The great North Pole tree debate has begun. Pick a side!

Two original elfNsanta Christmas tree songs, one very silly argument: a real pine in the corner, or an ASCII tree in a terminal.

🌲 Team Real

β€œOh My Christmas Tree”

Pine needles. Sap. That amazing Christmas-tree smell. The classic.

πŸ’»πŸŽ„ Team Digital

β€œO ASCII Christmas Tree”

No needles. No sap. No watering. Just Christmas, one character at a time.

Songs Growing in This Lot

Growing beside The Proud Pine

Oh My Christmas Tree

A tree that stands so straight it makes the other trees nervous β€” and smells like a forest that followed you home.

Sing along

Growing beside The ASCII Tree

O ASCII Christmas Tree

Slashes, pipes and one very determined caret star. Christmas, rendered at a cosy 80 columns.

Sing along

Checking the lot…

Experience one Β· The forest

Know Your Christmas Tree

Leaders, whorls, stems, branches, needles and sap β€” what each part actually does, plus one elfNsanta joke per part.

The real tree experience

Tap a label on the tree.

Tree anatomy

Leader

The leader is the single straight shoot at the very top of the tree. It grows upward each year and decides how tall the tree becomes β€” and it is exactly where the star goes.

elfNsanta fact (definitely a joke)

β€œOfficially the only part of Christmas that always knows which way is up.”

Tree adoption

Find Your Christmas Tree

Enter the forest, pick a tree, name it, bring it home to the Tree Lot β€” then print your official adoption certificate.

Find your Christmas tree

  1. Enter the forest
  2. Pick a tree
  3. Name it
  4. Bring it home

The forest is very cold and full of options

Six original trees are standing out there with their families, whorls perfectly stacked, quietly hoping you have a saw and a sense of humour.

Experience two Β· The terminal

ASCII Christmas Tree Generator

Set the height, snow, decorations and star, then watch it grow from base to top. Copy it anywhere you like.

  3. 3. Something has gone wrong with the tree. Your first move?
