Christmas Lunch/Dinner

[pussycatsruleok]

Why has the great Christmas feast become Christmas Lunch. For most of my life its been Christmas Dinner. It seems to kind of downgrade it. All the effort,planning,time and money which goes into creating this most important of meals and then someone,somewhere said 'oh we shouldn't call this a dinner because we eat in the middle(ish) of the day therefore, it must be a lunch. We must rename it Christmas Lunch.' I say bring back Christmas Dinner. It is a great big fat dinner not a piddling little light lunch.

Nope - it's still Christmas Dinner here, whatever time it's eaten (usually about 2 o' clock for us).

'Salways been dinner here too - although my mum goes way overboard by suggesting that everyone should dress up - I wouldn't mind but she's a non-practising Jew! :o

Christmas Dinner.
Must be dark outside (so no 2pm before the Queens Speech for us)
Must have candles, crackers and party poppers
Must be finished before DR Who (DH and DS retire to the front room to watch it)

we still call it dinner but we do eat it at dinner time (5/6ish)

We call it dinner but we usually have it mid/ late afternoon because we have ham for breakfast then champagne and canapés when we open presents late morning.

Dinner here too

Eat about 2-3 ish would eat later but dh is on call every christmas afternoon/evening and I dont want him to
Miss eating with us

Its always been Christmas Dinner in our house and we have it at 1 or 2pm. Pudding is usually had about 4pm and if you want anything later on, its a rummage through the fridge for whatever you to pick at
