Any holiday that you consider to have a "main" meal in it... So I guess
you'll be having SPAM for your "main" meal today (or maybe even all of
them)? hehe

Depends on your beliefs; this time of year the "main" ones would be Easter,
Passover and Ostara. Pick the one, or none, that fits you best.

Having never cooked a holiday meal in my life, I had to say my answer
not in list.
I have always been invited out or eaten in a resto.

Let's just call it a huge phobia of cooking for guests and people know
it.

We'll remember that in the dinner party thread.
FYI: dinner parties do not have to stress you out.

Thank you, Barb.

I had my *main* "Holiday" meal for dinner last night, about 6:15
PM... roast beef, baked yams in jackets, asparaguys. Will have cold
roast beef on rye tonight (w/ketchup & mayo)... defrosting beef
'shroom barley zupp for tomorrow, and may make hash from the rest of
that roast... just gotta fry up a big mess o' diced spuds and onyuns.
With five fluffy felines a large roast doesn't go far.

And then there are the kinks when the kids want/need/hafta go to the
girl/boyfriend's house or the Inlaws also...Juggling between families
gets hard.

Add a bunch of divorces in that mix and you're lucky to know who is
even going to show up much less when.

Passover, we sit down at around 7, eat around 8-8:30.

Most folks I know who do Easter eat sometime in the afternoon, between
1-3.

Oesatara friends eat after circle.

And whether or not we're working that holiday, and what shift.

Ain't that the freakin' truth. <sigh> I've worked every Holiday for the
past several years. Working night shift helped, but it did put a strain
on my sister and brother in law to try to have the meal ready by noon or
so. They are not morning people. I always was willing to help cook of
course!

In my family of origin, it's always been 3pm, so that's what it is for
me, mostly. Christmas Eve dinner was at regular dinner time this year
("regular dinner time" = 7pm in this house), because I didn't want the
particular guests we were having to be hanging around all day. I wanted
them in, fed, and out. And good riddance. :-)

I'm sorry that you were obligated to invite over people you felt that
way about. I'd be particularly annoyed if it was a ruining a holiday
celebration. To date, I haven't been in that position.

I'm so lucky that I have worked office jobs almost exclusively since I
was young, so I almost always have weekends and holidays off. I don't
actually care about the holidays, being a heathen and all, but I've had
partners who cared from time to time, and it's been nice to be able to
be available.

My sister and her family (brother in law and 2 nephews) have moved back
here into town after living in Arizona for 3 years. I'd like to be able
to spend more holidays with them. I'm concerned at the moment as the
BIL is unemployed and job hunting, and may have to move to find
lucrative work. :-(

I know that I was lucky to find a new job after trying to nail one down
for 9 weeks and was only unemployed for 6 weeks, probably due to the
fact that I _wanted_ to work night shift and was willing and able to
work weekends and holidays. It's hard to find people that actually want
to work nights... plus I knew somebody at the facility that I'd worked
with previously. She will actually be my supervisor as she's the
assistant lab manager. <g>

Things are tough right now but I do so love having family here so close
by!
