 * [[image:Box_1.jpg width="564" height="395"]]


 * Find a single Santa / Father Christmas / St Nicholas on the internet, using Photoshop remove any background and Save as a .png ( you may have to change the type of file that you have downloaded so that you can edit the image. Using the menu, go into the image - mode - and change to RGB)
 * Find images of 4 Continents / Countries, and 4 different animals which represent those continents - edit them using Photoshop
 * Open Xara and using the above file place your Continents, Santa's and animals on each of the faces of the box. Think about layout and quality.
 * Add text to the top of the box for example: "Santa in a Box" " Merry Christmas" etc. something seasonal.
 * Finally save the original file as a .xar on your own account and "export" as a jpeg and place in my jcW folder, you can also place it in the Google presentation below:
