I used to show the gifts as part of ' @The Chateau Diaries ' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖
If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

I adore Curtis and his partner Phillipe .
I agree. I hope they will be frequent visitors. So positive. Great fun, ideas.
Oh my!! Patreon vlog, Advent vlog and now this,,, How could I ever hope for more Christmas Joy?? You have truly outdone yourselves this year. While I am alone, again, this year, I am not lonely -- because of you. Merry Christmas!
Happy Christmas Lawrence x
Same for me!Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from the UK, Lawrence. I am on my own again this year but with vlogs from Lalande no need to be lonely.😊
Merry Christmas!
Stephanie...You are the ray of sunshine that broke through the storm of the pandemic! May you never change - you have been a blessing to so many!
At 12 AM some neighbors shot off fireworks for 20 minutes so instead of being mad, I got up for tea and can watch your gift opening. I have the tiny horse ornament. So much fun. Merry Christmas! 🤣❤🌺🌹🍭🥂
My mother had that tiny horse ornament too! And now it’s mine, so familiar.
Mica, you have the most beautiful hair and such a sweet spirit. Easy to see how you and Philip are such good friends. Merry Christmas 🎄
I have to say that I think her hair is the most stunning hair that I've ever seen !!
And she sings!
Stephanie........thank you for donating your time and energy to put out these weekly videos in order to raise money for not for profit charities, esp. that ladies school scholarship in SA. :-)
"I expect that's an offer he's never had before, Curtis." I'm rolling! So quick, Stephanie!
Stephanie I have to say that your aunt and uncle are such beautiful souls and they have such a great sense style!!! Merry Christmas to all and Joy,Peace and Good Health to All in the New Year!!!💖💝💖🤶🎅
Those huge baubles would be amazing on the new Christmas tree in the courtyard! Dan could use his digger to decorate!
🤭🤭🤭👍♥️
My Husband bought me a blue Italian Spode cup and saucer, it’s HUGE! I love it. Thank you LaLande for exposing us to such beauty as Spode and porcelain and love .
*This coffee cup is Huge, might explain Stephanie’s boundless energy!
#poweredbycaffeine❤️❤️❤️love to all and Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
The abundance and kyndnis is overwhelming every time i watch Cadoo 🙏❤
Curtis has the most lovely shiney hair, plus he is generous and kind.
Thank you to the 2 lovely lady guests who are I want to stay at la lande, you are both fantastic and what amazing cooks your are also. If possible can we please have a cooking session with the 2 ladies, and a big HI to mummy - and Aunty and Uncle, you both are wonderful. Thank you so much.
Love your aunt shes such a beautiful gentle soul 💕
This is my 1st Christmas without my children. They're spending it in texas with their father. Your advent and unwrapping vlogs have helped to keep me in the holiday spirit. Thank you so much for sharing! Merry Christmas to everyone at the chateau ❤
Merry Christmas, Suzanne. Hope you have a lovely day.x
For many years my Mother had a bonsai cypress as a Christmas Tree. Searching out miniature decorations was a joy every year. And she accumulated quite a swag.
I have vintage and hand blown glass. Opening the cases and releasing their shine is a fun day every year.
My little sister and a friend smashed all my mothers beautiful glass ornaments in the basement one day, they made a lovely noise on the concrete floor of the root cellar. The only good thing was Mum got to decorate with modern ornaments of her taste without both my grandmothers being upset with her. Lol🙋🏼♀️ Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight🥰
Such kind and beautiful gifts given from the heart. I feel there sentiments as well this channel makes be believe that there is loving and kind people in the world such as yourselves.
Aweee the turtle doves look like the ones from home alone !!
Tell Philip that the felt mice need to be in that bookshelf nook on that miniature Persian rug!!
Yes!!
All the gifts and givers were wonderful, but Wendy's nativity! So cool!
Its good that the big ornaments are plastic for outdoor trees so the wind wont break them when blown off
When your aunt said "Thank you darling" she sound exactly like Mummy Isabel!
I have always watered my christmas tree. Just to keep the risk of fires down. My grandparents 3 meter tree would drink 3 liter per day.
Great idea to use the gorgeous baubles for the grand salon!!
Thank you for another vlog with you lovely people ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Oh my god. I just got here and it'd an hour...Pause... I'm making myself a drink. Brandy, baileys and coffee, with a bit of whip.
Best self isolation video by far. Merry Christmas kids xoxo
What a beautiful Christmas table! I love the pink. It's so cheerful and festive. I'm glad you went with it. And incorporating the holy family into the floral arrangement was a stroke of genius. Not only does it look pretty, but it also tells the story of Christmas and puts Christ where he belongs, at the center of Christmas.
My gift: watching the ads! Happy Christmas to you all, xo
What a lovely way to spend time together, and what wonderful, thoughtful, talented people and gifts they have sent.
Merry Christmas to all ! Just remember that Jesus is the reason for the season! God Bless x
So lovely to wake up from a after Christmas Eve family gathering a tradition of having Mexican food and opening presents to watch this beautiful and delicious gathering of family and friends
Lovely! I laughed out loud when you wore that beautiful, beautiful new dress and said something like, now I can eat all the chocolate! The dress is SO pretty and looks lovely on you! All the gifts are wonderful! So much fun. Your channel is such a blessing to me. Thank you!
Loving the excitement in unwrapping gifts 🎁 Not just for the gift items, though it has been thought of very well, but it’s more of the kindness that so many are willing to share 💕
Sending my Christmas best wishes to everyone, with so much gratitude and humility and heart full of hope that everyone will be kept safe !!! 🙏 🙏
JOYEUX NOËL !!! 🎄 🎅 🎄
CHEERS 🥂
Merry Christmas to all. Waking up at 4am uk time watching chateau diaries and unwrapped with a lovely hot cup of tea on Xmas day. What more could a lady want! Much love Lisa xx 😘 ❤️⛄️🌲❤️🔥🎁🎅
I love Phillips sweet heart. I can see why you love him. Your a perfect match of good hearts.
Joyeux Noël to you Stephanie and Philip, to Mummy and Percy, to your Tante et Tonton, Nati & Amaury, and all the wonderful people at Lalande! Hugs from Canada!
Beautiful people in a beautiful setting on a lovely night❣️🙋♀️
I have worn Souleiado since the 1980s and my home is upholstered entirely in their fabrics as well because I love the Provence in all its aspects: the life there, the food, the fabrics...
All the gifts were beautiful but Wendy’s nativity was by far the most creative and spectacular. She is so talented. The second most creative and stunning gift was the card with the hand drawn two swans. Now he is a true artist. Love your new summer dress Stephanie. And Amati’s scarf looks stunning in her hair. Curtis is a hoot. I just love his style and humor. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 🎅
The atmosphere is splendid and the tree gives such beauty to the scene of your sincere joy. One can’t help feel it too. Appreciation is the key to joyful living!💖
I absolutely agree with your aunt, I go all out for Christmas, it’s such a special time.
Loving this Vlog , Bringing me so much Joy on this Christmas Day 🎄🎄🎄, Thank You 🎄🎄👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🥂🥂

