I should probably point out that I actually really like the fact I can have the holiday event stuff done in a day across all of my characters. With WoW, it was always just a grind with a time-limit to get the things - and multiple achievements that you had to do all sorts of inane things within the same window of time (such as winning X PvP matches with your orphan following you around or something). Not to mention there were several where you had to choose one item out of three or something, so that meant you had to wait until it came back around twice more before you could get everything.
Meanwhile, the FFXIV ones involve just completing the event quest for the achievement, you can get everything if you'd really like to usually with minimal (if tedious) effort, and you could have it all done in an hour or two instead of spending days farming the Headless Horseman instance to get that one unique weapon you wanted.
