Big breakfast around 9, lunch (the main event!) around 2, puddings not before 4-5pm, and a light grazing supper of cheeses and picky bits in the evening.

StarryNightSparkles · 24/12/2021 16:27

I am thinking 🎄
Brunch around 11
Starters around half one
Dinner at 7pm
Desserts and coffee around 10pm

I will also put out and top up nibbles for us to graze on during the day 😊🎄

maddiemookins16mum · 24/12/2021 16:32

Reindeer crumpets, bacon rolls, and fruit salad/yoghurt around 9am.
Prawn starters around 2pm, dinner about 3.30pm.
There’ll be plenty of nibbles around if people are peckish in between.
Pudding will be on the sofa with Call The Midwife.
I’ve also got sausage rolls and cheese and crackers etc for the evening too.

Breakfast whenever we feel like it. Christmas lunch any time between 12.30 and 2, whenever it is ready. We prefer to eat our main Christmas day meal at lunchtime rather than the evening. Other than that I don't stress about meal times.

Goldbar · 24/12/2021 16:33

Early breakfast for DC at 7.30am (just porridge and fruit)
Brunch at 11.30
Christmas dinner at 6pm.

scarpa · 24/12/2021 16:35

Breakfast about 9/10, whenever we wake up.

Christmas dinner about 6/7.

Chocolate and champagne in between.

neverbeenskiing · 24/12/2021 16:37

We have young DC who wake up early so breakfast will be about 7am. Something quick and easy like crumpets, cereal, croissants. Lunch is around 1pm. Nibbles, cheese and crackers and leftovers about 5pm.

TheOldLadyOfThreadneedleStreet · 24/12/2021 16:38

Rarely breakfast on Christmas Day, kids eat chocolates, lunch usually between 1-2pm. In the evening we usually have sandwiches and crisps, not always all at the same time!

Crunchymum · 24/12/2021 16:39

At home:
Breakfast is about 9am kids tend to have special cereal they've chosen (like Cocoa Pops) and we have pastries
Lunch about 1pm: usually sausage / bacon rolls.
Dinner 6pm: traditional Christmas Dinner and dessert

We are out this year so we are going to do breakfast baps for brunch, full roast about 3pm and I'm roasting a turkey crown now so we'll have turkey sandwiches and nibbles when we get home tomorrow evening.

2TurtleDovesInARow · 24/12/2021 16:39

Breakfast about 8, or whenever we can hold off present opening til, Christmas lunch any time between 2 and 4 and then nibbles in the evening.

StColumbofNavron · 24/12/2021 16:41

We have a large Middle Eastern breakfast around 9.30-10.00 and then head to family for presents around 2.30 with dinner around 3.30-4.00. Tbh it then doesn’t really end, we either stay at the table chatting and playing a game or flit about as new things arrive: dinner, desserts, cheese, chestnuts, fruit.

TenoringBehind · 24/12/2021 16:44

Breakfast 8ish
Christmas meal about 5/6
Light sandwich, cheese, chocolate, whatever to keep us going between the two.

LunaLoveFood · 24/12/2021 16:48

Breakfast is chocolate while opening presents and lunch is between 1 and 2pm. No dinner as such, just grazing leftovers a goodies.

Kite22 · 24/12/2021 16:48

It is quite different now we don't have little dc.
None of that getting up before the crack of dawn Grin

Over the years, we like to eat around 1pm / 1.30
This year we will eat a bit earlier as ds has to go to work and it seems a shame for him to miss dinner for the sake of an hour.

I do like to eat at lunchtime though, not half way through the afternoon. I love a turkey sandwich early evening Smile

fussychica · 24/12/2021 16:49

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs about 9am. Presents. Dinner about 2.30 I expect and picky bits from M&S if anyone is hungry in the evening.

ArblemarzipanTFruitcake · 24/12/2021 16:51

We don't have breakfast on Christmas day. Just me and DH so we'll get up when we're ready and I'll put the goose in as soon as I've come to. I expect it'll be cooked by 1pm.

2Rebecca · 24/12/2021 16:52

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs about 9. Dinner about 3 preceded by a bot of snack food

ComtesseDeSpair · 24/12/2021 17:07

We’ll be having breakfast in the Beaconsfield motorway services Wetherspoon at approximately 9am. Lunch probably around 2pm. But it varies. It’s not up to me, anyway, my job at Christmas is to revert into an overgrown teenager and let my parents get on with doing things however they want.

Brainwave89 · 24/12/2021 17:13

9.15. Is for breakfast. good smoked salmon and scrambled egg. Lunch at 1.00. Turkey and all the trimmings.

FangsForTheMemory · 24/12/2021 17:14

Breakfast about 9am, may consist of chocolate or mince pies. Dinner about 3-4pm.

EileenGC · 24/12/2021 17:14

I’m in Spain. Christmas meal is today. We each had breakfast when we got up (between 7-9.30am). Lunch was at 3pm. Christmas dinner will start at 9.30pm I believe. At least that’s when everybody gets here.

OGenkiDesuKa · 24/12/2021 17:45

We’ve got eggs royale for breakfast probably around 9ish then lunch at 3.

samsmum2 · 24/12/2021 17:49

Breakfast = croissants around 9am, smoked salmon on bread with champagne at 1pm and Christmas lunch at about 3pm.

Kinneddar · 24/12/2021 17:54

I've never really understood the whole dinner at 3pm thing. We just eat at usual times so dinner around 7

Gertie75 · 24/12/2021 17:56

I never have breakfast and tomorrow will be the same although I'll probably graze on chocolate and have dinner at 5
