lazy Sunday

Unhurried weekend morning

A lazy Sunday is a day devoted to relaxation and unhurried leisure—sleeping in, lounging around, avoiding obligations.

The phrase captures a cultural ideal of the weekend's final day as permission to do nothing productive: We spent a lazy Sunday reading the paper and napping on the couch.

It implies contentment rather than boredom.
