I was wondering how you all spend your Sundays. Do any of you take it as a full day of rest, ie. not shopping, making sure work is done, etc. before Sunday?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It is what it is.
I usually try to. My favorite Sundays consist of Mass, praying and reading and listening to praise & worship music all day.
However those days are infrequent. Typically I am visiting family or sometimes as today I am doing youth ministry prep work for the week because registration deadlines are tomorrow and I still have kids popping in with forms.
I certainly strive to not go shopping unless it's a crisis....like I'm bleeding with no bandaids!
I don't do housework or business work usually.
I like to just spend the day with God, peaceful and focused.
Great question....I'm interested to see how others spend their Sundays too.

Sundays we get up go to Mass- then I teach and am home at about noon. We hang out, play outside, go to the park every now and then, watch a movie. We never do laundry or other chores (unless I absolutely must wash diapers), I let my kids skip making their beds, and usually if my husband will be home I have thrown some Sunday dinner in the crock pot to be ready at dinner time. We try to spend our time relaxing together as a family.
It is very, very rare that we would go to the store or even to a restaurant on a Sunday. Every now and then we have a true neccesity that prompts a trip [such as milk, toilet paper etc. that was unexpectedly used up or dropped (one Saturday night Lucy dropped the new triple size roll that was to last us til Monday in the toilet]- or a family occasssion that would prompt a rare trip to a restaurant.
We try really hard to not do anything that would require somebody else to be working at a non-essential job. Obviously we don't live without power for the day- but retail and restaurant workers could easily be home! And so we try to avoid going to those places.
When my husband is home- it really is a very restful day for all of us. I love SUndays!!

Sundays are a special day for us too. We go to Mass--drive one of our daughters and her children to church and her oldest girl to CCD. (Her husband is not Catholic and he doesn't take them to Church and he won't go with us.) We get a bite to eat afterwards. Sometimes the daughter will ask to stop by a store to pick up some necessities, otherwise we do no shopping on Sundays. No laundry or unnecessary work is performed either.
My husband is a convert from Southern Baptist, and he is used to Sunday as a special day for God and no work. It took me a little while to get used to it--I'd forget to have the laundry done or need something at the store or...but now that it's ingrained, I like it and really look forward to Sundays--they're now so "special". About the only time I have a tiny "hesitation" about this is when it's been raining all week long and the only sunny day to mow the grass is Sunday.
