What time will your Christmas lunch/dinner be? ?

Picking mum up at 2, then lunch at 3.

Have a nice day all.

Poor you Urmstongran, hope you feel better soon.
Head chef (DH) is aiming for 2.00pm, as DS2 has to leave later as he is working tomorrow. Presents all opened, dog walk later for anyone who wants to join us (that’ll just be me & DH then). Happy Christmas everyone.

Sadly I couldn’t join the family Christmas Day. I’m at home on my own with a tummy bug and cramps. Not chanced a cup of tea yet, just water. Timing eh?

Just us two. Been out for an early morning walk, late breakfast, drinks with neighbours! So probably around 3.30pm and then I might catch the Queens speech!
Happy Christmas to everyone!

Aiming for around 4pm but going on past experience of the cook's timings, probably 5pm

I am a veggie but have cooked turkey for family most years. But last year it still looked pink no matter how long it was in the oven so I ended up throwing it away. I was so stressed I vowed never to cook meat again. Today we are having homemade veggie lasagne followed by Christmas pudding. I made it yesterday so it just needs to go in the oven and I plan to get it ready for 2pm.

we hope to have christmas dinner late afternoon.

Brunch when DD and SiL wake up then dinner at 7pm as usual. There isn't much tv watching in our house so like to make an evening of it.
Happy Christmas!

My usual answer! When it hits the table!

Around 7pm tomorrow, Boxing Day. Just me and DD2 this year and she's working today until around 4pm and will be exhausted when she comes home so we're doing Boxing Day today and Christmas Day tomorrow! Gammon cooked and ready to go, cheese board prepped and with gammon in fridge. Just preparing salads and a roasted parsnip soup.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Planning for 1:30, but flexible - turkey should come out to rest at 1:15, cold starter of savory cheesecake with wardorf salad, so that's amenable to change - go with the flow, and a nice glass of rioja!

Sunny day in North Devon too. Plan to eat at 1pm, just the two of us, then hopefully a walk if it's still nice. Merry Christmas everybody.

We're aiming at 1 o'clock but it will probably be nearer 2 o'clock when we eat. It's vegetarian this year, which I don't mind at all.
It's a sunny day so far in south Devon.

When it is ready.

Just me and DP (dear partner) this year - it's a gorgeous day and we're off for a long walk with sandwiches. Turkey will be gobbled at approx 7 p.m.

About 12. Preparing an M&S Christmas dinner for myself. Just prepped the veg. On my own this year but quite happy. Can do just what i want to. Oh joy. Merry Christmas

Somewhere between 3-4 - after the Queen anyway. Enjoy your day.

Our Christmas lunch is tomorrow when my two sons, their partners and two granddaughters are coming.

Planning for 1pm......will probably be later!

3-ish give or take. DH is the chef and will produce a glorious meal, as always. Haven't yet had breakfast!

We shall probably get around to actually eating our Christmas dinner some time this afternoon. When all the sausage rolls, mince pies and chocolate has gone down. First though we are off over the road to our lovely friend and neighbour for Bucks Fizz and present exchanging. Merry Christmas, Gransnetters xx

When it is cooked....

We'll eat around 3 with daughter, husband and almost 3 year old granddaughter, 3 on new years day.
Then back to just the two of us.

I know how you feel Resurgam123

Early evening. When I have sorted out and wrapped the presesents .
Its just us for another couple of days. Then the little ones. Well they are not so little. 7 and 4 now.

I have to say I feel quite lonely and I am not feeling very jolly.
My other half is rather unsocial. Or will talk everyone to despair.

We're still working out what time to eat. Our daughters are coming with their four youngsters and one additional dog, making 3 dogs to keep away from the meat. Thank goodness for the decent size utility with its safety gate - our young spaniel eats anything and I don't want another visit to the emergency vet.
I'm about to go and stuff the turkey, it came out of the fridge an hour ago so should be ok. Then it's off for another muddy dog walk, which will mean two dogs to shower when we get back. The family will arrive sometime between 11 and 12 then it's nibbles, smoked salmon and cream cheese blini's (sausage rolls for the little ones) and present opening. It's always a bit chaotic but happy.
Merry Christmas every one.

1.00 pm on Boxing Day when our 2 DGSs return and all chaos, noise and happiness will return. ?
