Default settle a debate... when do you eat on easter?

There's a debate here at work on easter supper / dinner...

If someone told you to be at their house for easter supper- and they didn't give you a time, what time would you assume the easter supper to start? (and don't say you'd just ask them )

There's actually 2 debates here- one debate on "dinner" / "supper" semantics- "dinner" is in the evening whereas "supper" is in the afternoon.
The second debate is what time you eat easter supper...

so for the sake of the poll- we'll just consider "supper" & "dinner" mean the same thing.

90% of us here at work say any holiday dinner / supper on a sunday starts around 2ish- there are a few people who say 5-6ish.

what say you!

Dinner can be anytime from noon to 6pm if it is the main meal of the day. Supper is always at night. Holiday dinners like Easter for us are between 2-3pm.

Supper (or dinner) has always been an evening thing to me. 5-6 pm area.

Since I'm working till noon, that's about when it will be at our house, if I'm the one fixing it.

I can't vote because you don't have a coice for me. I eat dinner when the wife says its dinner time.

I remember growing up, the Catholic church always rang the bell for their evening service at 6pm. Mom knew we could here that all over our neighborhood, so that was the dinner bell. If you weren't home then or shortly after, you might get leftovers.

My mom likes to eat early, like 2-3, so when I go over her house that's when we eat. Otherwise I usually don't eat breakfast until 4 and dinner is 9-10 pm.
