ASCII Christmas tree

mfabbri presents you with an ASCII Christmas greeting, from 2007, screenshotted from what appears to be GNOME Terminal on Ubuntu.

I used this picture because I particularly like the background picture of high clouds on the terminal. It makes it look like a blackboard with lots of leftover chalk. Not ideal for readability (I use black text on a slightly yellow-tinged off-white background in Konsole myself), but really quite pretty.

(As for that brown Ubuntu theme, though …)

Update: He’s also done a 2008 version that’s animated!
