Efficient Heating with Biomass Fuel
Getting snuggly at home is what it is all about during the winter months. It’s what winter has always been about for the Danish. The term ‘hygge’ (pronounced hue-guh) is a Danish word that means cosy, charming or special to acknowledge a feeling or moment with friends or alone of, well, cosiness. The UK is now in lockdown 3.0 sending us all back into our homes after a brief but joyous few weeks in December where life seemed to almost go back to normal. Now that we’re shut indoors again, how can we go about making Lockdown 3.0 a little more cosy than crazy? Read on to find out how to make Lockdown 3.0 in your home all about getting ‘hygge’.
Danes are the happiest people in the world according to the 2016 World Happiness Report. And that number 1 position might well be due to the fact that they practice hygge. Hygge was born out of the fact that Danes spend a huge chunk of the year in the dark. The “Danish Ministry of Climate and Energy showed that there were only 44 hours of sunlight in Denmark in November. That’s just over 10 hours a week – less than an hour and a half a day.” In order to get through such dark, long winters, the savvy Scandinavians thought of hygge. Here’s how to create your own little Denmark at home this winter. 
How to Be Hygge At Home During Lockdown 3.0
1. Books
The Danes love books, but not as much as the Icelandic. In Iceland, there is even a holiday dedicated to books. Jolabokaflod (Christmas Book Flood) began during World War II once Iceland had gained independence from Denmark. On Jolabokaflod (Christmas Book Flood), our Christmas Eve, Icelandic people give presents of books and then curl up by the fire for the evening to read their new books as a family. Now that does sound hygge. It would certainly make a change from a night in front of the TV!
2. Comforting & Healthy Food
Cook warm, rich comforting stews and casseroles packed full of vegetables to get yourself through the next few months. Vegetables that are rich in Vitamin D will get you through, so why not try out a few new recipes?
3. Treat yourself to a new blanket and sofa cushions
Splash out on a snuggly new blanket and sofa cushions to breathe some new life into your sofa and make it a place you want to curl up and read a good book.
4. Cocoa by candlelight
Can’t sleep? Try a warm milky drink before going to bed to lull yourself to sleep. It worked when you were a child, it’ll work now too.
5. Take Vitamin D
The Danes, like lots of other people in Eastern European countries, take a Vitamin D supplement everyday as they see so little sun. Vitamin D is known as the “sunshine vitamin” after all.
