How to party like a Swede

Posted on April 16, 2021 by Dave Ashton

It’s “National Wear Your PJs To Work Day“…and if you’re like the Swedish, you’ll keep ’em on after work!

They celebrate fredagsmys…pronounced frey-dags-mees…or literally “cozy Friday”.

It started in the 1990’s as an effort to get Swedes to kick back and relax at home with family or friends rather than rushing out to Happy Hour…and it’s become even more popular in the past year for obvious reasons.

So how do you fredagsmys?

MSN has your step-by-step guide…good luck!
