Just in the night train 🚂 crossing the Czech Rep. from one side to the other with the best company I could ever imagine. Mummy, Stephanie, Scotman-Superman, Thomas and all the beautiful ppl around. Sending squeezing hugs from Czech 🙌🏻🥰❤️🤗
Lin W oh how beautiful. Its truly quite a distance. But how beautiful is that one vlog can unite us all in such a “Laland-shine” way. You too have a great time. And stay safe. Me now again in a train 🚂 on travels from Czech Far East to Austrian Alps nearby Salzburg the city of W.A. Mozart for hiking 🥾 and on Monday sweet Vienna and Leopold’s Museum 🥰
There's some tasteless comments on here. Please don't comment or watch if nothing nice to say! Stephanie, Isabel, Percy, Gerry, Selma, Marie, Antoine, Nick, Nati, Tomaz, & EVERYONE at La Lande, you're all a delight & bring such joy to us! You're always so happy, busy, bubbly, gracious, grateful & let us see your lives at the Chateau. Thank you for allowing us to share your joy, especially during lockdown. Lovely gifts from around the world from very generous people who want to send them to you. Kindness goes a long way & very much appreciated during these trying times. Love to you all! Keep on sharing with us please! We love it. 💗💙🤗
I’m noticing an increasing amount of rude comments and dislikes. It makes me so sad. I love the gift opening videos as do many others. I only hope that these rude comments won’t discourage future posts on the matter.
Now when we visit thrift shops, we imagine what might catch Stephanie’s eye, reading the labels on porcelain cups, looking for lace trimmings, peacock designs, 18th century design books, and hunting for ever elusive Spode!
What an epic gift opening! So lovely to see all the beautiful things people send from all over, and their kindness and generosity is very touching. It is so wonderful to see the joy you inspire in others.
I am catching up on all your videos I love them. I don't even watch regular television anymore because I find such peace and tranquility watching you all with your positive attitudes and all the laughter and love. I would love to come and visit one day. Love from Oklahoma United States of America, Jackie Millen
If you don't know, the package with all the seeds at the beginning part of the video contains peat pellets. Place them on trays, add water to the tray, let the pellets soak up the water which makes them double in size. Then you can plant seeds in each one, keep them moist so the plants can grow and develop good roots, at which time you can plant them out without having to disturb the roots. A great way to start plants. Hope this explanation helps. ❤️from 🇨🇦
Stephanie, I remember then when you told about Gerry brought you to the zoo story. He is really your brother (from another mother), indeed. Family is who you can get along with not necessarily from same DNAs. Btw you would need to do a box frame for the shells. Gerry and mommy both are hilarious bless them. Good to have Selmar and Van Diesel... around for indefinite ... Good to have very nice people around. You have heart like an angel ..🐈🐈
I 2nd the proposal of box frames for the delicate carved shells. Worry about people brushing past might knock them down! Maybe they need to be placed in less-traveled spot?
@@gailcraig4495 I agree that someone could brush them with a shoulder, especially during a party. But I do agree that the colouration for the items to the wall colour seems perfect.
OMG the pink tea cup is so beautiful 😍 Drinking tea out of it must feel like being a queen ❤️👑 all presents are so thoughtful and lovely. So many generous people out there ❤️❤️❤️ and your heartwarming reactions just make me happy 😊 Thanks Stephanie for uploading so many wonderful videos, bless you. Looking forward to the next ones. ❤️
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ The final scene of all of you together really says volumes about each of your personalities and how well you come together. Thank you for the laughter and joy in your videos. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you, I finished the video and I still have a huge smile on my face! I liked this episode of gift opening much better than the last one, maybe it was everyone sitting around the table, just like Christmas eve was at our house when we'd exchange presents. I loved the Spode bag, very nicely done! Thank you all!
For some reason I have never found gift opening on youtube very interesting and have clicked away...... But....... I love your's!.. I think it's due to the fact you are always so generally grateful and I can feel the energy... You make watching your Vlogs and gift opening so heartwarming in such dark times for me... Thank you all for being you....
Thank you guys for keeping my depression at bay. I love watching you open your parcels sent by lovely people from all over the globe. Love to all at the chateau xxx
That was so full of joy. Thomas is a lovely soul. I love how he can creatively repurpose things. Looking forward to seeing your next project together. You are a wonderful team!
