    Lame title but eh.

    Basically, with the festive season upon us, are you drawn to making whatever devices you use in your daily lives suit the present time? For example, now that it's december, have you changed your phone wallpaper or desktop background into something that echos the holiday spirit? Do you find yourself using 'christmas' versions of android or iOS games?

    For the aspiring developers lurking out there in the wild, have you ever developed themed versions of projects you've worked on? Gave websites or desktop apps a bit of 'holiday cheer'?

    Of course, this doesn't have to apply to Christmas, either. For this past Halloween I found myself playing a 'scary' version of an android game that I adore, and continue to play it still.

    No~ope. I'm... not very festive. I will sometimes read themed stories/play themed games, and participate in themed events. That's it, really

    Meh. Christmas is nice, but really it's whatevs. No offense to the coder or designer, but I changed back to Chameleos from the (incredibly well-made) Halloween theme here right when the change rolled out.

    So yeah, no red and green wallpapers, no jingling bell ringtones, no none of that stuff for me. I decide my decoration, I don't let the calendar decide for me.

    The holidays are always great, it's nice to take a break but I can't say I celebrate it so much that I'd change anything. Honestly, there's so little difference between the seasons where I live that it's hard to tell it's December. So I think I'll keep everything the way it is. Besides, it's comfy when nothing changes, isn't it?

    No, I don't do that. I'm one of those people who prefer to stick to the same thing forever. I don't change anything when something like a holiday comes along. (honestly, sometimes I just grow tired of everything around them... I don't have to be reminded that it's almost Christmas every, like, ten minutes)

    Not in the slightest, unless it's for the sake of a really stupid joke. And those don't come around very often, if at all.

    There is only one holiday I ever really celebrate myself (that being Easter), and while those around me may choose to adopt a theme based on times of year, the themes I adopt I do so for other inclinations.

    25 December is a Friday, and not much else. The only downside to this approach is that most of my other friends go and spend time with their families, leaving my time having to be spent elsewhere, usually by myself - sadly.

    Same as many of those replying before me, I don't often change themes/backgrounds for my devices. However, I guess you could say my current phone background is festive, since it's a picture of a snowy mountain :)
