- THE CHRISTMAS DIARIES: 4th day of ADVENT!!!
Today we decorate the chateau's 'Peacocktail Corner' with a glamorous peacock & cocktails themed tree...
It's that time of year again - CHRISTMAS AT THE CHATEAU has begun! Happy Advent!
Follow all of us as we get the chateau ready for a spectacular French Christmas.
Each day will be filled with decorating, cooking, gift buying, carol singing and discovering ancient Christmas traditions from around the world.
Laughing with all the people here who have named the tree "Tipsy" 💕🤣 Perfect!
The perfectionist in me says, fix the star. But my sense of humor says, I like the tipsy tree. My favorite colors. Lovely
Honestly, I can’t think of anything more fitting than a wobbly tree in the cocktail corner. 😆
😆🥂🍾🎄
Love the tipsy tree. I can see Phillip absolutely adores you Stephanie. Looking at you while you were talking. Really happy for you both.😊❤️
the peacock tree is like something taken out of Whoville 😂
I said the same thing! I adore it... It gives it such a fun, whimsical look, in contrast to the more formal trees in other areas.
😂
I was going to say it was starting to get Doctor Seuss vibes.
Exactly my thought.
You hit it!!
The Christmas tree looked fantastic. I think the droopy star on top actually gave it character.
Here we would call it a Charlie Brown tree would lists to one side at the top!
The tree reminds me of something from Dr Suess. "All the Who's down in Whoville..." He embraced the little foibles, like a crooked tree and made them whimsical. Whimsical is definitely a word I would use to describe LaLande and Stephanie 😀 🦚🌲 Cheers to all of you!🥂
You and Philip are so in synch, you are like book ends, It’s rare and it’s precious to have a friend or partner like this…….
Stephanie,
I just love that you ALWAYS
find joy in every situation, making something unexpected into a new tradition!
I absolutely love the
“Drunken Peacocktail Corner Tree”‼️
What a perfect solution.
You have inspired this 65 year old gal into making memories out of daily events in life.
I am a type A person & everything always had to be perfect.
I started about 5 years ago, desperately trying to leave my grandchildren with the knowledge that life always throws unplanned things, but
WE decide OUR RESPONSE to it.
Thank you dear Stephanie.
Miss Mummy so much.
We want to see an update on her & Percy.
❤️
Yes please we miss Mummy Isabella so much!
I have eagerly been awaiting the re-appearance of Peacocktail Corner ... let's raise a cup of kindness then in truly elegant La Lande style!!
I think the tipsy tree is whimsical and very Lalande 😊🎄❤️
The drunken tree is fabulous lol
16 minutes and 18 seconds of JOY ... thank you Stephanie, Phillip, MIchael and Ammary XXXX 🏰🌲🦘
Loving the cocktail tree that has had one too many! 🍸❤️
Smiling the whole way through ☺️
The tree is better decorated than a store one, all that joy, care, and thoughtful gifted decorations from all over the world cannot be replicated.
Fabulous!!
💜💙
When Michael said "Anything from the trolley?" I was waiting for someone to say "Pumpkin Pasties Please!" Love the Harry Potter reference Michael!!!!!!!!!
I've thought: "We'll take the lot" , Harry forever! 😊😊😊
@@maryamoros :) :) LOL
Mrs overall
When Michael said “Anything from the trolley” I immediately thought of Victoria Wood’s sketch. ❤️
If I had a chocolate corner in my home I’d be living there 😂
What a beautiful tree, the top is perfect, please don't fix it! Beautiful ornaments, love the colours. Michael making the tea...just loved when he was pushing the tea cart in! Wonderful vlog! Thank you so much for doing these. Take care of each other, stay well! Much love Kathy x
What a hoot! Love the tipsy tree and the atmosphere of laughter together with all
the witty comments and good humor. Truly helps to make the world problems fade into oblivion. Thank you Stephanie and all the LaLanders for sharing your happiness with us. Smiling from PA, USA.
Having Michael there to make tea, Philip to put a fine point on all decorating, and your brilliant cousin, Amaury for emergency repairs, Stephanie, you are the gorgeous blonde coordinating Christmas for everyone. This is such a gift to me on a quiet Saturday afternoon.
