The idea of Hygee is "cultivating experiences, moments and spaces in your life and home that restore rejuvenate and fulfill you.
I looked up the elements of a Hygee lifestyle and there are 6 Togetherness, Light, Food and Drink, Clothing, Home Decor, and Wellness.Since we have pretty much covered decor, and light and food is the theme is for next week when we discuss the Kitchen let's look at another element of Hygee that can add to happiness.
Clothing: think clothing, bulky sweaters, sweat pants, oversize scarfs and fluffy socks, warm mittens and hats. It is about layers and the bigger, the better. Think about the warmth you'll feel as you go shopping for you Christmas tree fresh garland, and wreath in the snow. Taking a long walks with your loved ones at night to see the neighbors outdoor decorations. If I recall from reading the book the Danes do not drive much. They are most likely to be seen riding bikes, and walking to work and social events after work. So the clothing does play a big part.
For us, our clothing may be centered around pictures, office parties, and church activities. How does clothing play a role in your Holiday season?
DH and I can usually go to our closet and pull out something to wear. I have a couple of options that are perfectly suitable for the occasions we attend during the holidays.
