CHRISTMAS DIARIES DAY TWENTY-TREE (Philip made me make that pun...)

- čas přidán 22. 12. 2020
- The time has come to put up the chateau's main Christmas tree! As usual, it turns out to be a far more complex task than expected, but the result is magical!!!
As we reach the end of the advent calendar, we're filming in real time - each day you're seeing the events of that day at Lalande, which is why the last videos are premiering later than usual!
It's that time of year again - CHRISTMAS AT THE CHATEAU has begun! Happy Advent!
Here is the twentieth video in our daily Advent Calendar series. Each day will bring a different surprise - but you can expect a mixture of exuberant decorations, seasonal florals, delicious food, gift ideas, musical treats and even a little Christmas carpentry...
***To download this year's Lalande wrapping paper designs, based on my father's medieval paintings, the link to the shop is***:
sellfy.com/cha...
They are available at €5 per image, or €10 for five colours.
I had hoped to have the papers printed in order to sell them ready-made, but with all of the Covid postal delays that's proved impossible. I had mine printed by Zazzle, and scaled the pattern up online so that I have both regular and large scale versions here for Christmas. You're all welcome to do the same in order to have large rolls made, or to simply print them on your home printers for very small parcels! But please only use them for private (not commercial) use.
To see last year's 2019 Day 23: • THE CHATEAU ADVENT CAL...
Going to have withdrawals when advent is finalised, however I want Stephanie to get some good rest! Please Stephanie take some time for you to heal!
I may have to watch over again, then see last years, and watch again.
@@annaibarra3447 I know it!
I think most of us will miss them, last year I was really sad when stephanie and Michael had finished advent. Merry Christmas everyone from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺🤶🎅🦔🐭🦚
@@michellehaynes7055 Merry Christmas from USA
@@michellehaynes7055 that happens after Big Brother finishes too
I love how Philip lights up when he sees something cute, like the hedgehog or squirrels. Never lose that quality in you dear Philip.
Yes but I’m so glad he bought the hedge hog.
@@valeriethompson3584 But will treasure hedgehogs 4-ever
woodsey animals are our friends! i concur on this sentiment stated by Leonor! (btw... whatever happened to the original hedgehog family?) 🦩
Lalande: Steph comes home with a 5 meter tree for a 3 meter high room..
Somewhere in Africa: "Oh, Stephanieeeee!!!!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
:D
Honestly, I thought this comment was genius😁😂
I spluttered my tea... perfect! lol
I can't believe we have only two days to go. Will miss the daily videos, 🥰
Need to extend them to twelfth night!!!!!
One day below the equator🤣😂🥳
Soooo sad!
Right?? What are we all going to do when they're over!
We have been a bit spoiled with daily videos. 👍🏼❤️🌲🇨🇦
That pun has Philip's name all over it!
I love how Stephanie cheerfully and levelly justified getting a gigantic tree as though it's the most obvious choice.
Phillip deserves the hedgehog after all he did for Stephanie at the hospital!!!!
ABSOLUTELY😉🦔🦔🦔🌲
I missed Stephanie being in hospital?? Then she was in hospital summer or spring of 2021.... and still do not understand what Stephanie is suffering from. I wondered if Michele and Stephanie were a couple. But just found out Phillip and Stephanie are a couple. So happy for them both.
Stephanie and Phillip make such a fun team!
Like I did in the live chat, I fully support Phillip’s hedgehog addiction. He needs a hedgehog coat of arms!!
I enjoyed the video, I cried once again while they were singing. As I am in New York, and my family is in Tennessee. This gives me hope, maybe next year will be a better. And I can visit my family without a pandemic
Hang in there! We are all going through it together. Because of Stefani and LaLande we are all one big family sharing warm feelings. I was from NYC and now send love to all my fellow Lalanders from Maine🇺🇸
It is heartbreaking what this pandemic has done to so many people in the world. My prayers for 2021 is for better health to all, all over the world. All the best Jones and may your Christmas be blessed and may you be reunited with your loved ones soon. Because of the pandemic we could not visit our kids and grand kids in Swaziland or they us.
@@rosalotter4029 Hello 👋🏽 Rosa, thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot! I lived in Switzerland for a little while in old town Zürich. I genuinely miss the opera! May life continue to treat you and your family kindly.
@@janetcorey5102 Hello Janet, NYC here too, thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot! I hope life continues to treat you kindly!
@@MrPrentissDJones Thank you so much. Stay strong and stay safe, this too, will pass.
I’m getting National Lampoons Christmas vacation vibes with that tree 😂🤣 was waiting for a squirrel to appear 🎄❄️🎅
😂”Squirrel!!!” 😂😂
And a cat chewing the wires behind the tree!!
