My Thoughts
The title and cover are what appeal to me first. This is what reminds me of my immigrant Norwegian grandmother’s home, this is what I crave during the winter, and it’s what soothes me.. The older I get, the more I want to be as comfortable as possible in my home. Hygge is that which I continue to aspire to.
With wonderful crafts to create, I especially love how the author focuses quite a bit on upcycling. There are also a lot of super yummy sounding recipes to try your hand at, depending on your tastes and I’m absolutely going to be making quite a few things I discovered in this fantastic book - recipes and crafts alike.
Recommended, especially to craft and create with children, pre-school aged and up.

Description
Christmas is the most hyggelig of seasons, and in this book Becci shares over fifty ideas to bring a touch of Scandinavian coziness to your home this winter. The chapters cover everything from sumptuous edible gifts and homemade presents with a Nordic flavor, to traditional Danish crafts with which to decorate your space.
Projects include a wild winter birch wreath, woven julestjerner star chandelier, five-minute sock gnomes and even a Christmas tree bath scrub! Try your hand at a quick finger-crochet scarf, scented white clay ornaments, or make bangles, cushions and baubles from a pre-loved sweater. Becci’s favorite recipes for the ultimate in Danish festive comfort food cover both baking and the all-important Christmas Eve feast, plus there are traditional after-dinner games for all the family to enjoy.
