Largescale burning aside, Danish people say a fire is the most important part of creating an atmosphere of hygge at home. In Denmark, the average person burns more than 13 pounds of candle wax per year -- more than anywhere else in the world. If you want to embrace hygge yourself, you can start by lighting some candles. They can be scented or unscented, but one that smells like baked goods can sure help to create a cozy home!
