We start carving into that turkey around 3pm! (Dessert follows around 5pm.)
 
2-3PM. My grandpa also throws the turkey in early because he gets hungry and refuses to eat breakfast so he starts the process the second he gets up.

When it's my turn to cook dinner, it won't be until 6.
 
When I used to cook it was usually 3-ish too.. Those hours of cooking the turkey were pure torture though! The aroma.. It woud make us sooooooo hungry!!!
 

2pm appetizers and then dinner around 3:30...dessert follows after clean up and relaxing a bit.

Wow... you're all making me seem like my family is normal for once. :goodvibes

Everyone always thinks we're weird for eating so early since they usually eat dinner at a dinner time...

You eat AGAIN at dinner. lol Leftovers!!
 
I try to have Thanksgiving dinner ready around 4:00pm. Can't wait!!
 
2pm here also, desserts to follow. Seems to be a popular time. We also pick on food the rest of the night.

Parade at 9, followed by football. Dinner at 2, then usually another football game. This year we are going to a show.
 
Just got the email that we will be eating between 2-3, which is pretty normal. We eat again later in the evening too.
 
DH's family used to do eat closer to 7 pm.. and it was so late! I'd much rather prefer earlier than later.
 
6pm although this year we are going to a movie so it will depend what time the movie is playing.
 
We're eating at 2 pm also. That way we can have leftovers to snack on the rest of the day :yay:
 
We usually eat around 3, but this year DS has to work, so we are waiting until 5.
