What time does your family eat dinner on Thanksgiving?

[Simfan34]

Dinnertime (normal)

So 6-7pm.

This Thanksgiving for lunch nonsense is not something I am at all okay with.

The only reason to have it around 1 ish, is there's another opportunity to feast around 6 or 7......ala, Our Dear Friend's family.  Once is plenty, yeah.

The reason to have it 1ish is so that people who had to drive an hour or three to get there can get back home the same day.

It's usually different every year, usually some time in the late afternoon/early evening.

There have been a few occasions where we've had dinner the night before.

Usually shortly after 5PM, which is about two hours earlier than dinner on a usual day.  I've never heard of it being eaten earlier than that, but I always thought it was peculiar that we eat earlier than we do on a normal day.  The rest of my extended family lives quite far away from us, so it's usually just me and my parents (and my sister before she moved away), so I guess we don't have the problem of people having to drive back home that Ernest mentioned. 

With regard to IndyTexas' question about regional/cultural variations, I'll say that my father is from the Houston, TX area and my mother is from the Kansas City area, and we are of primarily English extraction.

We have officially set 12:30 PM as our dinner time on Thursday.  The turkey will go in the oven around 8:30 am.

And two meals to follow that.  Ugh.  Disgusting. #pigout #diabetesbedamned. #sloth.

Nah, just dessert.  If I get hungry, I might have a turkey sandwich later in the evening.

That's got to be a rather small turkey.  Even then, you're either not stuffing the bird or giving it time to rest properly before serving.  Oh wait, you said you were doing Stove Top (snicker).

LoL. How was your gut busting second meal?  You're really a horrible liar

I don't live with my family.

11 PM the day afterwards.

I'm not even exaggerating, that actually happened one year.

The turkey went in at 6:30, so looks like that's about when we'll eat this year, too.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

We ate at 2pm to be ready for the Eagles whoopin on Dallas.
