I'm an old man now, and the Holiday I miss most from my youth is -

[The Polack MSgt]

Drunk Cousin's Eve.

The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving Day when all the cousins escaped grandma's house to go get faced at a bar down the road

1. "Faced"...

That brings me back...

[magicarpet]

3. ..... as in (feces) "faced".... ?

[lapucelle]

4. That would be a "no" because i don't even know what you mean.

“Faced” meant stoned or drunk.

7. Decipher.,,,,

Feces = shit

Faced = Stoned/drunk

Shit faced

[lapucelle]

8. Well that went right over my head.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

2. That was also SOP for high school friends coming back to town from different colleges.

It was the first big go-home holiday of the school year. I never realized it had a name, though.

5. We called it, "Thanks-taking".

And it usually involved copious amounts of alcohol and one type of controlled substance or another.

Every family has their own family traditions though, MSgt.

6. I'm an older man, too

That won’t stop me from indulging in the holidays!

Bottoms up!

9. Yup, I did not know that was a thing, but hell yeah that was a tradition.

Good times..
