丹麦

"It gets dark at 3:30 p.m. in the winter here, so Danes have gotten good at creating hygge, or 'cozy.' We come and go casually to each others' houses on evenings and weekends. It's about being happy at home with no one rushing to go anywhere." —Mette Borring, 48, finance executive; Copenhagen
“这里的冬天下午3点半就天黑了，所以丹麦人很擅长创造舒适的环境。我们在晚上和周末会去别人家里随意走动。大家很开心地待在家里，没有人会急着出门。”——Mette Borring，48岁，哥本哈根，财务主管。

What you can do: It's very simple, but key: Invite friends over and don't fuss too much. "If we worry about inviting people to the perfect party, the task seems overwhelming. So I lower the bar to a manageable level. I had a holiday party that was dessert and drinks—so much easier than serving dinner, and very festive!"
你可以做的是：这很简单，但也很关键：邀请你的朋友们，别太郑重其事。“如果我们担心邀请朋友的聚会能不能完美，这个任务显然太沉重了。所以我把标准降低到可以实现的水平。我办过一次假日聚会，准备了甜点和饮料，这比准备晚宴容易多了，而且非常有节日气氛！”
