Rickman, Gene Wilder, Muhammad Ali, Glenn Fry, and one of my favorites, Leonard Cohen all went to join the black parade, breakups, shitty semesters, miserable friends, pushing nice people away, and the alt-right take over. No wonder JibJab quit making year in reviews. Rush broke up. But hey, at least the Cubs won the world series.

However, having said that, we can always hope that things will get a little brighter some sunny day. And really, what else is there to do besides hope? You can't just give up and accept horrible situations. Nothing has ever been accomplished by sitting around accepting things. 

And on a side note, why is it that only good celebrities die? How come Ted Nugent and Kid Rock are still around, yet Leonard Cohen and David Bowie died? It seems like a rigged system to me.
