Hygge.

The high season of hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is Christmas. As the dark sets in sooner in the day, follow what the Danes do. Bring light into the darkness with lots of candles, keep a pot of simmering mulled wine (Glegg) on the stove, and replenish your home with cozy, textural blankets and oversized scarves. Share this environment with friends over a simple meal on a table with soft textures with food that comforts. Linger for a while. It’s hygge!
