### Display Christmas Tree in Linux terminal using Perl

This trick was originally shared by [NixCraft][5]. You’ll need to install a Perl module for this.
To be honest, I don’t like using Perl modules because uninstalling them is a real pain. So **use this Perl module knowing that you’ll have to manually remove it**.
```
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Acme::POE::Tree'
```
You can read the original article [here][5] to know more about it.
## Download Linux Christmas Wallpapers
All these Linux Christmas wallpapers are created by Mark Riedesel and you can find plenty of other artwork on [his website][6].
He has been making such wallpapers almost every year since 2002. Quite understandably some of the earliest wallpapers don’t have modern aspect ratio. I have put them up in reverse chronological order.
One tiny note. The images displayed here are highly compressed so download the wallpapers from the provided link only.

### Bonus: Linux Christmas carols
Here is a bonus for you. Christmas carols Linuxified for Linux lovers like us.
In [an article on Computer World][51], [Sandra Henry-Stocker][52] shared such Christmas carols. An excerpt:
To the tune of: [Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire][53]
> Running merrily on open source
> With users happy as can be
> We’re using Linux and getting lots done
> And happy everything is free
To the tune of: [The Twelve Days of Christmas][54]
> On my first day with Linux, my admin gave to me a password and a login ID
> On my second day with Linux my admin gave to me two new commands and a password and a login ID