This is such a joy maker!Thank you for posting !!!It is important that people see you open their presents and you are all so darling in your response. We enjoy it so much please keep it up!
Thank goodness you have so many rooms. At this rate with the amount of packages coming in you will be surrounded by loving items in every square inch of the chateau. I love these videos
A joy as always.😁 Happiness spreads happiness and you are certainly doing that for so many during sad and difficult times for the world. Keep up the good work 😁👍🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷💜
You can make a sugar syrup to stiffen the snowflakes. Dip them in a thicker sugar and water syrup and lay flat to dry, I renew the stiffness every few years. I have some that are over 20 years old and still look beautiful .🙋🏼
My sister has crocheted me many snoflakes. They are beautiful on a tree but so delicate that they get lost so I hang them on my mantel garland. They would be beautiful above your stove in the kitchen.
I love Selmars cheese flags so no more matchsticks! What a wonderful variety of gifts. So many of us have appreciated your videos during this weirdness, even those of us who started watching you from the beginning. Something to look forward to through out the week!
Totally wonderful, just watched this over my morning coffee - so uplifting and joyful and wonderful to see so much happiness and kindness given to you all from around the world x
I was 2mins late for the "live" BUT ❤ it! Such a fun-filled, loving home with wonderfully eccentric (in the best scense) people. I think I'd fit-in perfectly and may not want to leave; Can I bring my beagles 🐶
Comos grow wild in my garden and I never buy seeds since I bought years ago. You will have them everywhere from season to season. You can also collect seeds , very easy to do. I am in Australia. .
I think you must own the WORLD'S RECORD for number of Christmases in one year...Such lovely and grand prezzies...!!!...I'm VERY excited about the potential opera...Is there a name ?...LEGENDS OF LALANDE...A song...a dance...an evening in France...I still have hopes of seeing my Famille Francais one day...LOVE to Y'All...as we say in the SOUTH OF France...!!!
Oh how I love to see of opening packages. I've loved it since back in lockdown, Stephanie would get excited over any Amazon order, or any parcel from local area for the chateau. Now all are blessing you and your LaLande family new and old and Christmas can be every week at LaLande. God Bless one and all! ;-D
Thank you kind people for your Vlog, I have been very ill all winter with a lung problem , I need to laugh and enjoy things and since lock down I have been cut off. So, I'm there with you laughing, and enjoying the little things. As well as the big. Mum and Steph you both have a gift of seeing the joy in lifes little things. Your love for each other is inspiring. Your Vlog has helped me so much. I do paint still maybe I" ll paint you a pic of Idaho. Thanks again.
Wonderful, wonderful laughter, the best medicine for the times, what a great family group. Was I half asleep or did I see a comment confirming I was correct and Tomaz is in the theatre... an actor? The talent keeps growing... we definitely need a Lalande Royal Command Performance, with Gerry the comedian, it will be a well a rounded cast, singing, dancing, comedy and drama plus a piano recital by Michael Petherick!
Always such a pleasure to watch my favourite friends at Lalande. You've kept my daughter and I sane during lockdown. The elf on the shelf gets up to mischief around the house. I'm sure there's so much naughtiness the elf can get up to at the Chateau! Omg... Lalande the musical.... it MUST happen!
Scotsman you are so charming!!!... I enjoyed watching you open all your Christmas 🎁’s.... Also, Watching all of you opening gifts... this has been so fun... So many gifts for your Chateau !!!....🏰⛲️🗺🥂🍾💎⚜️🎶🚙🥐❄️🌼🦚🐏👸❣️💝... 🙋🏻♀️Cindy ,Westminster, ca USA
Violet Crumble is better than a Crunchie Bar! Take it from a fellow Aussie. What a lovely thoughtful gift. I have never seen the Aussie Tea before but will look for it now in the supermarket.
Omg 🤯 I have a few Spode pieces, I must say this Christmas I will be laying my table w/ a Red polka dot cloth & & gold cutlery! Stephanie your chairs, dress & Spode have my creative imagination going!
Christmas every Tuesday! Thank you people at Lalande for the escape from the madness outside ! The world needs more positivity and we feel like were sitting at the table with you.
Oh! Santa Barbara! I’m from Québec and my grandmother also sed to watch Santa Barbara and, like you, all I can remember from it is that theme song! 😅😂🤗
What a wonderful time watching all of you being so delighted with all the gifts!!! You all bring so much joy and happiness to all of us at home. Love to you all from Pennsylvania, USA. 🥰
Im so humbled you loved the hats. They are beautiful on you. What joy you bring.
Trish if you made those hats you should make more and sell them on EBay!
Stunning hats Trish!

