Nancy, Sean and "Hyggelig"

"Hyggelig: (sort of pronounced hoogilee) is a wonderful Danish word that has echoes or warmth, comfort and happiness. A house can be "hyggelig" for example if it just exudes a warm friendly feeling and spirit.

Nancy is, of course, an exponent of hyggelig. Part of what she does whenever she is around Sean is to make a nice friendly environment for him. When he gets tucked up in bed at night she is careful to tuck his dyne (comforter) so he is wrapped and comfortable, kisses him on the ear, maybe a little tickle just to end the day on a laugh, make sure his night light is on and that a glass of Gatorade is on the dresser.

Nancy is all about hyggelig.
