In the Danish culture, there's something called "hygge." Translated, it means "coziness." But it means so much more. It's about being with your closest friends or family members, having/cooking a warm meal with candle light, and enjoying good conversation/company. In a way Hygge is the Dane's solution for Denmark's bone-chilling weather. It is during the cold winter months that hygge is taken advantage of.
Well that night at my friend's house was a perfect example of hygge for me. We went grocery shopping, cooked some delicious stir-fried asian noodles and sat around a table lit up with candles. We talked for hours and ate a butt-load of desserts. There was so much love that night as we followed up cuddled on the couch watching "Love Actually" and "Mean girls."
Lots of hugging, lots of talking, lots of love. HYGGE.
