There are no words to express what you all have given us this year because basically you have saved a lot of us, THANK YOU ❤️ Now please rest and enjoy the season and we will see you soon👍
I knew Mummy had a magnanimous spirit, but now I know for sure. She never stopped caring for people, despite transitioning into retirement, no longer caring for others as a nurse, but doing something even more big-hearted, caring for people with no one to care for them. Love you Mummy. You're the topper on the tree.🍷🌲💟
Your mother Isabel and Percy are absolute angels for doing what they did. It really says a lot about someone when they take time from their own lives to give to others less fortunate. The way they went shopping and put it all together and then stood on the street and handed them out really touched my heart. ❤️
Thoughtful, meaningful charity. Something not often seen. Strong buckets for water, food staples. Putting thought & care into the gifts, not just throwing money at it anonymously. Inspiring couple.
Selmar's laugh and excitement over his stollen is such fun. Percy and Mommy are being generous and kind in preparing containers of food for needy people. So much activity at LaLande. Merry Christmas to all! I am one of the aloners and thank you so much for sharing this special Christmas Eve gathering.
I want to wish everyone at La Lande & all La Landers a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! I Pray that Stephanie & team continue to be Blessed in the upcoming year!!!!
I have watched all the Christmas diaries Advent calendar series from 2019 to 2022 and the best series is 2020 lot's of Christmas traditions and Christmas carols . Thank you.
As one of those who is alone (but OK) this Christmas Day, with my family thousands of kilometres away, I loved watching this. To see the gaiety, the dresses, the food, the decorations, the friendship, was wonderful. I have followed you since the very very beginning of your blog, which accidentally popped into my feed, and love and admire what you are doing at Lalande. Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart (and 42 degrees C!). 🇦🇺
'Love to see that Percy and Isabel are giving to others, as all of Chateau Lalande celebrates the gift of the Christ Child to all the world. 🎵 Joy to the world, the Lord has come. Let earth receive her King! 🎶 Feliz Navidad!!
I couldn’t believe that I leant forward when Dana opened the pot of rice; to blow the steam away! That’s interactive, and absorbed, right!! Merry Christmas all, from Hobart, Tasmania 🎄
They are giving so much of themselves.. bringing some joy to those who have little...happy with each other being together again. Blessings Isabelle and Percy 🌲⭐🌲
Merry Christmas to all the Lalanders actual and virtual! 💕 It’s been such a wonderful treat to have these videos every day...thank you so much Stephanie for this amazing Christmas season gift! And thank you for filming on Christmas Eve! It’s as close to “real time” as us virtual Lalanders can get, and it’s magical! :)
It's so great to see that Percy and Isabelle are keeping with the spirit of Christmas and help- out the needy and misfortunate! It's better to give than receive! Merry Christmas to all at Chateau Lalande!
Mummy and Percy are wonderful! Stephanie you did an amazing job through advent. I wonder if you'll ever know how much it meant to thousands of us around the world.
Merry Christmas everyone! ❤️🎄 I’m one of those who spent it alone (25yo) and watching this every day has genuinely made me smile each day of this month. It’s given me Christmas spirit and enough energy and desire to actually treat Christmas like I would have any other year. I cooked myself a feast (will seriously last a week 🤣), I played a long Lucia Choir on tv, enjoyed some Swedish Glögg (mulled wine), and spent the whole day walking around in my Christmas pajamas and woolly socks!
Selmar's baking, omg 😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you, for all the laughs, all the beauty, all the kindness we receive watching you at this Christmas eve, ❤❤❤❤❤ Merry Christmas, you beautiful Lalande family 💞💞💞
Outside of the countless inspirational, entertaining and magical things that captivated me about Chateau Diaries, what truly captured my heart was the acceptance and welcoming kindness extended to all people from every country & culture. The Spirit of Christmas all year long. 🎄❤🎄
🎄🎅🏻MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎅🏻to you all xx 🥰thank you for all your hard work over this difficult year to keep up all entertained xx but always so interested, kind hearted and full of fun and love xx thank you xx🎄🥰🎅🏻🥂🍾🎉😘
How magical!! I would love to spend Christmas in a beautiful chateau in the snow!! Everything looks so beautiful!! Can’t wait to see this years Christmas decorations! Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year!

