celebration

Basis for celebration

Record the candidate activity, who calls it a celebration and the basis for that interpretation; a label alone does not settle its experienced character.

1. What activity constitutes the joyous diversion in this instance? definition
2. Whose account or observation supports calling it joyous, and when was that evidence obtained? provenance
3. If joy was intended but not experienced, should this remain an attempted celebration or qualify as a celebration under the registry definition? boundary

Occasion and activity boundary

Record any celebratory focus separately from the diversion itself, and locate celebratory portions within mixed ceremonies or recreational activities.

1. Is anything specifically being celebrated, or is the diversion spontaneous and without a stated focus? definition
2. Which portions involve joyous diversion, and which are solemn remembrance, formal recognition or other adjacent activities? boundary

Willing participation

Distinguish invitation, attendance and willingness to perform particular festive acts; being present does not imply agreement to each act.

1. Who wants to participate, observe, participate remotely or decline? action
2. Can someone decline a toast, dance, gift exchange or other activity without losing access to the rest of the celebration? action

Uneven and changing enjoyment

Record enjoyment with its reporter and time, retaining mixed responses and uncertainty rather than assigning a single mood to everyone.

1. What have participants reported about enjoyment, discomfort or mixed feelings, and whose experience remains unknown? measurement
2. What change would participants welcome if the diversion becomes tiring, uncomfortable or unwelcome? action

Meaningful festive acts

Record which acts participants regard as festive and any meanings attached to them; music, food, gifts or ceremonial gestures are possibilities rather than requirements.

1. Which activities would make this diversion enjoyable for these participants? action
2. Who explains the meaning or expected use of a toast, song, decoration or other celebratory expression? provenance

Celebratory sequence

Identify how the diversion starts, whether it has a focal moment and how it can pause or end, without requiring a formal programme.

1. What marks the beginning and ending of this celebration, and is any focal moment planned? definition
2. What signs or participant requests should prompt a break, a different activity or an earlier ending? action

Accessible festive options

Connect participation needs to specific festive activities, including alternatives where the main form excludes someone.

1. Which sensory, mobility, communication, dietary or remote-access needs affect participation in the chosen activities? action
2. What alternative preserves the intended enjoyment for someone unable or unwilling to join the main activity? action

Festivity and surroundings

Identify effects of the actual festive forms, such as amplified music, crowding or repeated digital notifications, and the agreed conditions for continuing them.

1. Who outside the celebration is affected by its sound, movement, occupancy or digital activity? boundary
2. What setting-specific limits or agreements govern these activities, and where are they recorded? provenance
3. How can the celebration be adjusted if its effects interfere with others' use of the setting? action
