Acknowledgments
I used AI assistance from OpenAI's ChatGPT to improve my project by generating ideas, fixing code issues, and refining the overall approach. This helped me stay aligned with the challenge requirements and learn better development practices.

What I have Learned:
This challenge helped me deepen my knowledge of:
•Advanced CSS Styling & Animations: I learned how to use advanced CSS techniques to create a festive, seasonal atmosphere for the webpage, incorporating smooth transitions, hover effects, and grid layouts to enhance the user experience.

•Responsive Design: By using CSS Grid and Flexbox, I was able to ensure the page adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes, making the content accessible across various devices.

•Scroll-based Interactivity: Implementing the snowflake animation with JavaScript helped me learn how to create dynamic, scroll-based interactions for a more engaging experience.

•Optimization: I focused on optimizing animations and assets, such as reducing snowflake element sizes and adjusting animation durations, ensuring smooth performance on various devices.
