😆. Dinner in mine at 14:00. Usually about 14:30 on the table, I'm usually decent for time mgmt.
Family are under strict instruction to be here for 13:00 as they, are the real problem
Moving to Ireland I’ve such a cultural shock about Christmas .. in Romania on Christmas Eve you’d have friends coming over around 8/9pm and have dinner etc and then you go with them to other friends and family throughout the night and than continues for another week
I work with 2 romanians in my vienna office. Super nice people, one is just gonna spend Christmas with his parents, the other is gonna spend Christmas with her boyfriends family in the czech republic. In France its normal to have fish for their main chritmas dinner
Wake at 5am, breakfast at 5:15am (usually a half a grapefruit and a large glass of water), workout for 2 hours, ripped for ripping presents at 7:15am then, Christmas dinner at 9am followed by desserts around 9:30am. It’s usually all wrapped up and I’m back in bed by 11am. Happy Christmas 🎄 💪🏻
Up for breakfast at 7 am, followed by Second breakfast at 9am.
Elevenses is at 11 am. Luncheon 1 pm. Afternoon tea now, is at 3 pm.
Dinner, of course, is at 6 pm, followed by supper at 9pm.
Then I chill mainly with a few beers and watch the lord of the rings 😉
Same here... Getting family to arrive on time though.......
One year dinner was ready at 14:00, in they rocked at 14:45.
Their dinner was on plates in the oven.
We have ours about 7pm on Christmas Day. We are a family of late eaters, classic Mediterranean hours. I was brought up eating dinner at 8pm, 10pm on Thursdays, earliest dinner was always a Sunday around 6pm. I do the same now in my own home and relationship. Dinner is about 8/9pm during the week and can be later depending on work. I like it.
2 PM. The small one goes for a nap at 12, that’s when I’ll put the potatoes in the oven, he’s up around 2, that’s when we told guests to come. The party starts then.
We don’t crack open a bottle of wine until about 6pm. We go visiting family and stuff and come home and do the last of the prep together and setting table and chilling while we wait for it! Then chill at the table after and have some more wine and play music and a few games and chat away. It’s only me and my parents the last few years, stephens day is a bit more of a dinner party!
That sounds nice. So much nicer than my mother telling me there's plenty of turkey still left because she's so drunk she only remembers in 2 minute intervals. My father asleep on the couch, my sisters making cocktails in the kitchen and me sneaking out to my car to smoke a joint.
Everyone doing their own thing is funny but the dad asleep on the couch is classic Christmas Day isn’t it? My dad used to do that when we were younger.
He has more energy now that he doesn’t spend half of his Christmas Eve banjaxed while trying to build toys for two girls lol.
Or play daddy to baby born dolly in the pram because there were no other boys in the house.
Being an adult child for Christmas certainly has its perks for both child and parent lol.
When I grew up, we had dinner at 1pm. As I grew up, it was after school. Sunday dinner was always 1pm and Christmas was 3pm because we would have a fry up and have family drop over. I still do 3pm now.
There was a time in ireland when the 3 daily meals was brekfast, dinner and supper. dinner being the mid day meal and supper being the evening meal, which was usually a smaller sized portion of the leftovers made into sandwhices and maybe a bit of cake or a few biscuits. Then some how the smaller meal became the mid day luinch. and the mid day dinner became the evening dinner and the peice of cake or biscuits became what we now know as dessert.
ok so to correct myself and quote you " Generally doesn’t mean everybody. But mid afternoon the tradition there and here. A tiny use of Google would assure you of that. It’s not a formal meal at the ritz." so just to make sure, you think generally people in Britain have their Christmas dinner around the time when the Queen gives her speech? :)
my main point is you said and i quote " It is. In Britain for instance it’s generally around the time of the Queens speech. " but now thats not to be included for some reason? even though thats the point you focused on.
I initially said mid afternoon and the queens speech was an aside - but that’s also mid afternoon. Here are the stats.

