The time for making wishes, believing in miracles, being good, celebrating life and cozying up with a cup of hot cocoa by the fire while watching the snow fall down. Ahhhh….In other words, it’s the most hyggeligt time of the year. Huh? What’s that word again? What’s hygge? Well, if you’ve stumbled upon this post you probably already have an idea of what hygge is. But in case you’ve been living in a strange part of the internet and this is the first time you come across this word, let me share some light on this awesome concept. Hygge (pronounced hue-ga) is the Danish concept of happy living, that took the world by storm several years ago. It is roughly translated as coziness in English but it is so much more than just that. Although it is a huge trend in everything from home décor, to fashion and lifestyle in general, hygge is a feeling above all else – on my opinion, the most wonderful feeling there is. When you come home and leave all the hustle outside – that’s hygge; when you’re surrounded by your friends and you’re laughing, drinking and talking about anything and everything – that’s hygge; when you’re curled up on the couch under a soft blanket and you’re submerged entirely in a good book – that’s hygge; when you taste that first sip of coffee in the morning and you feel the world awakening in you and all the colors coming to life – that’s hygge. Hygge is the feeling of coziness, comfort, togetherness, peace of mind…quiet and warm happiness. This sounds pretty universal, right, so why is it that the Danes have taken ownership of the idea? Because they found the secret ingredient that has turned them in, objectively, the happiest nation on Earth. They do hygge intentionally, on purpose, wholly aware of it and entirely present in those hygge moments. Neat, huh? So why not learn from them and create some hygge moments for us and the people we love this season? You can feel hygge all year round, but there’s no doubt about it that winter and especially Christmas time is the most hyggelig time. There’s just something about the season (hmm….probably the freezing temperatures) that makes you constantly think of cozying up inside with good friends, good book or good wine (or all of the above). Hygge is all about appreciating the little things in life so stuffing the Christmas stockings with some hygge makes perfect sense, right? Right?!
