The Friday Five for 24 December 2010...

[ariestess]

This week's questions are brought to you courtesy of aidenicephoenix, the letter F, and the number 5...


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

1. Do you celebrate the religious aspect of Christmas or the commercial aspect of Christmas?


2. What's your favorite activity to celebrate the holidays? (i.e. baking goodings, making ornaments, etc.)


3. Would you rather give or receive?


4. What is the gift you are most anxious to give this holiday season and who is it for? What makes is so special?


5. What is the most memorable gift you have ever gotten for Christmas? Why did it stand out more compared to other ones?

I hope this will not be taken as "petty," but since there are people who celebrate neither the religious nor secular aspects of Christmas, I think these questions are a bit narrowly phrased. That might be something to keep in mind for writers of future questions, if they wish the questions to be applicable to a broader set of DW users.

You are right that there are people who celebrate neither. I did take that into consideration when choosing the question set for this week, but chose to do this particular question set for the people who do celebrate the season.

The mods do our best to select question sets each week that will appeal to as broad an audience as possible across both LiveJournal and Dreamwidth, but we also know that no single set will appeal to everyone. We do our best to be as inclusive as possible in all question sets.

Because of our policy of not changing the question sets from how they're submitted, I did not make changes to this one to a broader holiday season theme, tho the questions can certainly be answered in that way. Personally, I celebrate Yule, and when I do this question set, I'm going to be making the appropriate changes to the questions.

I realize you guys don't edit; I just thought it might be something to consider for future question-writers. I can think of a few ways to broaden this one without excluding people who celebrate Christmas pretty easily. :-)
