My family (Long Island) has ways had Thanksgiving dinner at about 2pm. My wife's family (Detroit) eats at 7pm. Kills me to wait all day to eat. Then no sandwich later on after the nap. When do you guys eat? Is it a regional thing? I'm gonna go crazy tomorrow waiting for dinner. And what am I supposed to do all day while watching football?
2pm here; gf's family eats at 4.
Which means I get thanksgiving twice. 
We are doing 3:30pm tomorrow, usually its been later like 5 or 6 though.
When it's done. Which means it's been from Noon sometimes and 6pm some years. Depends on how fast the turkey gets done, really.
I'm off work at 2, need to change and drive 45 min from home, so whenever I get there. Until then I'll hold out with my two Big Texas Cinnamon Rolls. They were made in Chicago.
It's always been noon-ish around here.
5:30ish on the second Monday in October.
3 pm for the g/f's family. Her mother is pretty good at getting dinner on the table when scheduled. Being married to a neurotic engineer for over 50 years will learn you that.
When I go to my mother's, its anyone's guess. Depends on when she gets the food ready (I love mother dearly, but cooking is not her strong skill).

Ha. Ha.
Canadians....
Shooting for 1pm, but when it is done, it is done.
we don't cook anymore .. go out for Thanksgiving meal ... res. is for 2:30 .... usually shoot for 1, but got even lazier than normal and they didn't have room 'till later 
2pm today with my family and 5pm on Saturday with hers. It used to be on the same day
Growing up in Detroit, my family always ate around 2pm.
Should be around 3PM at the fokes and I also go over to my aunts latter in the evening.
Have fun guys. Paul B
We aim for the 1-2 range. People have been showing up since last night
I have to work... stupid stupid Lighting designer wants to do the focus today instead of tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I am the senior most focuser on the crew at Borgata.. so he wanted me.
Least I get Holiday Pay
Between 12 & 1. Can't wait any longer and I get grumpy when I don't eat.
Can't have that big a meal late in the day or you'll suffer all night long.
Eating early also gives you time for the post coital nap.
In reply to vwcorvette:
Looks like most of us will have fully indulged in our gluttony long before those hunger pangs finish ruining your football game. Hope that makes you feel better! 
Was at noon, but it's at 2pm now.
My family has it around 2 to 3. My girlfriend's family has it at 7

Want to know what makes it worse? I'm a Jets fan!
Urgh. My poor stomach.
My family and I visited my grandfather at 1pm. Then I went home and ate Thanksgiving dinner at 3pm. Right now I'm at work.

And I have to wait till tomorrow because we have to work around all the other in-law type families this year.
Making fudge as we speak. Mmmmmmmm!
And my wife is making the dressing. My daughter is frying turkeys tomorrow. Well actually her boyfriend is trying to impress all of us with his culinary skills so he's frying them.
We've fried turkeys twice and haven't liked it nearly as much as roasted. They've tended to be dry by comparison. The microwave is the ultimate turkey roaster. A little messy, but the juiciest you've ever had.
