What is the correct time to eat in Thanksgiving?
Do you eat the bird at lunchtime and spend the rest of the day napping and picking at the leftovers?
Or do you wait all day and eat at dinner time, hence the term Thanksgiving Dinner?
Or, since it's a special day, do you spend part of the day eating appetizers or cheese balls and veggie trays then eat around 2 or 3?