Now when you pack everything up this year label the boxes for each room
The most beautiful Christmas tree I have ever seen! The men did a stunning job!
I usually don't enjoy the Christmas season but your videos have made it a little easier and joyful
One of the prettiest trees I have ever seen.
I totally agree with Stephanie, get a really big tree , cut the straggles off the top and bottom and end up with a beautiful tree , then if there are any bare spots I use fir garlands to fill it in. This year I’ve got a pencil tree though as I don’t have room for a bigger one😥. So I am really enjoying seeing everyone else’s big lovely trees. Wishing you all a very lovely Christmas and pray for the world to be a better place in 2021. 🎄🙋🏼🥰
I think leaving the crown on..leaves the tree in better shape..you need the top to put the angel on.
@@susanbrown2909 I’ve never had a star or a angel on mine 😄
Hahaha Philip and his puns. I gotta say, I've really enjoyed having a new video to look forward to every single day during advent. Stephanie, you're amazing ❤
Davey has the looks of royalty!
Davey has the stories of privilege
That's actually been said in comments before before when he visited, so it's a common thought apparently! 😊
@@mparker6823 I had read them, but I thought so as well.
Yes, what is his story? I can't tell from his accent.
@ Carol Marcin he's a Garden Architect from Belgium. Volunteered at LaLande this summer and also helped make garden plans while he was thee. Wasn't sure if he spoke French, German or Dutch because all 3 are spoken in Belgium, but from the vlogmas from a couple days ago; Twenty-Tree, it appeared he was singing in Dutch.
I come from the part of Greece that is the most famous for the cheese. Not only do I share Stephanie's love for cheese, but every time I see her happily buying cheese, I want to put together a big box of cheese and send it to her!
I have to admit I have a crush on Mr Potts. He looks cute showing off the camera ornament.
You are not alone
Hes funny, smart, and gorgeous!!
All the mens anf ladies around Stephanie are Awesome and Wonderful. They all have that " je ne sais quoi""!!
He did look extra adorable didn’t he. I think whenever someone has pure joy on their face they glow ❤️
@@teresaobrien663 That is so true
I will never look at a hedgehog again without thinking of Philip and his charming smile! The tree is beautiful! Merry Christmas to you all
Every year my mother wanted a perfect tree so my father would drill holes into the trunk of the tree and then addextra branches to make the tree look perfectly shaped. They would also secure the tree by tying it to the wall surreptitiously so it could never fall over because there was so many ornaments all over the tree
Watching Stephanie and co. from Maine USA and wishing everyone a very Happy Winter Solstice and a better new year!
ForShari, I am in South Portland, Maine. Merry Christmas!
I grew up in Kennebunkport and still spend summers at Kennebunk Pond. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!! ❤️
WOW, I am from Southern Maine, USA
I grew up across the border In new Brunswick canada!!
@@choochalah , New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are my favorite provinces.
My story to tell of decorating the tree is ... my dad made a plywood box to elevate the tree to make more room for gifts and after one year he added his own twist, he mounted the box on a turn table. One person on the floor turning the box while another put lights etc on, to choruses of slower, faster....
I’m in the USA and would love to know what time on you tube could I watch CAT singing in 9 lessons in carols ? What a BLESSING SHE IS !! Thx so much love all of y’all !
Philip is delightful with his woodland creatures
My husband: I just installed your new TV and streaming apps and you’re on your phone?
Me: shhhhh Stephanie is talking.
Merry Christmas everyone!!
Stay safe and healthy !!
Do you forget sometimes the we can put Stephanie on pause?
Blasphemous I know🤣😂🥳
lol
😆
😂 totally understand!
My husband finally told me to just watch CZcams on the big tv to see what the fuss was about. 😂
To all the Laplanders... You are my Christmas Stars this year!! Happy Holly Daze to all!!!
Lalanders. Lapland is somewhere else.
I should have put my glasses on! LOL Thanks for the spellcheck.
You nearly gave me a heart attack with the tree manoeuvring.
Is this mummy? Lol
It’s beautiful and way to go men, you did an awesome job! I love the singing and the fact you sang it in different languages. Merry Christmas everyone!!
I always buy myself a few gifts so I get exactly what I want. Then I can’t be disappointed with the others. 🤣
Reminds me of my tree 5 yrs ago wherein there was so many lights (2,500) I had to buy a dimmer.
The tree is STUNNING!!!! 🎄👌😯It looks like it came straight out of a children's Christmas story book x
Oh Happy Birthday Michael's Mom , it's My Birthday today too 😁 I'm 66 young ! Happy Holidays Everyone from Louisiana USA
Happy birthday 🎂 🥂🎄🎁💕
Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas.
