Quick poll-when do you serve Christmas lunch?

[schroeder]

I like mine about 1pm.

sil about 4.30

dm about 3.

What's normal?

we aim for about 2.30/3

3ish

1pm ish here too.

2-4ish

then a supper at 8ish

3:30-4 when we are at home.

Perfect time for us as it means we get a lovely breaksfast (home made bread, smoked salmon and champagne) a leisurely opening of presents and getting dressed up.

Relatives come round at about 12, more present opening and champagne. Children get plenty of time to play with their gifts and I get plenty of time to watch without stressing in the kitchen and then we all sit down to a fab "lunch" at about 3:30

And still early enough to indulge in supper and chocolates in front of the TV later. Perfect.

2-3ish. Would prefer later but DCs have their other parents to see later in the day so it wouldn't work.
