Issue 33: 10 Ways to Feel Cozier This Christmas
A few years ago I read a book about the Danish concept of hygge, which roughly translates to coziness or charm or, I don’t know, specialness.

| I loved all the meaty moral and philosophical dilemmas wrapped into this riveting plot of a girl and her anti-technology father (even though the dad was truly insufferable, IMO). | |

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan.
