And the split pea soup is delicious.

Yes definitely into hygge.
You do have to be careful though that hygge-type sweaters aren't made of prickly wool wink

I keep reading about the Scandinavian concept of hygge, it seems to be all the rage.

Looking closely at it, it is really nothing more than what I do anyway but have never given it a name. It's about creating a cosy atmosphere, in my case at home but it can apply to many places. I've always enjoyed being cosy, reading a book, snuggled under a blanket, reading, watching my favourite programmes, drinking hot chocolate and eating cake. Or, sharing some of the above with a good friend/friends, casual meals by candlelight, good conversation, mellow mood music, etc. etc. In fact, I've being doing this since the 1970s but never called it anything in particular but, hey, now I'm trendy, lol.
