Sunday is usually not a day that is "special", instead it is a day off from work and a day that I can catch up on some sleep. But the first Sunday after Christmas is always very special - I not only get to sleep in, but I get the first Sunday off in weeks. I absolutely relished the day and loved every minute of it. My wonderful DH made breakfast for us - ham and cheese omelettes with link sausages. YUMMY. Then he settled down to play Lord of the Rings Online for a while (for most of the day, actually), I went to the grocer to get a newspaper and a few items and then I picked up my book. Around the middle of the day we went to JC Penny's to exchange a couple of silk blouses that were too small, and then we decided to just go back home for the rest of the day. I prepped some copper pieces for my next enameling time, then read my "History of Middle Earth - Book 1" for a while. The day was relaxed, enjoyable, and very needful.
One of the wonderful gifts that my DH gave me for the holidays was the complete episodes collection of the Man From U.N.C.L.E. on DVDs. We've been watching some episodes every night. I remember how hard I worked to get my parents to permit me to watch the show when it was first broadcast. My cousin, Missy, would often come over from her home across the street and we would watch the episode together. The show was not on the "approved" list of the PTA, so it took some talking to get my parents to allow us to watch it. My parents also restricted the amount of TV that I was allowed to watch - maybe that's why I love books so much and tend to find ways to entertain myself fairly easily. Studies have also been made suggesting that less TV can equal greater creativity. Certainly something to think about.
