Traditionally, around 4pm. This year, no visitors. Just dinnertine.

(seagrass here) When I still cooked for a group at Thanksgiving we typically ate in the early afternoon. Desserts later.

This year in the evening, but it will just be pizza. We normally have our TG meal on Friday instead of Thursday, but it will still be in the evening. It's just the two of us, and so it really doesn't matter. In a normal year, we would go to a restaurant around noon on T-Day.

We always have our meals around one or one thirty for holidays.

Typically, around 1 pm so family could get back over the pass before dark. Family is gone now. Just the two of us. We'll eat around 4.

We would typically aim for 2 PM, and hopefully have all on the table and everyone seated by 3 PM ;0) But this isn't a usual year and its just the 2 of us. I think I have things timed for us to eat about 5:30, later than usual for a holiday but still early when considering what time we normally have dinner. I haven't baked the rolls ahead, no reason to worry about having big batches finished. It will be two sheets worth still, but they can bake while I make gravy and rest the turkey.

At our/my normal dinner time.....around 6-6:30 pm. I never understood the rationale for eating holiday dinner early in the day. Not only do I find that sort of meal not very appealing so early but I couldn't eat enough to enjoy it. I can barely manage it at dinnertime!

We eat at 2pm, which allows for a walk after the meal. When our folks were still with us, it also allowed them to drive home before dark.

Yes eating earlier folks can get back home and some do have to go to work the next day. I am really ready for bed by six at night.

Agreed about the travellers, plus we're lucky to get a morsel of brunch on T'day. By late afternoon, everyone has an appetite. There's also something nice about the fading Autumn light. That's so much a part of my internal image of Thanksgiving that T. dinner after dark just seems wrong.
