At our recent back-to-school feast, I gave Claire and Jane their own small
Hygge candles to place in their dorm windows as a reminder
of home and their Scandinavian heritage.
They each sent me photos of their candles glowing
from their windows. So cute!
And Lottie has her own little Hygge candle glowing at home.
When she was 10, she made this cute pumpkin candle holder.
It's one of my favorite Halloween decorations.

Lottie in North Carolina:
Studies conducted by the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen found
that 85% of Danes associate hygge with candles, at least 70%
of the Danish population light a candle once/week, and 28%
light candles every single day.
And we’re not talking one single candle here: the study found that 31%
of Danes light more than five candles at a time.
That's me!!
