This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - December Edition, CSS Art: December.
Inspiration
December brings warmth, family gatherings, and celebrations, especially for my family. We have a unique tradition where houses are decorated with colorful balloons, children are playing outside, and women are busy cooking delicious meals. A cow is tied outside, peacefully feeding as part of the tradition. This scene reflects the joy, love, and togetherness that we feel during the Christmas celebrations.
Demo

Journey
While working on this CSS art, I aimed to capture the essence of a traditional family celebration during Christmas in my culture. I started by sketching the scene in my mind and breaking it down into simpler elements.
Key Lessons:
I explored CSS animations to add life to the scene, making the balloons float and children jump around.
I learned how to create simple shapes using CSS, especially by leveraging border-radius and keyframes for animation.
The biggest challenge was translating a mental image into a web-based visual with only CSS. The joy of seeing it come to life was definitely the most rewarding part of the process.
In the future, I’d like to add more interactivity to the scene, such as clickable elements that reveal more details of the celebration or even more intricate animations.