🍾🥂HAPPY BIRTHDAY🥳
Happy Birthday, Dinag
A very happy, happy birthday ❤️🌹🌹
I loved this blog. My brother bought and wrapped himself a gift one Christmas. When he opened it on Christmas morning he realised he already had one! 🙄
Oh that's got me laughing so hard Emma! 😅🤶😂🎄🌟
My friend bought my sister the same earrings two years in a row...
Nice Tang horse..
Lol I’m sure I’ve bought the same gift twice for friends and family thinking I was an intuitive gift giver 🤣
@@marielcalder103 I laughed so hard at the time Mariel ☺️
Michael is so funny.
Stephanie you must be exhausted, I’m tired just watching you run around... Zoom Zoom Zoom. You and your team have brightened a lot of people’s days with your Vlogs and thank you for bringing so much joy to those of us who are alone this Xmas. God bless you and may you and all those at Lalonde have a very Merry Christmas 🎄
So glad Stephanie and Marie get to be together at this time. Must be very special xx
Especially with mummy away staying with Percyand no Gerald,stuck here in the U.K these are truly a loving family of friends in a chateau filled with love and laughter.
Phillip, we have the same taste in Christmas ornaments! I'm glad you got your hedgehog!! 🥰
I will truly miss the daily videos. I know that you will love having a break however. SO GLAD you are feeling better, it has been a very eventful year I am also delighted that you have had so many wonderful people around you to help. So much accomplished, you and la Lande have moved forward and there has been a great deal of happiness. Thank you for sharing all of this with us.. I love all of the extra 'critters' that Philip has added. They honestly made me giggle each time something came out. Many hugs and much love to you all.
As you all were singing around the grand tree-- I joined in singing ,"Oh Christmas" in Estonian... very moving ... thank you 💁MERRY CHRISTMAS , LaLande friends 🎄
And I joined in singing "O Tannenbaum" in German, from Marysville, WA, USA...thank you for bringing back a lost tradition of my Christmases past. I wonder how many languages were heard from around the world as we celebrated this beautiful tree! Merry Christmas to all and I wish you Peace, Joy and Love in the New Year.
Wish you all at Lalande and all viewers a wonderful Merry Christmas. Stay safe and healthy. What an amazing year this was with you all and the Christmas tree is just the perfect metaphor for the spectacular success for the Chateau Diaries. Hope you can still enjoy Christmas, even with the Covid restrictions. ❤️ Thanks Stephanie for all the effort and work you put into vlogs and Vlogmas. Frohe Weihnachten! ❤️☺️
Love it how you "push" Michael to do things Stephany. You know him well 😘. The singing at the end was touching. Ooh dennenboom ooh dennenboom 🎶🎄
Perfect! What would we do without You Stephanie and all your friends. Constant entertainment and interest throughout the year, you deserve every penny you earn. Merry Christmas and Healthy New Year to you all.
It’s Christmas Eve in Australia, the next vlog will be out during church on Christmas Day for me, so I will take this opportunity to wish all at Lalande a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for allowing us to share in your joy.
Merry Christmas Julie🦘🌲 Im in WA.
Merry xmas for tomorrow from wellington, new zealand.
Merry Christmas from Melbourne🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christmas from Ohio!
Merry Christmas from Melbourne
Philip is just adorable and beautiful, glad he's staying at La Lande for Christmas he's so lovely
most beautiful tree ever, thanks to the hedgehogs!
The Christmas song at the end, absolutely stunning. Perfectly Beautiful.
It was my birthday the day Stephanie was ill, 21st. I was feeling soiry for myself because it is never celebrated for me but I have to say these vlogs are cheering me up. That tree is fabulous!
Merry Christmas to all Lalanders everywhere 🎄🎅⛄🎁🎉🎀❤️❤️
Awww..Happy Belated Birthday. You need a cake and a present 🎂🍰 🎁
@@chasethecat3839 I haven't had a cake or party since I was 9, I'm 51 lol. It's so close to xmas no one bothers. I'm used to it by now. Thank you for the wishes though, I appreciate it x
Alecia speight, bake yourself a cake and once we are able to get together again, invite someone over for cake and tea - or coffee -Lalande style.
Happy birthday Alicia. Many more happy years.
Happy Birthday Alicia 💖
The memories of each bauble/display is what makes decorating during holidays special as well as the company sharing the time together. Happy Holidays to all!!!
