That Friday Feeling

You know how when you're young, Friday nights are entirely for going out, and a Friday night in is deemed to be something of a failure (unless it's a party of course). Then when you get older and you're either too tired by the end of the week to do anything, or you have kids and it's too much hassle to get a babysitter so you stay in. But even so, there's always a feeling that Friday evening should be a little bit different to the other days; a mini celebration that the working week has finished once more and there are two days of relative freedom to come.

The Swedes of course, have a word for it - fredagsmys - which is basically the act of staying in and relaxing on a Friday night with family and friends, having snacks, drinks and maybe watching tv.

OLW (the equivalent of Walkers I guess) have even used it as the basis for an advert:



If you're not going out tonight, enjoy your fredagsmys.
