Many tend to associate this practice in the cooler months of Fall and Winter because it tends to focus on the act of being cozy.  Snuggling under a blanket, enjoying a warm, healing cup of tea by the fireplace (or fireplace on TV ), lighting a favorite candle while doing a calming hobby like cross stitch or scrapbooking.  Being a hyggephant, I can tell you that I never associated warm wea...

    Great articles! We will be going to see my uncle and bringing gifts from family members for him to open. Then we grocery shop and get cracking on the Christmas menu items that I need to buy and prep ahead. And we might take the pooches to the big Christmas light parade in the park that you drive thru. Weather should cooperate so that's the plan. Have a super duper weekend and have fun frolicking!