Here's a tip that only took me 40 years of stringing lights to realize. To keep from getting dizzy and nearly passing out when going around and around and around the tree with the lights ... stand in one place and put them on more vertically. So with your three strands you could do 1/3 at a time by just spreading them out whilst staying in that 1/3 of the circumference of the tree. They're easier to take off that way too. Stunning tree.
I have seen this before and always wanted to try it!
Super idea i will be trying that for next christmas
Merry Xmas to everyone on this channel and at LaLande. We are isolating and unable to have the Xmas we wanted. This video brought me great joy and happiness. All my love from 🇨🇦
Isolating will get us to a better place sooner. Hi from Ontario and Merry Christmas.
🎄Stephanie and Co🎄. Thank you for getting and keeping me in the Christmas spirit.
The annual holiday art show that I participate in selling my art every November was cancelled due to Covid. This usually funds my Christmas shopping for my children and nine grandchildren. Nope, not this year. 😞
I am so grateful for the emotional uplift you gave me.
I wish you all a happy healthy, delicious Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!
I had a tree with woodland animals and huichol eggs that I bought over the years in and around Puerto Vallarta where I owned property. They had many days of processions though the streets to their cathedral. It was a wonderful celebration that went on for several weeks. My daughter has them at the house in Vermont where she has been in Quarantine since their NYC apt is short a home office and outdoor space for her toddlers. This year I spent 3 weeks over Thanksgiving there. I’m in NYC in my apartment and looking forward to next year with everything open here and everywhere. I hope everyone has a special day. Stephanie, thanks for the gift of your vlogs over the past year. You have brightened the lives of many with your humanity and can-do personality.
The gentlemen did a fabulous job! That tree is the most beautiful tree I've ever seen!
The tree is magnifique! Merry Christmas!
So beautiful. Please remind Steph to take little moments for herself. I don’t want these vlogs to end. Truly feel so grateful to you all sharing yourselves in the lead up to xmas🌻🌻🌻
The gentlemen did a wonderful job with the tree. Natti’s face when she saw the tree was one of wonder and amazement 🤩
🎶oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree we love your spreading branches 🎵🎶🎵 lovely blend of voices..
Michael and Stephanie look so good together. Why aren't they.
France closed UK freight ports due to new COVID concerns. Don’t think you could have planned ahead for that Stephanie. Another fabulous episode. I’m going to be so sad when your advent series is over. It’s been a pure delight. So pleased you are on the mend Stephanie. Phillip you are a really good companion and so much fun.
Hi Stephanie! What an absolutely beautiful, glorious tree! It’s a “Manly” tree, to be decorated simply by manly men! 😍👌🏼. It’s just beautiful!
That was wonderful, you all singing Tannenbaum. Beautiful.
This tree was totally amazing🤠❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄
I just watched this for the second time and got emotional all over again. Such a beautiful tree, happy people and enough love for everyone. I cannot wait to see what 2021 Christmas 🎄 looks like. 🥂✨
Christmas cookies I made for my sisters in Ohio in USA from Tn, one was delivered. The other is Hawaii some how. I love your channel, you amaze me. How kind and light spirited you are. If you didn't already know, your Cinderella. Merry Christmas
Absolutely loved the whole adventure from beginning to end, especially the present buying and the tree decorating. Stephanie your good spirits help to make everything joyful. Thank you, Marianne, Chicago.
Hi Stephanie Well done on the Christmas tree looks amazing and the guys Did a great job I love the way Philip get excited about the hedgehog the chateau is now taking shape you have had a busy year lots of new things that have been done but for now enjoy spending time with everyone It’s been a hard year for everyone with what’s going on and your daily Xmas vlogs have really cheered us up so thank you for all the time and effort that has been put into them and all of the people that work so hard at the chateau wishing you all a merry Christmas
Michael has a Hugh Grant vibe
In my real life December has been awful and I haven't done anything for Christmas. Your beautiful and fun Advent videos have singlehandedly saved the holidays for me this year. Thank you all so much for working so hard on these videos and sharing your holidays with us.
The tree is absolutely gorgeous! I loved how everyone sang in their own language at the end in unison 💗
Fantastic look Christmas tree guys, You all did a fantastic job. I love that you put the lights inside the tree as well. It elevated the tree to an ethereal presence. Bravo.
And don't worry Michael, those branches will relax by tomorrow.
I so love Philip!
I loved your carole in different languages. Beautiful tree!!!
That is the most stunning Christmas tree I've ever seen...wow! Xx
Wow! What a perfect tree! It's so incredibly beautiful! I absolutely loved everyone singing in their own languages at the end! Merry Christmas!
