Yes, you heard me right. 🤣
I now know something new.
A little fun read today I came across.
So, here it is! 🙃
Fredagsmys. 🌼
"Wait, so what is fredagsmys exactly?"
Literally translated as “cozy Friday,” the basic idea behind this Swedish ritual is simple: You relax with family or friends on the couch and have a nice, chilled-out time. Snacks are required (think: chips and pick ‘n’ mix sweets), watching TV while snuggled under a couple of blankets is usually involved, board games may be played, and many Swedes eat tacos. Yes, really.🤭
"Where does it come from?"
This tradition dates back to the 1990s and was embedded into the everyday culture when a marketing campaign for chips encouraged everyone to stay home on Fridays and enjoy some junk food after a long week of working hard. There are similar concepts in Norway (fredagskos) and Denmark (fredagshygge), but I like to think that us Swedes do it best. 🙃
Regardless of whether you’re embracing fredagsmys with family, friends or four-legged pals, the main principles are the same: spending time together with loved ones and relaxing while enjoying some easy-to-make food (hence why many Swedes set up a serve-yourself taco bar but anything that requires minimal cooking will work). By building this day into your week, it takes the pressure off coming up with an amazing or big way to mark the end the work week. ❤️
And as for the rest of the weekend? Well, Saturdays are for lördagsgodis—Saturday sweets. But that’s a story for another time. 😜
