In terms of what is NOT hygge , Alexander says to avoid talking politics , complaining , bragging too much , talking badly about others and being negative in general , and having too much electronics . Instead , talk about uplifting memories , sing , be part of a team ( what can I do to help ?), put phones away as much as possible , be present with those you love , and be thankful for them . Take the hygge oath at the beginning of the holiday season to set the goal for your family .
“ The key is drama-free togetherness and appreciating the simple ,” notes Alexander . I hope you have a hygglige holiday season !
