"That's so White"

We are exactly one week away from Thanksgiving today. Cory and I will be going over to our friends house dinner this year. And the me and the other guest are bringing the sides. I e-mailed the hostess to ask her what time she was going to serve dinner.
She replies "I was thinking we would serve dinner at 5 and people could come over around 3." As I am reading this I'm thinking wha wha what! 5 that is so late! Me and my family never eat Thanksgiving dinner later than 2!
So, this got me to thinking does everybody else eat Thanksgiving dinner that late? I'm I the one that's out of line? I asked my friend Kirsten about it and she said they were eating at 7 because that's what time her boyfriend will be home from work. I still felt very strong in my conviction to eat dinner early. Then I got the following e-mail from my Kirsten this morning that only validated my beliefs. Please read below.

I'm sitting on the train to Manhattan, and this Hispanic girl is sitting across from me...seats that face each other. She's talking to someone on her phone and she said "we are going to my boyfriend's place for thanksgiving after we see you all. Can you believe it, his family eats at 5pm. That's so white! We eat at 2pm."Thought you may think that one was funny.


She was right I thought it was very funny and very true. There is a happy ending to my story, the hostess of my Thanksgiving dinner has been kind enough to push dinner up from 5 to 2:30. Awwee another Thanksgiving crisis averted. :)

So what do you think? Do you eat early or late on Thanksgiving?
