Title: What time do your family eat Christmas dinner?
Post by: Eugenia06 on December 08, 2012, 06:54:12 am
What time do your family eat Christmas dinner? My family eat at 4:00. That gives everyone more than enough time to get ready.

We usually try to eat somewhere between 3:30pm and 4:00pm like a late lunch/early dinner.

It depends on what time all of the family arrive. We tell everyone to be there at 4pm, but usually we eat at 5pm.

We always eat about 11 a.m. go out to my brothers and everyone is up very early (4;30 a.m.) to get any and all chores done. So by the time it is 11 they are ready to eat. I just don't eat breakfast. that way i am hungray also. It really helped in my younger days as i always had to be back at work the next morning and had to leave eary. Lived 187 miles away and wanted to be home before it got too late. But wouldn't miss a christmas with family.

We do more of a Christmas lunch, usually around 12pm! My mother works in health care and doesn't get Christmas off. Thankfully, she only has to work one shift most years (unless her co-workers are especially uncooperative) and we have our meal a couple hours before she heads to work.

It depends on who's coming from out of town, etc., but it's usually no earlier than 1 p.m. because of prep time. :)

Our family's big dinner is actually Christmas Eve around 5:30.  We have lasagna.  On Christmas, my family eats dinner at some point, but it's never as big a deal as on Christmas Eve.  Everyone seems to just eat cookies, snacks and leftovers mostly on Christmas day.

We usually eat around 1, after we've opened gifts, enjoyed time with the immediate family and then extended family comes over for a large Christmas lunch. Everyone brings a dish to pass, so there is alot of variety and good stuff to eat!!

I have a huge family so most of them come over, but some of them go other places before or after, so people is coming at all times since about 3pm until 7-8pm. That way, there's always a few of us eating at different times throughout the whole afternoon/evening.

We do the big dinner on Christmas Eve around 11 p.m. with all the extended family.  Christmas Day is just my immediate family (me, hubby, girls and parents when in town or brothers) and we eat around 5 or 6 during the day we just snack on or eat left overs from the night before.  I make a turkey it Christmas Eve is not at my house, and we scrub the left overs plus mash potatoes or rice depending and what we brough on the doggy bag