Thank you for making us happy...it has been such fun watching, and what an effort you have all made! I was so touched by Isabelle and Percy's giftiing to the homeless, My brother lives in SA too.
Mummy and Percy are so wonderfully generous to make those packages for people. The true spirit of the holiday. ❤ Happy Christmas to everyone at Lalande.
My grandmother had that exact nativity set. Hers was painted but still beautiful. When my cousin was little he was worried that baby Jesus would be cold so my grandmother crocheted a little blanket for baby Jesus. Baby Jesus had a blanked from then on. Thank you for bringing back a memory of Christmas growing up.
What are we going to do without your daily advent videos that we have been so spoilt with! Thank you so much & rest-up today 🤗. Isabelle & Percy your kindness & giving hearts brought tears to my eyes. Living in SA I know what your bountiful gifts must have meant to these precious people. Sending much love to everyone 💖🤗
I rarely comment here because there are hundreds of others already doing so, and others say what I’m thinking so well. But I will add my thank you because I am very thankful for all the time and effort you put into making these for us. We aren’t alone here like so many are, but the videos brightened my days none the less! You are teaching me to have joy and how to find joy despite hard times. Blessings to you all. Mary
This is enormous for me...its just Snoshu and me here...I had an appetite suppressing cheese sammich...and i spend this part of my Christmas eve with you all!
I watch ALL the Christmas Diaries about this time every year, absolutely love them loved the very first one with Michael Petherick and now its so good that Stephanie has Phillip they are a match made in Chateau Heaven, but i just wanted to say what a Blessing Isobel and Percy are to those less fortunate at Christmas and what they continue to do each year its absolutely wonderful 🥰😍🤩😘I never tire of watching😀
It was so nice to spend Christmas Eve with the Lalande family. I am on my own this Christmas and it really put me in the spirit. I want to say that mummy & Percy’s generosity handing out the buckets was quite emotional. My mom use to do that every Christmas Eve as well but used bushel baskets. Merry Christmas to you all!
I’m one of the the people that will be alone for Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. Thank you for remembering us. To see the excitement and joy each one of you warms my heart with love. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 I love you for caring about us. 🎄🎁😇👍🎈🍀🥂❤️🌹🌞🕊🙏🪅
I recognize that nativity set. When I was a teenager, my mother ran a ceramic studio in Savannah, Ga and we had the molds for that. It is slip casted. I actually still have the same one that I made in the 70’s, but painted in different colors. The white is beautiful! Merry Christmas. Everything is gorgeous.
Thank you for doing this..... I do not know what I am going to do know that there is not going to be a video everyday. I felt a bit sad though when I saw what Percy and Mummy are doing. Here I am in my air-conditioned room (live in North Queensland Australia) watching all this beautiful food on an incredible table and then it cuts back to people living in poverty.. Is it really just the roll of the dice where you were born as to how your life will play out. I am thankful everyday for what I have and I wish everyone at LaLande and Percy and Mummy the best Christmas ever and then also if maybe the world could get back to some sort of normal...... Love Suzanne. xx
I'm really sad this is over now, my entire family is on another continent while I'm stuck in the US by myself watching our dog and all the amazing creators uploading throughout this winter season are the only things keeping me entertained right now.
I understand you my daughter came from Tahiti to France for Christmas and we were supposed to go to Scotland to visit my very small family and of course we can’t go it is very disappointing , but we are lucky as we are both in good health , Joyeux Noel à vous de la Charente. Maritime 🎄🎄
Thank You Stephanie for all that you do and Mother!!! You and Mother are 2 people after my own heart!!! I have to view my son's funeral Saturday so I will still be watching you all from America!!! NOW GET SOME REST ALL OF YOU ALL!!! MERRY 🎄 CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
Merry Christmas to Percy and Isabelle, you two are amazing people giving your time and helping people in need offering all the goods. Be blessed and again, A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS !.
