ADEPTAPRIL/DEC03
Mistigram: Oh, you shouldn't have! Judging by the shape of the package in this #ANSIart screen for Make A Gift Day, I do believe that AdeptApril is giving me a NeXTcube for Christmas!

ADVENT24/WELCOME
Mistigram: this welcome screen, our first time sharing the text art handiwork of Hortau, is exclusive to the BBS door version of our ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar, ported by Alpha, which SysOps of Linux/Mac-based BBSes can download and set up for the enjoyment of collers to their own systems via https://github.com/robbiew/mg_advent
MIST1223/02_DEC23
Mistigram: this cozy fireplace scene was drawn by @Darokin for this date in our 2023 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar - both 2023 and 2024 are now available as a Linux/Mac BBS door, adapted by Alpha - this screen was captured live from his SpaceJunk BBS... which you can telnet into at spacejunkbbs.com:2323.
ADEPTAPRIL/DEC02
Mistigram: nothing says December quite like basketball, first devised to give athletes an indoor sport to play in cold months. AdeptApril celebrates it in #ANSIart today as it's the birthday of James Naismith, the Canadian inventor of the sport in 1891: a Canadian Heritage moment.

ADVENT24 FILE_ID
Mistigram: As we mentioned previously, for the second year in a row, we at the Mistigris computer art collective have compiled and shared an executable #ANSIart #AdventCalendar to be enjoyed as part of the December lead-up to Christmas. This festive image, by turns jolly and grim, is @littlebitspace 's FILE_ID artwork to this year's ADVENT24 calendar program. To view today's (totally gnarly) image, find a way to download and run the program in an MS-DOS operating environment or virtual machine (eg. DOSBox) -- or simply check it out on the 16colo.rs archive. (It will also shortly be available on numerous bulletin board services.) Return the following day to see which new artwork is unlocked on the 2nd! Repeat until Christmas cheer is achieved, or Dec 25th, whichever comes first.
MIST1223/01_DEC23
Mistigram: we've just dropped an executable MS-DOS #ANSIart #AdventCalendar for December's lead-up to Christmas, for the 2nd year running. This cozy seasonal screen, drawn by codefenix of Constructive Chaos BBS (conchaos.synchro.net), was the first illustration in last year's. For further information about this year's Mistmas Advent calendar, stay tuned.
ADEPTAPRIL/DEC01
Mistigram: we kick off our final month of coverage of AdeptApril's daily #ANSIart holiday calendar with a seasonal observance, of National Christmas Lights Day! (If you don't celebrate, we're also curious about your Hanukkah and Kwanzaa light displays.)
