This thread is to find the member who’s thanksgiving meal was scheduled for the earliest in the day.
This idea came to mind after hearing a relative want to have it at 11AM

Post your planned meal time. The earliest wins some sympathy.
 
Ours was 4 p.m. I have always tried to get a morning hunt in on Thanksgiving Day. I missed one of the largest whitetails I have ever had a chance at one Thanksgiving morning.
 
1:00 which I think is ok.

Late enough for a quick walk in the morning for bird or beast but early enough that my “Let’s get this over with” attitude doesn’t ruin the whole day and I’m ready for a gravy sandwich before bed.
 
2:00 this year. There wasn't a person in the house who expected to see me home at that time, but I was...this time.
 
Growing up, it was always 11-1 at the farmhouse. Everyone sat in the morning until 9 or so with enough time in there to get in a few deer drives before having to arrive back at 11. Dinner was ready usually just before noon and everyone wanted to get out of there at 1 to head back to sit for the evening. After sitting deer had to taken care of (hung and skinned in the shed) and Supper was at 6. There was no shortage of food that day, double turkey meals to fill that belly good!
 
1:00 was the plan but we tried spatchcock turkey which cooked an hour quicker. We sat down at noon.
