What time are you eating tonight? I am eating at 5. WHen I was growing up, we started to eat around 3:30.
Does anybody know why Thanksgiving dinner is so early? I have no idea.

Around 3:00 PM.

We have always eaten around 12 to 1 since I was a child. Maybe because family came from just about everywhere from the Carolinas south. We still eat around the same time now even though there are just a few of us now. Just tradition I guess.

That's Thanksgiving lunch!!!!
I thought 3:30 was early.

We eat at 12-1 too.

WHen I was growing up it was 12:30-1PM so everything would be done by 3 and we could just relax later and much if we were hungry. The hubby is used to 5PM so dinner is at 5, sigh

sometime between 1 and 1:30p

Not cooking, my wife and I have to work. No one is cooking. My mother in law is taking my daughter out to eat since she had surgery she is not cooking.

I don't know when, but it better be soon.

So early? And here I was thinking.... wow, they eat their Thanksgiving dinner late!

We like to eat before the Cowboys come on, and during the game, people are still going back for perhaps a little more, and/or desserts. It's usually around 1:00 - 2:00 pm when we eat. And if everyone isn't too stuffed later that night, we eat again, sometimes eating the same thing or grabbing something we didn't have room for the first time. We always have too many choices. Everyone brings dishes to my parent's house, but my mom still cooks a ton of stuff. We do have a lot of people there though.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are going to eat around 2 today....

We usually eat between 1 and 2 also.

Between 12-1. Leaving soon!

Then we're eating again at my other grandparents between 4-5.

between 3-4

I'll be done eating by around 7-8.

Most likely sometime early in October 2008.

I'm still waiting.

Already had it at lunchtime. I didn't think that was considered abnormal.

I had TWO dinners. Just got back from the second. I am done eating for the next two days I think.

Going to relax and watch TV tonight.

We had a big feast at my parents house at 12pm, had about 40 people over ( ). After we ate we watched the Green Bay/Denver game.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

4:30

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
