But this one might be more memorable.

Dave, your description of the smoke around the Thanksgiving table reminds me of my parent's Saturday night canasta games when I was about 5 or 6 years old.
They would play cards at the kitchen table and over the table was a large register grate that allowed the heat from the kitchen to heat the bedroom above. My brother and I would lay on our bedroom floor at times and watch and listen to the grown-ups talk around the table. My aunt and uncle both smoked Pall Malls, my parents smoked Old Golds and Raleighs, my grandfather smoked a pipe. When they all got stoked up a the same time, the smoke in our bedroom would get rather thick. We had a miniature card table in our playroom. I would take that table and turn it upside down over the register to seal off the smoke. Shortly thereafter we moved to Arizona, and I never mentioned it to my mom until the subject of second hand smoke came up after we were living here in Tennessee in my retirement. Although it was 50+ years later, she felt badly that they had not thought of all that smoke going up into our bedroom while they all smoked and played cards.