Small turkeys are usually better than large ones, they are younger and much more tender. In my family we roast 2 small turkeys ( 5kg size) instead of one big one.
🎄Happy Christmas🎄, dear Stephanie & the whole team! You are all AMAZING 🥰💝🤩May we all spread as much joy around as all of you keep doing from the beautiful Chateau de Lalande! We are ever so grateful!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The women so elegantly beautiful and men so dashing and handsome at the chateau for Christmas Eve this year!!! Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to all.
What a stunning vlog! I woke at 3am to assist Santa in delivering stockings to the end of my daughters beds and thought as I was up I’d watch the last advent blog. Wishing each and every one of you lovely Lalanders both present and absent, as well as everyone watching, a MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄
Thank you everyone for all the hard work you've put to make these advent vlogs and for sharing part of you lives with us. Marie you are truly talented. Merry Christmas! You all deserve break. God bless.
Mummy does not like to fuss about Christmas! Brings out the most rickety, slender Christmas tree each year coz why all the fuss!!! when the most important thing is what she does ! Reaching out to the poor and needy ! My respect for Isabelle has grown exponentially ❤❤❤
I don't mind them enjoying at all ! It's all in good spirit ! Isabella just stands out as an extremely authentic person ! It is years of wisdom which she has accrued taking care of people that she has such a deep mindfulness for the suffering! I think the Cadeaux at the Chateau is still a good incentive with almost all TH-camrs just driving add revenue and getting sponsored for every content they produce it is a noble initiative from Team La Lande ! Sending everyone lots of love ! Merry Christmas all 🎅 🎄 ❤
@YM : Stephanie, just like you and me, can spend her money any way she sees fit at Christmas. Why judge her like that? Judging her publicly for not giving to the "right charity" of your choice is mean-spirited. She gives every month to charities. Not everyone can say the same, can they? I don't understand why some people feel the need to publicly shame a person for their good fortune. We don't know what is in her heart or what good deeds she does behind the scenes. In her own way, Stephanie brings magic and a glimpse into her chateau life to those of us who need a dose of sunshine and happiness into this world of lockdowns, depression, and negativity.
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Merry Christmas to you all from cold, snowing, Michigan! I will be watching all nestled under a blanket with my plate of tastiest and a glass of bubbly 😊. God bless you all and keep you well. ~Debra L Pate Art
Merry Christmas everyone! A special Merry Christmas to all at Le Lande and thank you for keeping me entertained throughout the pandemic! Stay safe everyone and here's hoping for a brighter future and a safer 2021!
Because of the weather and exposure to COVID on Monday, tomorrow it will be just my husband and myself. We are not showing any symptoms, for which I am so thankful, but I am missing all of the preparation for Christmas Day for my daughter and her boyfriend. Our Christmas will be January 3 this year. God bless all of la Lande for sharing your lives with us. ❤️🎄🎁
Merry Christmas to all the lovely people at Lalande. Bless you all. The apple does not fall far from the tree Stephanie. A generous mother Isabel has a generous daughter and this is what makes the world a much better place. ❤️
Thank you for your shows this year. I discovered you (and Michael Petherick) in July and Yes, you have been a lovely delight this holiday season. Thanks to the whole Lalande family for brightening this year. I learn things every episode. 🙂🎄
Thank you, Stephanie, for bringing this most enjoyable vlog. You've brought sunshine to many during these difficult times. It's heartwarming seeing everyone at Lalande get together and showing their cooking skills. The food looks delicious and the table is just picture-perfect. And Mummy and Percy are such kind-hearted souls. Love how they're helping the less fortunate.
How kind of mummy and Percy. What a lot of effort they put into these gifts. Obviously much appreciated by the recipients. Love and kindness in action.
