We don’t really do family time?
We DO do the whole koselig & hygge thing (koselig is making time spent warm/perfect/delightful/oomphy… like hot chocolate & pajamas when driving around looking at Christmas lights; or a “tent” and fairy lights when watching a movie, or picnics with baskets, blanket, & bubbles; or bearskin rugs & fireplace & hot springs -or jacuzzi- in the snow… whatever the event, making it special? Traditions? Rituals? Koselig is the root of “Cozy”, but cozy doesn’t directly translate. Sparkly, special, memorable even if normal?)
Hygge, is more individualized. Making something special/connective to an individual, rather than to the event. Often for one’s self? Like a hot shower & cold beer, or bubble bath and candles and glass of wine. Personalized hedonism. But also created by one person for another. Making something everyday extraordinary. Even if normal.
Koselig is whenever it’s friends/family.
Hygge is whenever it’s one’s self, or for one another.
Both are about oomph’ing up the average.