The Peacock-tail tree is brilliant, your gifted ornaments for that tree are enviable! What a perfect place to have a drink and socialize. Cheers to all of you and your Christmas spirits.
Lovely video, what a creative people you an Philip are. You both truly make the world a better place.
Your cocktail tree is tipsy! Perfect!
It is, perhaps that's the reason all the chocolates are eaten XD Tipsy tree ate them.
The top reminds me of a tree in the Grinch. 😀🎄Its perfect!!
Before Stephanie said it, I was thinking how appropriate that tree is for cocktail corner as it looks tipsy :'D
That was exactly my thought.
I had the same thought. It's a tipsy tree.
Im not a tea lover but I’m certainly a tea set hoarder…drinking coffee from my Spode tea set whilst watching this is a very cozy indeed…love the drunken peacocktailtree don’t bother to even straighten it it is perfectly fine ❤️❤️❤️
I left my big oversized Spode cups at my up north shack in the woods. I miss them.
By the way if you buy them and you don’t get an under plate or big saucer you can buy a cream soup under plate on eBay and they work perfectly.
The whole tree 🎄looks like a hat and the star is the ponpon 🎅🏼😂😂
it looks beautiful 💜💙💚
Yes😂
Michael is a riot. ‘Shall I be mother.’ Love the ‘Charlie Brown’ tree.
All of my favorite colors are wrapped up in that drunkpeacocktailtree !! Looks absolutely gorgeous.
The Peacock Tree is very beautiful. If I could make one recommendation for next year. Use your beautiful peacock ribbon. There are tutorials on how to do ribbon. I think it will take your tree to another level. PS. Take some heavier gauge wire to secure your top to stop it from leaning. Secure the wire lower down wrapping it up to the top. The wire is usually green.
YES keep that tree with the wonky tree topper. ONLY at La Lande! Thank you for sharing.
Love, love, love this years advent vlogs! Beautifully done. Love how everything has been decorated. Such talented, beautiful people with the best sense of humor. Loved having Michael, Phillip and Emery this year. Handsome three men.
Dream team for sure.
Love your laugh Philip!!
The tree turned out gorgeous. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I know that Michael is back home, but it has been wonderful seeing him be a part of the Christmas Diaries.
It wouldn’t be the same without him!
Agree.Michael and Stephanie have a certain energy between each other the very first Christmas diaries I rewatch at Christmas time x
Lovely peacock Christmas tree. Carry on. Blessings.
The droopy star makes the tree look like something out of a Dr Suess book. I love it!
I love the 🌲 topper just like it is .... 💜
It looks like a Dr. Seuss tree. Very cute. 🌲🎄 ❤️😂🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
The tree looks amazing I love how all the decorations are all unique.
I love Michael soooooo much, especially when he does that funny voice. Enjoyable video as usual...thanks for the fun! The wonky top is like something out of Dr. Zeus like from Who ville, lol! I vote to let it be as is, lmao....and I haven't even had a drink!
I love all the different visitors! Especially dear Michael! Good friends are priceless!
The amount of work that goes into these videos amazes me. Thanks for working so hard to provide us with excellent entertainment. Merci mille fois.
I love it. The colors. Great job. It looks so good.
Maybe you can wire a wooden dowel onto the top trunk of the tree to force the top to be stable. Especially the tip top. Every year my tip top is bent so I used a steel orchid stake wired to it so it won’t fall over when I put the tree topper on.
A green long knitting needle l use , it work wonder.
@@raffaellavitiello1762 yes, it really doesn’t matter what it is as long as it works. ☺️
Love the funky Christmas tree and the funny people putting it together.
Too precious!
What I have done with my artificial tree is after one year when I put every orniment on "perfectly" (like you have done this year) I did not have the heart to tear it all down so... I twisted their hangers around each stem for permanent placement and I store away my tree fully decorated...It makes me so happy to see it every year all done...ready to go...no work..and so pretty ...I can turn it a bit each year for a view of the side not shown the year before for a totally "new" but still "perfect" look......I add about 5 ornaments each year to have something new to put on for the fun of it. I call it "Christmas without the work but all about the beauty and fun." It works great for me...I also store it inside the right side of a closet about 20 feet away from where it always gets placed...so no stairs to climb with it, ..the closet keeps the dust off...no lugging my tree around out of storage anymore.....instead.....WALA !!! Instant, pretty, no work, perfect, Christmas..
