Over the weekend, I read this article about the Swedish term “Fredagsmys,” which translate to “Friday night coziness.”
Instead of partying, it encourages you to get as cozy as possible at the end of the week to unwind. Um- yes, please! Except, can I have Fredagsmys on Saturday?
This week, I had a very busy Friday, even working at night (which I hate!) and then I worked Saturday morning. When I got home, I put on my pajamas, plunked down on the couch, and got ready for an afternoon and evening of coziness- and laziness.
I took a couch nap and watched two football games. Since I wasn’t doing any cooking we ordered pizzas…
and yes, I did have a small regression. My Christmas pajamas were washed and ready to be packed away, but I snatched them out of the bin for one more weekend, because they’re SO comfortable and cheering.
After some serious relaxing on Saturday, I was up for a little more action Sunday. To keep the house from completely falling apart, I cleaned, did laundry, and went grocery shopping. But there was more football, so I broke out the new charcuterie board!
Just to clarify, this is all vegan! Here are some of the products I used:
I absolutely love this board- it even has little signs you can write on. I didn’t really NEED to label anything, but the signs were so cute I couldn’t resist.
Anyway, after a weekend spent largely in my pajamas, on the couch with my cat (where I belong) I was ready to go out into the world again on Monday.
Have you heard of “Fredagsmys?” Do you think it will become as popular as “hygge?”
What’s your favorite way to spend a Friday night?

I have not heard of the Fred-a-whatever’s, but I like it, especially in the dead of winter. I typically like to do something Friday evening, because I feel like that makes the weekend feel longer. As in, ‘I wake up and feel like Wow that was fun and I still have 2 days to weekend.’ We have Fri night bball games a lot, which I am down for. Also, I spend my week with tots and babies. I like to be social, so by Friday I am usually ready to connect with adults, or cheer for my kid while chatting with adults in the stands.
That said, I do enjoy a cozy evening at home with a few throw blankets and a movie. Or a family game. That pizza looks SO good. We do not eat out often and almost never order pizza. I love that your Christmas pjs got another wear.
