Today I made a wonderful Tuscan bean soup with warm bread for dinner tonight. It's cold and rainy outside, dampening me to the bones. As I work on my laptop, I have on one of my favorite cozy sweaters that keep me warm even on the coldest days. And I am content.
As we start this New Year and weather the long nights still ahead of us, we would do ourselves well to embrace the blessings of the season and to "hygge" our homes, as I did today.
What is hygge (pronounced HOO-Gah)? Simply put, the closest translation for this Danish word is cozy. And this new craze associated with hygge is the obsession with all things cozy, homespun and natural -- a perfect accompaniment for the winter months.
