"As our homes become increasingly Hygge-esque, we turn to the work of [textile designer so-and-so]."
(Why capitalized?)
Are these Hallmark movies streaming somewhere? You make me want to try one. (Caveat emptor...)

You can find some at YouTube. Look for hallmark christmas movie. A Bramble House Christmas is, uhh, bram-new and thoroughly sickening. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks--I watched 3:31 minutes, felt I got the gist of it, which I'm glad of
ReplyDelete---it's like a masterclass in Hyggeness!
It sounds like you know your limits. Too much might make you revolt against the hygge — nothing but fluorescent lights and ice water. :)
ReplyDeleteI watched the promotional bit for it and wondered if its aim was to entice viewers or completely turn them off. If the latter, SUCCESS.
ReplyDeleteI just watched the preview, and I have to say — it’s not nearly as awful as the movie.
ReplyDeleteI can see the appeal of these movies though---just a matter of what hits the spot.
