:wink: Tis' the season for festooning. Middle or decking wise... as in "deck the halls"... I'm sure when you deck something festooning is involved. :D

A package of Fess tunes would make a neato seasonal giftitude.

Buddy Sings Fess would be so kewl.

I'm showing my age; Fess tunes calls up a different image for me:
Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee,
Greenest state in the Land of the Free,
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree,
Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three.

Maybe it's not age but latitude. A google of Fess does bring up the Parker variety first (whom I vaguely remember), but I did have 11 years in the Yat habitat.

Now that's not nice, why don't you just link up like you spozeta? :x
