The details of a custom that is very popular in different countries, such as the one of gifting pink underwear. Why is it spread?

Giving a pink panty is already a classic Christmas tradition that, according to popular culture, is synonymous with good luck. Thong, shorts, less tail, cotton, lace or lycra all the same, the only thing that matters is that the panties are pink to comply with the myth.

The pink panty ritual goes from generation to generation for all the women in the family. For some it has a pagan origin linked to procreation and fertility. For others, it is related to the practice of believers who on the third Sunday of Advent lit a pink candle as a symbol of the joy generated by the arrival of Jesus in the world.

The unbelievers also contribute their version: other historians link this fact to the traditions of Victorian fashion or to the eccentric parties of the Belle Epoque where the slogan was getting the right tone for Christmas manner completely in pink, including lingerie.

It is given away on December 24 and there are two possibilities to release it. Some versions are inclined to 25 (and assign a sense of fertility), others by 31 and say that dressing something new to start the year is an advance of prosperity and good luck.
