What will you do this week Erev Shabbos on Chanukah, even less time. Especially those that will party on late Thursday night Chanukah, they won’t begin cooking at 7:00 am.
I don’t work on Friday, so as long as I finish my pre-Shabbat chores (cleaning the bathroom, sweeping the living room and stairs, throwing away old newspapers, setting up the oil and wicks, setting the timers on A/C or heaters, washing the dishes, setting up the plata), and as long as my wife doesn’t need anything else from the makolet . . . I have time.