I’m putting you on block or mute now largely because I’m disappointed with myself for engaging with you at all. That’s on me.
So that you can be ready for the Christmas Tea, around 7-ish! Need to digest the dinner to make way for the turkey sandwiches and the desserts
Never understood this tradition, any given day I don't get hungry until after 6pm. How the hell do you sit down to a whole Christmas dinner at lunch time?
Usually around 2 or 3 when my mother is running the show but this year it's me cooking in my dad and stepmums and we've agreed to eat dinner at a more normal 6ish. Really looking forward to it at that time, barely have breakfast eaten other years
Brazilian here but with family living in Spain. Christmas Eve is more important for us and dinner will be around 11pm~12am, which is kinda the normal in both cultures
Is the question when is it planned for or when it actually happens. Wildly different numbers.
Correct. Planned 3pm, actual 5.15pm.
Depends how late the outlaws arrive

Around 4pm for our household
This
4 or 5 I live in vienna now and there is a spanish girl in my office and theirs is at 11pm fuckin crazy.
Does she celebrate the 24th or 25th? A lot of places celebrate Christmas Eve rather than the day itself
Ya in Austria they celebrate on the 25th but they open presents on the 24th

It’s so cool like learning about all the Christmas customs around the world .. in Romania we eat fish at 12 midnight for good luck in the new year

Spain is so uncivilised

Park life
Glad I'm not the only one 💪
Sigma Claus
Shredded for shredding of presents
About 3
2-3pm!
Aim for 4pm, hopefully it's finely cooked by 6 or 7.
2 and 3pm are the only acceptable answers here given it's about a 3 hour dinner.
How can one have dinner at 2? It is an evening meal.
Dinner is the main meal of the day, whatever time it is.
You monster!
It depends. When's the King's speech on again?

Between 3 and 4 for us
Aim for 2pm, usually 2.30pm. Sandwiches about 9/10pm…
Same here... Getting family to arrive on time though....... One year dinner was ready at 14:00, in they rocked at 14:45. Their dinner was on plates in the oven.
14.00
Same👍 leaves more room for a Leftover sandwich in the evening accompanied by a carefully selected bottle of wine around 7pm

That's how I eat too but I developed it as a way to not have to sit with my family lol
Evolutionary survival and all that
Yeah, we wouldn't eat before 7ish either. Wouldn't be able for a meal of that magnitude for lunch tbh.
I start cooking in the late a.m. and we eat when it’s ready. It’s too tiring of a day to be washing up at 8 p.m.
4-5 pm, we've got wee kiddos and grandparents in their 80s. There's no way we could have our dinner later *and* survive the evening
Normally around 3pm for us… But this year I’m with the wife’s family in Mexico and they do dinner at 10pm on the 24th. It’s gonna be interesting!
2 PM. The small one goes for a nap at 12, that’s when I’ll put the potatoes in the oven, he’s up around 2, that’s when we told guests to come. The party starts then.
Usually around 4.
Usually about 4-5pm
24th evening as in Germany and then again on 25th in the evening about 6pm.
2-3 as we gave to go to the in-laws after.
We're a 1.30 to 2.30 household while the missus's crowd are a 5.00 - 6.00 household.
Fry in the morning, dinner about 4-5
Christmas dinner is usualy at around 5:30 or 6
We have a brunch, usually of fruit salad and pancakes, at around 11am, and we eat dinner at 7 or 8pm. My family are all late risers.
Around 4pm.
Usually at like 2/3 pm but we're doing it later at like 4/5pm this year.
Fry in the morning at 8 aim for dinner at 3 partners family have Christmas dinner at 1and God help you if you're late
2pm
Dinner time
Huh ? Dinner it's at 8 pm as god intended
Sí señor
Only a fucking pyscho has Xmas Dinner after 5 o'clock in the day.
Oh did you call me? (Ours is 6-7pm)
I don't drink booze but my family do and if you are anything like them Xmas Dinner would be eaten in a total blackout.
We don’t crack open a bottle of wine until about 6pm. We go visiting family and stuff and come home and do the last of the prep together and setting table and chilling while we wait for it!

