I grew up in Michigan and we always celebrated Thanksgiving "dinner" around noon. I now live in California where it's currently pitch dark by 5pm. We want to sit outside on the patio, so are planning for 2pm. What's your tradition?

    As soon as I can get it all cooked,
    usually around 2:00pm.
    I sure am ready for my
    daughter in law to start cooking it.

    We usually sit down to dinner around 4 pm. This year we will be traveling, and have restaurant reservations at 1:15.

    Depends since I'm the cook/host every year you'd think I would decide....but you'd be wrong😒😂

    Who has football games ....who has this and that ....so the last few years since all my immediate fam have started families of their own I have the apps and pasta/antipasti dishes (Italians lol) ready early like noon....then the turkey and fixings done around 3....we do buffet and you eat and chill and enjoy no pressure just mingle and get your feed bag on lol....its so less stressful this way ....i have about 20 peeps for dinner and more for desserts ....its one of my fav holidays even though its days of cooking / baking😉🤘💗💗💗

    Usually during halftime of the Cowboys game. But first we go around and say what we're grateful for, people start crying, and this pilgrim starts to get hangry.
