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

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?
