Aww love this one! My fave is watching snow fall outside while listening to crackly Billie Holiday vinyl.

In related news, I still regret not buying a print triptych from a coffee shop in Door County that each had Norweigan illustrations, and the definitions for Hygge, Fika, and Lagom. (Only learned Lagom from the print: la-gom. Swedish. Not too little, not too much, just the right amount. The optimal level of contentment. Balance and modetation.) Alas!

Someone beat me to the “depresso” joke. Solid gold!

Two things:

1. I strongly considered being Kirsten dressed as Santa Lucia for Halloween this year but decided it was too niche and

2. Priory of the Orange Tree! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
