Hygge is a Danish concept that, loosely translated, encompasses feelings of well-being and cozy contentment. Interestingly, this Danish word is related to the sixteenth-century Norwegian term “hugga”, meaning “to comfort” or “to console,” which is related to the English word “hug.” Here are a few inspiring quotes which further explain hygge: “Hygge is like a warm hug.”  “Put on a pot of coffee, heat up a cinnamon bun & snuggle up. That’s hygge.”  “Hygge is all about atmosphere. If it’s raining, jump in your rubber boots and your rain coat and go for a walk. It’ll clear your mind completely.”  “It’s about the small things in life. Like warm socks. A dim-lit room. A hot cup of tea in your favorite mug.”  Avondale Regional Library has created “Hygge Cozy Kits” for the winter season.  Beginning Wednesday, January 12, and throughout the rest of this month, just come to the Avondale Library Circulation Desk to pick up your free kit.  Now, relax and enjoy!
