We usually eat it closer to noon, but this year we've postponed it a day.

Sometime between 4pm and 6pm, depending on when we started cooking. There's only 7 of us, so it doesn't require as much time as it probably did for others.

we haven't done it for years, but I prefer early afternoon.  If you do it too late in the day you are either really hungry or you need to have a decent size snack around noon or so to hold  you over until meal time.  I'd rather just start eating when I'm hungry.

We were supposed to at 3, but ended up eating closer to 4:30. Although, it usually is around noon to coincide with football.

October.

Thankgiving is a harvest-time holiday, so doing it in late November is bizarre IMO.

It floats from year to year (and I now have multiple thanksgivings to attend.)

My family always aims for some time in the neighborhood of 2-4pm; the husband's family prefers close to 12 noon.

Anything 5pm or later (i.e., when it's dark outside) is weird and I think you're lame if you do this.

I have never had a Thanksgiving dinner and hope to never become that American.

5 or 6pm, typically. That was at least the case this year.

Usually in the evening, though frequently (like this year) we do it on Wednesday.

The use of the word "dinner" to refer to the last meal of the day is a very recent phenomenon.  For a long time, dinner was a large meal eaten during the middle of the day.  "Supper" is the traditional English word used for an evening meal, which was historically more informal and lighter than a full dinner.  This nomenclature lives on in the American South and much of the British Isles.

What if I said this about people who do Thanksgiving dinners in the first place?

I'd applaud you for this unabashed demonstration of Southern nationalism Cheesy
