I love Fridays because it is the end of the week for me and our Sabbath starts after I light candles. I run around the apartment getting ready for it and when time to light candles no computer and no TV for me till Sunday. Most people if do not go out after the Sabbath do their laundry and relax and may go back to the computer. I go back to things on Sunday morning. It is a peaceful time. Families eat and spend time together and sing. When I am on our porch I can hear them when their windows are open and I know it is a Sabbath. There are those of us that use what is called a plata on the Sabbath. We plug it in the wall before the Sabbath starts and put our food on and I cover it with something so the food heats up and then eat it. I am putting a picture of one I found here to show you. It is a day that one relaxes everything. I sit out on our porch in nice weather and read a book and my cat will come to get her pets.

I like Sunday the most where I can have time to relax and have time to bond with my family.

@Hannihar -- absolutely! As my friends (who are very southern) say, ain't no shalom like that Shabbat shalom!

It used to be Friday naturally when I worked. Now it doesn't matter.

My favorite day of the week is Sunday, because it is our family day. This is the day when our entire family gather and eat lunch together, play games with the kids, and many more. Sunday is indeed special to us so I'm looking forward to it every week. Anyway, I love the fact that you have a no computer day, I think I would suggest that to my family so we can have more quality time right?
