Task the Second: The Silent Nights:
– Get your hygge on! Put on your fuzziest socks, light a candle, and spend some time (reading) in front of the fireplace or your coziest nook. Post a picture if you want!
And:
Task the Third: The Holiday Party:
– Read a book where a celebration is a big part of the action.
Sofa, pillows, favorite blanket, favorite black velvet slippers, favorite childhood dinner and a mug of spicy chocolate tea, volume 3 of the audio collection of Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey / Maturin cycle on my living room speakers, with Rex Stout’s And Four to Go (4 short stories, 3 of these involving holiday celebrations) to be finished later … I’d say that should count as two birds (tasks) with one, err, shot, shouldn’t it?
Very cosy! Actually, in Swedish we have something like ‘hygge’ too – we call it ‘mys’. Some people do it every Friday – Friday ‘mys’ with potato chips and other unhealthy snacks in front of the tv. But of course the Christmas atmosphere/spirit is a bit more. Especially if you have books. 🙂
Books are key! 🙂
Definitely. 🙂
