I am very interested in different words in different languages and the feeling these give you. One of my favorite words in English is 'uncanny':

strange or mysterious; difficult or impossible to explain:
an uncanny resemblance

I have heard in german is the word 'Gemütlichkeit', and it seems like a nice one for the holidays. How would you define this (for any german people), and for others, what are your favorite words?