Doing and uploading the vlog on the same day sounds stressful to me but you guys where able to do it and we appreciate the efforts you all made specially Stephanie😍 Thank you Team Lalande! I felt emotional when you all sung at the end of the video😭
“Little full! Lotta sap!” 😂😂😂😂 #griswoldfamilychristmas #christmasvacation
😂 I had the same thought. Lol, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.
I cannot stop crying, what is the matter with me. Such a lovely Vlog.
Merry Christmas. 🎄
Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you all! The Netherlands is in lockdown and the only Christmas present we have in the house is 1 gift for our toddler, we didn't get the chance to get any thing for each other before lockdown started last week. We refuse to order online because the poor postal service is already over extended. Thankfully we did manage to get all our groceries ordered and delivered in time (we have ordered groceries more then 2 years, started when our baby was born). For our neighbors we are going to be making brownies and cookies tomorrow, they love them every year! I'm thinking we might wrap a few boxes of tea and bars of chocolate so that our toddler can have fun unwrapping them!
Thank you all again for sharing all the Christmas fun!
Have a wonderful xmas despite everything 😍😍😍
@@Jayrose59 thank you!
Hope you have a lovely Christmas knowing you are with your little family healthy and safe.
@@mayflower2401thank you! We are very happy that we at least are together!
I love, love , love your Christmas tree! 🎄. It so full and tall and festive and O my goodness 3000 lights! Michael & Davy did a stellar job cutting down the tree & stringing the lights... (personally, I think stringing lights is torture). I love your ornaments. It’s the perfect tree. It’s not a decorator tree that is all coordinated and overwhelming rather it is a family tree with special baubles and memory ornaments and is absolutely Beautifully Perfect ! 🎄
I am so glad to see you feeling better Stephanie. I think having your extended family arriving “home” made all the difference. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 🌟
Torture describes the task appropriately
Wow, the tree is gorgeous with artistic flare, l love it. I am so pleased to see Stephanie well and recovered. You have made my Christmas, have a fabulous time folks. XX
Amazingly beautiful tree!!! Breathtaking!! Great job!! Enjoyed. Love to all ❤
Watching you trying to figure out getting the tree in and cut to size reminded me so much of when I was younger and my parents were doing the exact same thing. It always ends up looking beautiful but I must say your tree is spectacular this year! Well done everyone. Merry Christmas.
Happiness is 2 Christmas hedgehogs and 3000 twinkling lights!
And a wombat, can't forget him!! I love how little things can bring such happiness :D
@@yverose8355 Not forgetting Christmas Koala!
I think it may of been 4,500??? She bought 3 boxes with 1,500 per box. Either way it was spectacular.
@@snoopybluejeans Maths was never my strong point! What's 1500 lights between friends. Still not sure how they fitted that supersized tree in!
@@dawngough1133 That tree was massive, but they made it fit. It looked stunning.
I can hear Phillip laughing now! Lol I also love a good pun
A truly magical tree! Well done everyone and a very happy Christmas and a prosperous new year.
"But, I wanted to go to the chocolate shop!" reminiscent of Willy Wonka:)
Joined in 3 months later with the Greek version. Thank you for sharing and getting me through COVID-19. Greeting from Athens Greece (originally from South Africa).
The tree is absolutely lovely!
STEPHANIE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WORKING SO HARD TO PUT OUT THESE GREAT VIDEOS THAT BRING JOY AND INSPIRATION TO SO MANY! Ive sent a huge thank you package last week in the mail. I hope you all enjoy the items. I’m sending a follow up card to you as well.
Personalities really came out during the tree going up. Stephanie, you have a way to get the men activated and doing what they are doing. Merry Christmas to you all! I have loved the Advent series!! And the tree is gorgeous!
probably the best tree I have seen this year xxx
Philip was having a fur amount of fun 😜🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful tree. It’s magical. Thank you
Stephanie did as suggested and look back several Christmases and this is by far .......
Magnificent Wondrous Tree of them all to date....Well done Everyone.🥂It is Magic🌲⭐🎄🦔
Thank you Stephanie, Phillip, Micheal, everyone!!!
I needed this video!!!
It's Christmas morning in New Zealand and Australia. Many Christmas everyone.
What a wonderful Christmas tree vlog 🎄 Such a magnificent sparkling tree 🎄 So glad Stephanie is feeling better ☺️
Michael is hilarious..... Such dry humour he sounds South African.
now! that's my kind of tree! wow!!
Thank you Stephanie for the joy you have given us in 2020 but especially in December. It’s been a challenging month where I have been focusing on donating food instead of buying toys for children like I normally do but for 30 minutes a day, I sit back and enjoy life at Chateau de Lalande.
