A Cozy Christmas Week in Belgium 🎄 | Family, Food & Winter Days | Back Home from Japan 🇯🇵

This vlog captures my second week back in Belgium, right in the heart of the Christmas season 🎄
From quiet, cozy walks with our dog Molly to busy days preparing for Christmas, this week was full of warmth, laughter, and family time.

You’ll come along as we get ready for Christmas dinner (including a small cake mishap 🤭), open presents on Christmas Eve, enjoy an amazing Christmas Day meal, and spend Second Christmas Day playing family games with friends.

I also share a sweet mom & daughter date, lunch at a local Belgian favorite (Panos!), and a post-Christmas shopping trip to Maasmechelen Outlet Village, where I may have gone a little rogue at Maje 🛍️

This vlog is all about cozy winter days, family traditions, and enjoying Christmas back home 🤍
