[Denver]

between 1 and 2

[Denver]

then we have a cold food buffet from 6

[Livia]

1:30 for 2pm. My parents like to watch the Queen.

[Niamh.]

Usually 2 but this year I'm going to have the starter at around 1 and then have a two hour gap before we eat the main dinner so 3ish

[Crimson Dynamo]

But this is exactly when TOTP is on and you will be bang starving by 7

and its light outside

what is this madness?

[Firewire]

Between 2-3

[jennyjuniper]

We eat both our Christmas dinners about 6 ish. The Danish one on Christmas Eve and the British one on Christmas Day, but both in the early evening.

[Niamh.]

You have Turkey sandwiches later on in the evening

[Josy]

Ours gets catered in normally anytime between 3 and 5 then a buffet at night

[Jordan.]

Everyone knows you have your xmas meal for lunch and have a buffet in the evening

[caprimint]

12-12:30pm. I always complain that I want it earlier though :idc:

[Cherie]

Ipm otherwise it's hanging over you, we have starter and dinner, then pudding around 4pm and something later on if we want it. If I had dinner at 4pm it would annoy me, we have dinner around 5 on Boxing Day though :hee:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes well it is up to the lady of the house as its her that is doing it I guess

[Cal.]

At about 1/2.

It's stupid having it later cos everyone knows you have a buffet in the evening.

[T*]

4PM. It's the perfect time because it's not too early or too late

[T*]

The only problem is that when you're done it's pitch black because of winter and it feels like it's 10PM lmao

[armand.kay]

At about 1/2.

It's stupid having it later cos everyone knows you have a buffet in the evening.

Some of us only have one meal a day.

[Crimson Dynamo]

At about 1/2.

It's stupid having it later cos everyone knows you have a buffet in the evening.

Its not a Beefeater its your home

[Cal.]

So anyway @ you both having the most awful sounding Christmases I've ever heard of

[Crimson Dynamo]

So anyway @ you both having the most awful sounding Christmases I've ever heard of

In my hoose if I had said to my Maw

"im hungry" after a big Christmas dinner she would have said "well you know where the kitchen is so away an help yersel"

so I guess that is kind of a buffet

:think:

[Daniel-X]

About 6/7 usually.

Only because my mam does a big Xmas day breakfast at like 11.

[armand.kay]

We just have a big meal in the evening and some like finger snacks and drinks throughout the day.

[Cal.]

I never have breakfast on Xmas Day http://uploadir.com/u/mdcese39

[Daniel-X]

I never have breakfast on Xmas Day http://uploadir.com/u/mdcese39

[Cal.]

Why are people getting so flustered over the idea of my mam putting some sarnies and cheese and biscuits on the table?

[Cherie]

Yes well it is up to the lady of the house as its her that is doing it I guess

That's it, by having dinner in the middle of the day you cut out breakfast as nobody wants to spoil their appetite :laugh: feet up by 2.30

[Gstar]

12-12:30pm. I always complain that I want it earlier though :idc:

So you have the rest of the day to drink yourself unconscious like a few years ago? :laugh:

[Will.]

Bless her! She sounds lovely x

[armand.kay]

Oh that's what you meant by buffet... no we have that through the day then have our big meal in the evening. Like we have people popping in and out in our house on Christmas and then al the 'main' family members stay for the main meal.

[Will.]

1-2 usually and then like buffet type food in the evening.

[Cal.]

Ugh Stace was plastered last year by about 11am too

[Cal.]

Drunken bitch

[Gstar]

Mine is usually when TOTP is on, then we go to my nans later in the evening to eat again and perch eastenders with about 50+ black people

[Niamh.]

Why are people getting so flustered over the idea of my mam putting some sarnies and cheese and biscuits on the table?

You should be a good son and offer to do it for her since she cooked you your big lunch :nono:

[Jessica.]

Around 7pm I think, this is only my second year here so it might vary, idk.

[Gstar]

Drunken bitch

[Cal.]

You should be a good son and offer to do it for her since she cooked you your big lunch :nono:

They both love cooking

[Niamh.]

[armand.kay]

[Niamh.]

That's it

*smacks you one right in the gob*

Starving by 7?! Are you sure you're having 3 inappropriately huge meals like the rest of the UK? (I also have it at 1/2).

[Babayaro.]

Around 3.30 usually. Just depends if everything is going to plan

[Nicky91]
