How much Sabbath is too much Sabbath?

January 6, and 7,  it was so cold in Minnesota that the governor declared a "snow" day.  Sadly this was only a few days after Christmas break so nobody was really in need of a break.  To compound matters it was so cold outside (hence the days off) that one couldn't even go outside.

The first day was enjoyable as we slept in, putzed around a bit, I did an art project, said the words, "no you absolutely can not spend a whole day playing X-box" repeatedly, read, made soup...  By day 2 I was playing X-box and saying, "hold on, you'll get your turn!"

I kept trying to think of it as Sabbath, but there was nothing from which to rest.  As my mother always said, "too much of anything is good for nothing."  Sabbath to truly be meaningful, also has to be necessary.
