Best. Holiday. Ever.
On this most wonderful day – Relaxation Day – we journey to a rocky, kelp-covered shore in the Shetland Islands of Scotland, where a snoozing Eurasian otter gives an inspiring demonstration of how to properly observe this holiday. The most common origin story of National Relaxation Day comes from National Slacker Day, also celebrated in Britain today. People are encouraged to ignore their phone, email and other devices, and simply take it easy. Join us, won’t you?
