Tis the season for holiday cheer and family gathering, but the end of the year is also a time to look back and reflect on the year gone by. In that sense, it is also the season for the ulimate "best of" lists, and of all the lists hoping to capture the year in review, none tops TIME's Person of the Year.
Tradition dictates that TIME's editors choose the Person of the Year, but on its website TIME is asking you to weigh in by voting on candidates. The winner represents the person who influenced news most, for better or worse.
Last year Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg earned the title. This year, the nominees include everyone from Hermain Cain to Charlie Sheen to Casey Anthony.
So here are my top three:
3. Steve Jobs: It's clear that the technology revolution he launched will continue to grow and evolve, affecting generations to come.
2. SEAL Team 6: SEAL Team 6 prefers to operate in the dark, but it stepped into the limelight in May after its daring nighttime raid in Pakistan killed Osama bin Laden.
1. The 99%: On Sept. 17, about 2,000 people amassed on Wall Street to protest corporate greed and influence in government. The movement has since gone national, with rallies and "occupations" in dozens of cities across the U.S.
