I usually put the turkey in around midnight or a little later...depending on what time I'm able to get to bed. I cook it on low so it can cook slowly and when everyone wakes up they wake up to the smell of turkey! Then in the morning I turn the heat up and check it, etc. While it's cooking we all open our gifts. By lunch it's ready. Everyone had it early afternoon, then they all flake out for the afternoon, evening everyone seems to come back from their naps our out of hiding and we enjoy a relaxing evening together.
