The Morning: Holiday games and music

Plus, Gaza, Ukraine and boygenius.

View in browser|nytimes.com Continue reading the main story December 25, 2023 By David Leonhardt Good morning. We offer a selection of games and music for the holiday — as well as coverage of Gaza, Ukraine and boygenius. Fiordaliso/Getty Images A day to play My colleagues and I thought today would be a good day to remind you of some recent Times games — as well as an all-time classic — that you can play on your own or with friends and family. We'll start with our recent Faces quiz, in which we asked you to identify 52 people who made news in 2023. We are adding a bonus in today's newsletter. At the end of the Faces quiz, we asked players to name somebody who they thought should have been included on our list and was not. Below are the 12 most frequently mentioned people. We provide an answer key, with their names, at the bottom of today's newsletter. The New York Times The New York Times The New York Times If you can't get enough Faces, the 2022 and 2021 versions are still available. We also recommend you try this holiday-themed version of Flashback, The Times's history quiz. It includes Stonehenge, holly, Rudolph and Mariah Carey. Both today's Connections game and the Mini have holiday themes, too. And if you haven't yet tried the Kiki-Bouba game, it's quick and fun. As for that all-time classic: Many people are spending today with a geographically diverse mix of relatives or friends. Such a gathering can be a great place to take The Times's dialect quiz, released 10 years ago, and see what it tells you about the roots of your own speech pattern. The quiz remains one of the most widely read pieces of Times journalism in our long history. We have since developed a dialect quiz for Britain and Ireland, too. Finally, I have a music recommendation, whether you're spending the day celebrating Christmas, relaxing or working. My personal soundtrack during this time of year is the re-imagination of Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker Suite" by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. It's a delightful background music for any activity today. You can listen to a performance by the Eric Felten Jazz Orchestra on Apple Music, Spotify or YouTube. (The Ellington-Strayhorn Nutcracker starts with the sixth track, titled "Introduction.") And here's a recent Times article by Hugh Morris on other re-imaginations of "The Nutcracker." Whatever you're doing, I hope you enjoy the day. Programming note: This week, we will be using The Morning to highlight The Times's best journalism of 2023, especially work that we think is worth revisiting. As always, The Morning will also provide you with a summary of the day's news and links to full Times coverage.