Beautiful gifts! Lots of fun! Love to all ❤. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
Omg the sun themed room would be beautiful Stephanie! One could daydream all day about room design possibilities, so much fun!
I get a kick out of how Phillip puts "Efficiency" on the screen. Too funny. lol That tree in the winter Salon is outstanding with all those lights and ornaments.
The spinach tree looks awesome!!! The stockings look like fun.The party food looks very fantastic!!! Everyone is dressed beautifully!!! Carol of the Bells,fabulous!!!!!! Merry Christmas from Vermont

So nice of you to record a gift opening to post for Xmas day! I’m one of those people who loves the solitude of lockdown, but this was perfect as a reminder of meaningful rituals to celebrate the kindness there still is in the world.
Merry Christmas, dear laLanders...wishing you all the blessings of the season. Thank you for your optimism and joy!

Florence Italy is my favorite town. I felt completely at home when we visited there. I have always wanted to go back.
Love Curtis's book he is such fun. Publisher please? So nice to see the generosity of everyone who sent gifts.
You know when chocolate is good....when the people get quiet while eating it. Fresh swiss chocolate...and the room was silent.
An abundance of stellar gifts! Curtis your book Amazing! Teeny tiny hedgehogs, gigantic Linden (?) baubles, the most beautiful summer toile dress, napkins and grand finale:with THE most darling little nativity in a suitcase made by Wendy.
Merry Christmas One and All. 🤶🎄💕
Merry Christmas everyone!