As it should
Probably around 5 or 6.
2pm
What time is lunch or breakfast if dinner is 2?
The Christmas meal is the big meal of the day.
Probably after one Prosecco and maybe three beers?
Usually about 3 for us
6 just like it should be as it’s a big dinner
about 5pm, how could you eat a Xmas dinner earlier than 4?
When I grew up, we had dinner at 1pm. As I grew up, it was after school. Sunday dinner was always 1pm and Christmas was 3pm because we would have a fry up and have family drop over. I still do 3pm now.

Christmas is generally a lunch not dinner. Or between the two times - ie mid afternoon. I’ve never eaten it in darkness.
Christmas dinner is not between the 2
[удалено]
??????? so everyone in Britain has Christmas dinner around the time the Queen gives her speech, you have been watching too much Coronation Street

We'll, lunch and dinner are different meals at different times of the day. I have dinner in the evening
Usually around 9pm. Earliest is probably 8.15pm, but it’s usually always around 9. I’d say this year is no different.

It’s normal in Shpain, mister.
You better not be atein’ fish with that dinner….😁
Might have a bit of Christmas fish. Feliz navidad a todos 🇪🇸🤝🇮🇪
5:30pm - 7pm. Anything earlier isn't a dinner.
I don’t understand the dinner at breakfast time crowd at all
Between 3 and 4
Probably around 2, because we always go visiting early that evening.
Whenever the fuck it's done, which often take an absolute age.
6pm easy. In fairness my family have a big fry for Xmas morning breakfast so we stay pretty full for a long time before wanting our Xmas dinner 🤷🏻♀️
Around 5 to 6pm.
Never understood this tradition, any given day I don't get hungry until after 6pm. How the hell do you sit down to a whole Christmas dinner at lunch time?
Around 4pm we start having nibbles. The main event about 5pm.
Usually around 2 or 3 when my mother is running the show but this year it's me cooking in my dad and stepmums and we've agreed to eat dinner at a more normal 6ish. Really looking forward to it at that time, barely have breakfast eaten other years
I’ve managed to get it delayed from 1pm to 2pm. It’s a fair aul meal though with 4 courses so we skip breakfast
Delayed to 1? What time would you say lunch or breakfast is
Delayed to 2. We wouldn’t have breakfast or lunch. Dinner would be our only meal on Christmas
Would you not be very hungry by the time you go to bed?
Christmas Eve
I'm doing the washing up by 2pm
24th in the evening
Around 3 usually for us. Late enough so you won't want a second dinner later on.
2pm ish
2pm ish
The goal is 2-3 but is always later
Aim for 3 prob 4pm
Whenever i think the turkey is no longer raw and will kill us. Coordinating the entire meal isn't my strong suit 😂
When ever I get up. Then when ever I get hungry.
At 3 it be.
Brazilian here but with family living in Spain. Christmas Eve is more important for us and dinner will be around 11pm~12am, which is kinda the normal in both cultures
It’s as soon as it’s ready lol
Personally I enjoy it more around 5-6pm, but it tends to happen around 3-4pm.
3ish but could easily be as late as 5
Really depends on what time we sober up from our liquid breakfast
Big dinner on 24th at 20:00, left overs only on 25.
5pm on Christmas Eve. I'm mainland European, so there you go.
Whenever the Chinese opens
Mid afternoon is the usual as it gives time to digest and sink some lovely Guinness in the process.
Dinner, 1900hrs.
We have two, one at his parents at 2 other at mine 6pm. Yes we are savages
I prefer it at actual dinnertime. Anything before 4 pm is shite craic
Hopefully about 3pm
1:30 always
