so yeah, whatever you give up, you don't have to give up on sundays

I've learned from my friend the Catholic priest that Sundays don't count during Lent. Six weeks, plus the few days of Easter Week, makes 46 days. So for Lent to come in at the required 40 days, Sundays have to go. (My Protestant brain may have gotten the math wrong there, but you get the general idea.)

Yeah...but if you're old school (like my family is) the whole Sunday loophole is a cop out. So...I've never had the privilege.

See, that actually makes sense to me. Protestantism as practiced where I am from is pretty old school too. Loopholes not available.
