I ate late this year because it was just me. Usually, friends and I get together to eat, drink and play games but because of various family issues people had my usual plans fell apart. Normally we eat between 5:00 - 6:00pm. When I was a kid, before my parents divorced it was usually around 1:00 - 2:00pm, which was great because if it was at my grandparents' house and that gave you plenty of time to slip into a coma and wake up in time to go home (lots and lots of food, both traditional Thanksgiving food and not).
