Hygge doesnt have to be a winter-only thing, but it isnt that fine for much of the year.” With up to 17 hours of darkness per day in winter, and average temperatures staying around 0, people spend more time indoors as a result, says Nilsson, meaning theres greater focus on home entertaining.
12、The idea is to feel as at-home as possible, forgetting lifes worries. “Hygge works best when theres not too large an empty space around the person or people,” Nilsson adds.The recent growth in Scandinavian-themed restaurants, cafes and bars in the UK is helping to export hygge, Nilsson says. Most cu
13、stomers wont have heard of the term, but they might get a sense of it.

14、-rooted tradition in Danes life.

26、 in the world of childrens literature.Joanne Kathleen Rowling was born in England in 1965, and wrote her first story at the age of six.