A wonderful job decorating the home! Everyone pitched in with their creativity and love. ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️ Wishing everyone at La Londe a blessed Christmas and blessed New Year! 🥳🥳🥳
Worked miracles with the table again. Really worried that there was no way you were going to fit the nativity AND candles in between Marie's foliage! Have a peaceful night and a fabulous Christmas 🌟❤
It’s just me, my husband and our cat this Christmas and I REALLY miss spending it with my family in Florida, but these advent videos have definitely lifted my spirits and made each day feel festive. Thank you so much for making these! Merry Christmas to you all at Lalande and to all the viewers watching! xo
Merry Christmas to you all! I appreciated the showing of what your dear mummy and Percy did for those in need. I have lived in poverty for the last 25 years and it is a very hard existence. It is very easy to forget that there are so many people who can only celebrate the season with a little generosity from others. So it made my heart glad to know that they do so very much for the less fortunate. You all look splendid in your Christmas Eve finery and the Chateau looks Christmasy inside and out. Much love to you all and to all of the other viewers as well.
@@isabellejarvis7805 Thank you! It says very good of you and Percy that you took your time and money and gave to others. Much love to you both in South Africa on this lovely Christmas Day.
I’m so glad TH-cam send me to this during lockdown early this year! What a transformation this chateau underwent + great vlogging skills + amazing chatelaine Steph + amazing Lalanders + peacocks + funny mommy Isabel + everything beautiful 🌟😚
Oh, that’s so nice for your Mum and Percy to be giving back to the less fortunate people in the spirit of Christmas. 🎄🎄 Mr. Claus & Mrs. Claus it is!! 🎅🏼🤶🏻
I'm so sad I missed the last of the advent, but another storm is coming so we were prepping. But, I just watched now and it was so magical and @The Chateau Diaries you looked so lovely, truly an angel. What joy you have brought to us all and so happy to have found you. This year has been made the better for getting to know all of you and also all of you in the chats. :) Now, let's wish and hope that 2021 shall be so much better tho I know it shall be as I'll start knowing all of you :) Happy Christmas and a very Merry New Year :0 I hope Father Christmas leaves not only a sugar mouse in @Phillip Janssen stocking but a living one, in a satin waistcoat :) Thank you again all :)

Yes...they added the human, personal touch to charity.
Thoughtful, meaningful charity. Something not often seen. Strong buckets for water, food staples. Putting thought & care into the gifts, not just throwing money at it anonymously. Inspiring couple.

It is years of wisdom which she has accrued taking care of people that she has such a deep mindfulness for the suffering! I think the Cadeaux at the Chateau is still a good incentive with almost all TH-camrs just driving add revenue and getting sponsored for every content they produce it is a noble initiative from Team La Lande ! Sending everyone lots of love ! Merry Christmas all 🎅 🎄 ❤
@YM : Stephanie, just like you and me, can spend her money any way she sees fit at Christmas. Why judge her like that? Judging her publicly for not giving to the "right charity" of your choice is mean-spirited. She gives every month to charities. Not everyone can say the same, can they? I don't understand why some people feel the need to publicly shame a person for their good fortune. We don't know what is in her heart or what good deeds she does behind the scenes. In her own way, Stephanie brings magic and a glimpse into her chateau life to those of us who need a dose of sunshine and happiness into this world of lockdowns, depression, and negativity.
Well said,300books.
I am loving the bucket idea. Think I will try this here in my community. Thanks.
Thank you for recognizing the REAL reason for the season, Steph! Merry Christmas!
Sellât truly has the greatest, most sincerest laugh. Makes me smile every time!

Merry Christmas to you all from cold, snowing, Michigan! I will be watching all nestled under a blanket with my plate of tastiest and a glass of bubbly 😊.
God bless you all and keep you well. ~Debra L Pate Art
Merry Christmas to all. What a joy to share these memories with everyone.
Merry Christmas everyone! A special Merry Christmas to all at Le Lande and thank you for keeping me entertained throughout the pandemic! Stay safe everyone and here's hoping for a brighter future and a safer 2021!
'liking' these advent videos never feels like a grand enough gesture. ❤️
Because of the weather and exposure to COVID on Monday, tomorrow it will be just my husband and myself. We are not showing any symptoms, for which I am so thankful, but I am missing all of the preparation for Christmas Day for my daughter and her boyfriend. Our Christmas will be January 3 this year. God bless all of la Lande for sharing your lives with us. ❤️🎄🎁
I’m sorry you won’t be able to see your daughter this Christmas Linda. Wishing you a speedy reunion ☺️
@@emmarowse8071 Thank you.
