We’re inching closer to the holidays and the temperatures are dropping … that means the blankets, fuzzy socks, and cups of tea are again making a welcome appearance.

The snuggling and lounging (hopefully by a fireplace!) can be referred to as many things. Hygge (said like hugh-guh) is a Danish word that invokes the contented coziness of the season. Today, let’s try to capture the feeling of snuggles, lounging, and being warm and cozy through song.

From MPR News: Searching for hygge: Danes create winter warmth through food, talk
