I see from some googling that "cozy, ease, tranquility and well-being." is meant to be close (but no cigar) - I can see how that's not right either. I really like mores's extra words too, but I they're more just adding to the pile of words that sum a total.
Of course, being English, we can always just use "gezellig" enough that it eventually becomes an "English" word (that is, makes it into the OED
).
Cheers,
Marc (whose parties are definitely not "gezellig" - they're definitely a few steps past "gezellig")