Merry Christmas to all the lovely people at Lalande. Bless you all.
The apple does not fall far from the tree Stephanie. A generous mother Isabel has a generous daughter and this is what makes the world a much better place. ❤️
Thank you for your shows this year. I discovered you (and Michael Petherick) in July and Yes, you have been a lovely delight this holiday season. Thanks to the whole Lalande family for brightening this year. I learn things every episode. 🙂🎄
Merry Christmas all! I teared up watching Mummy and Percy with such giving hearts in these hard times to those in need the most❤️❤️
Thank you, Stephanie, for bringing this most enjoyable vlog. You've brought sunshine to many during these difficult times. It's heartwarming seeing everyone at Lalande get together and showing their cooking skills. The food looks delicious and the table is just picture-perfect. And Mummy and Percy are such kind-hearted souls. Love how they're helping the less fortunate.
The decorations are so beautiful! Have fun X
Merry Christmas to all. Blessings to Percy and Isabell for your thoughtfulness to the poor. Stephanie that dress is awesome.
Your mother and Percy are so generous, really an amazing thing to do, thank you for sharing parts of that!
How kind of mummy and Percy. What a lot of effort they put into these gifts. Obviously much appreciated by the recipients. Love and kindness in action.
Wishing Everyone A Merry Christmas & Happy ,Healthy ,Prosperous New Year !
Merry Christmas to everyone.🎄🎶
A wonderful job decorating the home! Everyone pitched in with their creativity and love. ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Wishing everyone at La Londe a blessed Christmas and blessed New Year! 🥳🥳🥳
Worked miracles with the table again. Really worried that there was no way you were going to fit the nativity AND candles in between Marie's foliage! Have a peaceful night and a fabulous Christmas 🌟❤
It’s just me, my husband and our cat this Christmas and I REALLY miss spending it with my family in Florida, but these advent videos have definitely lifted my spirits and made each day feel festive. Thank you so much for making these! Merry Christmas to you all at Lalande and to all the viewers watching! xo
Merry Christmas to you all! I appreciated the showing of what your dear mummy and Percy did for those in need. I have lived in poverty for the last 25 years and it is a very hard existence. It is very easy to forget that there are so many people who can only celebrate the season with a little generosity from others. So it made my heart glad to know that they do so very much for the less fortunate. You all look splendid in your Christmas Eve finery and the Chateau looks Christmasy inside and out. Much love to you all and to all of the other viewers as well.
Merry Christmas to you too Carole. I hope 2021 is better for you ❤️
Very best wishes for a happy Christmas and for the New Year. May it bring you joy and happiness!
@@isabellejarvis7805 Thank you! It says very good of you and Percy that you took your time and money and gave to others. Much love to you both in South Africa on this lovely Christmas Day.
@@emmarowse8071 Thank you Emma! Merry Christmas to you too.
I’m so glad TH-cam send me to this during lockdown early this year!
What a transformation this chateau underwent + great vlogging skills + amazing chatelaine Steph + amazing Lalanders + peacocks + funny mommy Isabel + everything beautiful 🌟😚
Oh, that’s so nice for your Mum and Percy to be giving back to the less fortunate people in the spirit of Christmas. 🎄🎄 Mr. Claus & Mrs. Claus it is!! 🎅🏼🤶🏻
I'm so sad I missed the last of the advent, but another storm is coming so we were prepping. But, I just watched now and it was so magical and @The Chateau Diaries you looked so lovely, truly an angel. What joy you have brought to us all and so happy to have found you. This year has been made the better for getting to know all of you and also all of you in the chats. :) Now, let's wish and hope that 2021 shall be so much better tho I know it shall be as I'll start knowing all of you :) Happy Christmas and a very Merry New Year :0 I hope Father Christmas leaves not only a sugar mouse in @Phillip Janssen stocking but a living one, in a satin waistcoat :) Thank you again all :)
