I fed the lyrics for dozens of Christmas songs and carols into NIALL and it generated these lyrics which I then programmed by Commodore 64 to display in BASIC, and used S.A.M. the Software Automatic Mouth to sing. To match the theme, I programmed a machine language routine that generated unique snowflake sprites and made them fall down the screen under control of a system interrupt routine.
