Christmas is full of traditions and one is that: that men buy red underpants, and women, a bra and panties of the same color to enter the coming year in the best possible way, which in this case will be 2022.
But not everyone knows the exact reasons why we dye our most intimate clothes in these extremely special weeks for so many families. And best of all: there are those who believe certain legends that are not entirely true.
Luck?
Because there are many people who believe that the main reason why we wear red underwear is because it is lucky. The goddess fortune will reward us in the months to come and we will have more personal and professional wishes fulfilled.
But that is not entirely true, although it is one of the most widespread stories in after-dinner these days. What is real in the emotion of all beliefs is that the origin of this way of welcoming the year dates back to nothing more and nothing less than the Middle Ages.
A red magnet of emotions
Decades have passed and generations have bequeathed a rite that surpasses all continents, and there are already thousands of families that wear something red in their underwear in order to attract prosperity, peace or love.
It is more a mere matter of entertainment and fun than something almost tangible, since there is no documentation to prove the origin of this custom. In fact, if you receive a gift in that context of something red, for many it has a double emotional component if possible.
Red does not necessarily have to appear in underpants or panties; You can also make an appearance through red ribbons, or other colors in other countries, which also give color to our Christmas parties.
