Over the past several years, the word "hygge" (pronounced "hoo-gah") has made it's way into the American lexicon. If you're new to the term, we invite you to get cozy with this Danish word meaning, a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being. As we journey through the long, dark days of winter, hygge can help us embrace the simple pleasures that we may have overlooked. Christy, Stephanie, Kate, and Cate share their experiences of hygge in this conversation. We hope this chat inspires you to curl up by the fire with your favorite warm beverage, a toasty blanket, an engaging book, and a cuddly companion. Or maybe it will motivate you to take that hike through the woods or invite some friends over for dinner. There is no one right way to hygge, what's your way? Happy Hygge!
