'Tis the season to use the most-hated phrase in seasonal journalism, "'Tis the season"!

'Tis also the season for end-of-year lists and honors, which means today's quiz practically wrote itself. Thanks, Wikipedia, Oxford, Pantone and Time!

This week also saw some George Santos antics, an atmospheric river, the anniversary of a childhood-scarring film, and some notable retirements. And bird news, of course.
