Each family has its own traditions, but most prefer to have the Thanksgiving Feast as the noon meal. The family can visit, play games, watch football or engage in other activities all afternoon, then the left-overs make a nice evening supper.
If you are preparing the holiday meal for the first time, consult older members of the family for ideas. Perhaps others would like to prepare family favorite dishes or help you cook or do the entertaining. The more people who participate, the more fun it will be for everyone.

I've been to both times with different sides of the family. 1:00 is nice so you can go home and veg after all that food. 6:00 was traditional for my mother's side of the family, but tiring if kids are coming and think of all the clean up after they leave. I'd go with 1:00.
And just eat first, then have munchies for the game. Don't serve two dinners. That's enough work as it is.

4:15-4:30 the mid day game is over and the late game pregame doesn't start till 6:00. that gives the family a full 1 1/2 hours uninterupted food fest with time for discution and dessert.

2 is a good time. people can still eat breakfast and not worry about being too full for a good meal. then you can have left overs for a small dinner or snack. if you wait too late in the day people will be starving and getting grumpy...no fun for anyone

Stuffed mushrooms would be great! I'm thinking of sliced tomatoes to give the table some color and they taste so good. Or might do a tossed tomato salad. My husband would like to have a chess pie, so I might do that too.

Me - I prefer lunch time - so that then you can eat leftovers for dinner. If not - you will have to basically cook two meals and then all the snacks (if you have people watching football games, etc.)

We usually eat around lunch time. 12-1:00. Then we eat leftovers later on, like sandwiches and stuff. Gives plenty of time to walk it off! :)
