He wanted an assembly program and not an URL! And

That's a demo indeed. But it demoes the execution of a predefined command
line. By itself, it's not showcasing Christmas.

I'm not expecting a graphical Christmas demo when it comes to modern OS.
IMO, that would be too much for assembly. However, I was hoping for a simple
console program, which should be simple enough for e.g. displaying an ASCII
art of a christmas tree while animating its glittering ornaments. Just like
the old days.

Oh.. and in colors. Otherwise, it'll look like an expressionless demo. You
