When is the typical Thanksgiving day feast eaten?
We always had Thanksgiving dinner around 2-3 PM in my family. It gives enough time to build ravenous appetites for the feast, without the snacking that would be necessary in a family full of hypoglycemics if we’d waited ’til suppertime. Same goes for Christmas dinner, though we hold it Christmas Eve so kids are free to stuff themselves on stocking goodies Christmas morning without hurting the cook’s feelings by being entirely disinterested in dinner.
