Heavy socks, blanket, fireplace or lit candle, music in the background or a program on TV, a glass of wine to drink on the sofa: if in winter the evenings you like more and more spend them so, in the comfort of home instead of restaurant, at the cinema, out for a drink with friends, know that you are not alone.

The new trend from Finland

It's called Kalsarikännit, comes from Finland and is a new trend, or the art of dedicating themselves to relaxing in the home, after an intense and stressful day, wearing comfortable clothes (pajamas or just underwear), doing what we like best , sipping some wine or a drink (do not exaggerate!) and with no intention of going out. Better yet, then, if you are alone.

An official thing

This mood is also told by the official website of the promotion of Finland, produced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Communications, and illustrated with some nice emoji. There is also a book that explains it, released last June: Päntsdrunk: Kalsarikänni, The Finnish Path to Relaxation of Miska Rantanen.
