Snuggled in for a snowy Saturday. A day planned for just hygge.
It was a dark, cold and snowy morning here. This is the kind of day for hyyge, the warm, cozy Danish practice of living in winter perfection. One should not spend this kind of snowy magic in your regular Saturday round. Well, there is always something that must be done (dig out the driveway!) Then, Snowy Day Hygge:
- Slip on warm and soft lounge wear, cozy socks and fuzzy slippers.
- Light the fire and your candles. Keep the lights low. Open all the curtains so the snow is the star of the show!
- Heat up your favorite coffee mugs. Make a simple Latte. Heat milk and froth with a hand mixer, Fill your warm mug with fresh brewed coffee, top with frothy milk, Sit in front of the fire and slowly sip. Fix another.
- Pull on your gear and head out to feed all your outside friends. It is still fairly dark, but the birds are flirting around and the furry squirrels are looking. All day, stop and gaze out the window to see who is at your feeders.
- Place a wintery dinner in the crock-pot.
- Gather all the books, magazines, journals.
- Choose your hyggekrog.
- Curl up, watch movies, read and write, nap, snack- all snowy day.
- Eat dinner early, set a beautiful table with your best china.
- Revel in the fact you have enjoyed an entire day in true hygge fashion.
Tomorrow will be here soon. Don’t rush it!
