Using what you have learned about ANimatron now it is time to use the tool for a message. Holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas)  are notorious for not being celebrated by all. For many people holidays have no meaning or joy, they are a source of pain and anguish for many reasons. Use what you have learned to send a message of hope, to address some of the issues surrounding holiday anxiety.

You may have to do some research to find out more about why people are affected by holidays. Keep your message positive, use the animation to help you send your message.
