Koselig {Koo-sh-lee} is a concept which is deeply rooted in Norwegian culture. I would describe it as the feeling of coziness and being comfortable, but it often involves being in a social setting with others rather than being alone.
The downtown merchants have created a week of classes, tastings, demos for a spending extra special time with family this year.
