Over the years Santa Claus has noticed a decline in the Christmas spirit and is in desperate need of our help! Santa and his elves have put together a basic design concept for a brand new website they want to be able to launch in November.
The website should provide visitors with the following:
- A page for Christmas information and facts.
- Recipes page for traditional food and drinks of Christmas
- Gift suggestions for secret santas
- Lyrics for Christmas songs
- Christmas games 🎮
- Christmas Films 🎥
- Christmas Books 📚
- Christmas Activities 🤪
- Christmas themed party costumes 👻
- Christmas themed backgrounds 🗻
- Christmas themed name generator webapp 📱
