What TIME will you have your Thanksgiving meal?

[underpants]

My Mom said we will be eating about 3:00.

You?

[TEB]

1. 4 pm

Happy thanksgiving

[Arkansas Granny]

2. We generally shoot for 1:00 - 2:00, but usually sit down around 3:00 - 4:00.

To keep everyone happy while until dinner is ready, we don’t make them wait till after the meal to enjoy the dessert table. 🍰 No hangry guests that way.

3. Usually I say 4 but by 5 once they settle down

[Lochloosa]

4. Saturday. Grand kids. It gets complicated.

[Madam Mossfern]

6. We do Saturday for friends

Used to do it on Saturday too because, you know - in-laws.
Grandkids too.

[Madam Mossfern]

5. This is the first time I'm not the one doing Thanksgiving

It used to be around 6 :00PM (sometimes later) and go on for most of the night.
My daughter-in law is doing it this year, she's shooting for 3:00.

Hell, I did it all myself back then- up to 30 people and four young kids running
around like maniacs, husband in retail so I was on my own. How did I do it?

Maybe that's why we ate so late?

8. Lol. How DID you? Aside from your little turkeys,

big turkeys any part of it? I like to stuff the bird with everything homemade, and before I learned to do two 12-14 pound birds (one the day before), I was getting up at 5 or so in the morning to get it in the oven in time to eat midafternoon. It also took me way too long to learn to make almost everything else days and weeks ahead.

Younger generations are taking over more and more here also. Embrace the serenity.

7. About ten minutes after I open the Hungry Man turkey dinner box.

Zap it five minutes in the microwave, remove to stir vegetables and flip meat patties, return to nuke it another three minutes, remove and let stand for one minute.

12. Towline, you're wasting your time

17. I'm having Stouffer's Roast Turkey. It only takes 5 minutes in the microwave!

But I did buy a Marie Callender's Dutch Apple Pie (frozen) that takes over an hour to bake. Going to have apple pie for dessert for several
days!

9. 1030am. She has a shift at a big box at 6

And wants time for a nap

[GulfCoast66]

10. Reservations at 6:15

Best Cuban/Spanish restaurant in Florida. The wife and I are both working today by choice so we can have Christmas off.

The restaurant offers a turkey special with a Cuban flare but we will pass on it and get classic roast pork.

We have done this for 8 years now.

[Chipper Chat]

11. 0 hour

Working noon to 11pm today. Probably a bag of sweet potato chips. Maybe a bagel from the kitchen.. I chowed down yesterday

[Hortensis]

13. Underpants, others have dictated about 2 p.m. In our case

it's so those who want can leave the children with the others and run off and do Black Friday. I long ago embraced on-line shopping (LOVE it!), so I go just for fun. If I'm going to head home exhausted after a long evening, I'd prefer it to be spent dancing, but oh well.

Fwiw, wn-line shopping's already become a tradition also, though. We now wrap each others' presents as they arrive shipped directly to the recipient, names they're addressed to being the designated wrappers.

[surrealAmerican]

14. round about 6:00

It's when our guests are available, but it's pretty much when I would want anyway.

[GreenEyedLefty]

15. Turkey will come out about 1:00-1:30, eat at 2:30-3:00

I find the longer the turkey rests, the better.

[Maeve]

16. 5:30-6--younger son is working

Usually we would be eating by 4, but he's getting holiday pay

[superpatriotman]

18. Right about the time I would normally skip lunch

[Blue_Adept]

19. This past Sunday at 6pm

The kids are at their mother's this year so no turkey day festivities for me. Instead, I'll be hitting the movies to see Lady Bird after seeing Coco with them last night.

20. Around 5.

Drain tub in the laundry overflowed Tuesday night. Got the laundry room floor and trickled down to the basement. Until last night, every flat surface except the stove in our house was covered in wet photos, 1930s and 40s yearbooks, and deconstructed scrapbooks of family, some pics from the early 1920’s. Had to hand wash some old quilts as well.

They weren’t on the floor, but on the top shelf in the basement storage. UGH! It was a mess. But, all dry and put back together now.

[Thor_MN]

21. At least an hour after my mom and sisters say that we will eat...

But heaven help you if you are not there earlier than they say.

They are NEVER on time, but it's scheduled for three, after backing off from two.