Hats were absolutely stunning. Kudos to you ❤️

@@DI.ANGEL4YA Hello !Do you mean the address for the Chateau?
It's like I'm there with all of you.. The laughter is so contagious..
@alison webster Oh I know same here, I feel I am the one holding the camera. LOL
I’m noticing an increasing amount of rude comments and dislikes. It makes me so sad. I love the gift opening videos as do many others. I only hope that these rude comments won’t discourage future posts on the matter.
I agree with you. If they dont like the gift opening they can just stay away🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@Jayrose59 An air of jealousy :-(
I feel as though you all are my family,just sweeter and happier!👍🌟🕊️🙋🧚

Oh the joy of opening presents....I love it so much. Thank you Stephanie for being so spontaneous and kind. And I love Gerald's reactions!!
What an epic gift opening! So lovely to see all the beautiful things people send from all over, and their kindness and generosity is very touching. It is so wonderful to see the joy you inspire in others.
What I especially love about these gift openings is to later see you all using them!
I rarely watch television. Instead, I indulge in the "Lalande Saga" where every character helps to weave a colorful tapestry of fun and surprises.
Stephanie I so enjoyed as if I was there with you opening all your gifts!!!! You make it so fun to watch for everyone...
🏰💝🎁🎁🥰cindy
I love to watch you open gifts. It makes feel so happy for you all.

I thoroughly enjoy "gift days"!! The happiness is contagious!
Thank you for letting us join you virtually at the chateau.
I am Jamaican🇯🇲. I cannot wait to come cook Jamaican food for you all. Next year I’m already booked. Let’s do an island night.
The world needs laughter!
I have missed Scotman. He brings so much life to the Chateau. What a gem! Absolute gem of a man!

I don't even watch regular television anymore because I find such peace and tranquility watching you all with your positive attitudes and all the laughter and love.

People around the world, all hours of the day and night, smile, laugh, cry and keep their sanity thanks to The Chateau Diaries! ♥️
We are die hard fans lol.
I just realized I've been spelling Tomaz's name wrong this whole time. what a neat spelling... so sorry Tomaz!! ❤
No problem!!! Thank you!
happy happy joy joy such joyfulness in all happy faces thank~u xoxo
Love to see such happy people.the presents were beautiful .
You can make a sugar syrup to stiffen the snowflakes. Dip them in a thicker sugar and water syrup and lay flat to dry, I renew the stiffness every few years. I have some that are over 20 years old and still look beautiful .🙋🏼
A better option is 50/50 white glue and water. The sugar can attract pests.
Lovely tips. Just what I needed to know. Thank you kindly. It will stop mine curling as I make garlands with my crochet.
Or use liquid starch. Or Mod Podge clear.
I absolutely ADORE the hats! And the black one with the wasps nest that Isabelle was wearing was stunning! Amazing job on the hats!
Stephanie you are a bright light in the world. You raise everybody up. Keep spreading your positive energy.
My sister has crocheted me many snoflakes. They are beautiful on a tree but so delicate that they get lost so I hang them on my mantel garland. They would be beautiful above your stove in the kitchen.
I love how you guys are so genuinely appreciative of everything you got.
I comment while the ad's run. I love it Stephanie, you give such thought & care in choosing a charity to donate to. Such a heart of Gold.
I love Selmars cheese flags so no more matchsticks! What a wonderful variety of gifts. So many of us have appreciated your videos during this weirdness, even those of us who started watching you from the beginning. Something to look forward to through out the week!
Big hugs to you all!🌻
Totally wonderful, just watched this over my morning coffee - so uplifting and joyful and wonderful to see so much happiness and kindness given to you all from around the world x
With all these lovely gifts you are going to need a bigger Chateau.
Wow 🤩! Everyone received beautiful gifts! What a blessing you are to us by posting your videos. ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🇨🇦
I can't go a day without watching something from you. My Daughters to are hooked. SO happy with each and every new video you're living my dream.
Presents are so beautiful from around the world generously given.
I had a great time watching all the presents being open and how excited you all were. Great gifts by the way❤️
You need to do a video of a day in the life of Tomas! Love him! So creative and thoughtful. He's a perfect addition to LaLande!
