A Cozy Winter Night at Home

A Cozy Winter Night at Home

Summer nights were full of bar crawls and dinners outside but the cold, snowy nights of winter leave me wanting to stay home. A cozy night in can be a nice change of pace from all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

What’s better than a night at home when the temperatures drop below freezing?

Whether it’s with a friend, a special someone, or just you, a night in can be the best cure to holiday stress. A little Hygge for your hectic life!

Get your jammies on!
Toss them in the dryer for a few minutes before slipping in. Warm PJs are even better!

Pour yourself a drink
Maybe a hot cocoa or maybe of my favorite cocktails or a simple glass of your favorite wine!

Enjoy a comforting meal
I love Shepard’s pie, homemade soups, and anything that comes with a side of mashed potatoes

Take a break from screens
After taking in a holiday movie, end your night with a break from screens in all forms. Read a book, listen to a podcast, knit a scarf, enjoy a time with a loved one, or phone a friend. Just take sometime to disconnect from the distractions and connect with something real.