You guys are so much fun!
It helps me get into the Christmas Spirit after spending time with you🥰
I love the adventvlogs. There warm, fun and lovely. Never disapoints. Thank you for making them❣
You fill my heart with humor and grace. Thank you
Drunken peacock tree!!🌲 That’s a Christmas tradition I’ve not heard of!😂🤣
The tree is great. Can’t imagine to have only one liquor chocolate a day🙄. Would need a daily refill service if I was there!😆
Same 😂 one is never enough
Gorgeous tree!!! "Parfect" as you say Stetanie! And, I'm love the drunken crown. Oh please explain the difference between a Frenchman and English tea strainer. A bientot, xo
Likewise. Why, I just ate half the slices of a chocolate orange while watching this vlog under the premise that I needed to sample it to see if it tasted good enough that I should buy more for stocking stuffers.
@@edwardulrich1515 Haha ... man after my own heart 😋
Thank you for a wonderful video!!! When everyone is running thru and sharing in the holiday, it makes the season so delightful!!! Love the colors of the tree, the gifts from yesteryears all the trimmings, omg it is delightful!!!
The tree is beautiful. I love how you’re daily doing the decorations with us watching ❤️🎄
Love the tree! Such a pretty corner!
Well I guess Michael needs to get you a silver tea strainer for Christmas.
the colors really are beautiful. Michael with the trolley, too funny.
The cocktail tree had a few too many. How appropriate. I love it
O.M.G., the trio of helpful, hilariously gifted friends compliments the showy happenings. Tea cheers!!!!
Had to share this, just been to a Christmas fair at a hotel , the tree had a glitter top hat, cocked to the side, on the top, rather than a fairy or star, I think it would be fitting for the peacock tree, May I suggest maybe a bow tie and an evening glove added for the elusion of a wild night,
Exactly Michael.. always warm the pot when making tea 🫖 oh the saga of the non-silver tea strainer 😆 Fabulous tipsy tree 🎄🦚 Oh to be at Lalande right now 🥰
Wouldn't it be nice if Michael did a whole vlog on setting a proper tea and the details of making, etc. Us Americans do not know of such things. But I really want to learn.

Hello Lisa 🙋♀️ Fabulous idea.. he would be perfect at that.. let’s ask him 😊🫖☕️
Michael needs to gift Stephanie with a Michael approved tea strainer for Christmas. 🎄
Your drunken peacock tail tree is the best tree I've ever seen and it has its own fun personalty. Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The tree reminds me of Dr. Suess. It's whimsical and fun. I'm looking forward to setting my table this year because of you two. The hen house needes a cranberry wreath. I wish I could be there helping to decorate.
I 💜 anytime Michael visits the chateau!
The tree topper is a shooting star! Love the Pea-Cocktail tree!
Even though the chapel is being worked on , could you put a wreath on the doors or a flower on the alter for Christmas? That would be wonderful if you would!!!!
Marie used to furnish the chapel with beautiful flower arrangements in recent Christmas’s and also the Nativity that Selmar repaired last year in the Advent Diaries
Beautiful!💕
@@sandrabergquist1684 I wholeheartedly agree with you about keeping the Nativity scene in the chapel ❤️
The tree is perfectly imperfect!!! A little tipsy tree never hurt anyone!😂😂💙💜
The "wonky", tipsy tree is so appropriate for the cocktail corner. 'Love it! Beautifully decorated, as usual. 😍😘
“And a peacock in a peacocktail tree” 🎶I absolutely love it, you’ve done an amazing job ❤️
What a joy having Michael with you for the beginning of Advent.....Love it....you are an amazing team and are so much fun!! Thank you for the daily vlogs...well done!!
Nice jacket, Michael. Love the new intro! ... guessing Dan's work.
Love Love Love the tree, especially the top leaning. Meant to be and perfect. Beautiful how everything goes togther, collectively it took everyone contributing to make it as beautiful as it is. Together we are better! Merry Christmas everyone.
Love the drunken peacocktail tree 😂 talking of peacocks can’t believe how big they have grown 😍
Absolutely love the Advent Chateau Diaries - thank you for helping us all get into the spirit!!!!!!!! :)
I love this!
Such a wonderful idea!
Having a special corner for something that you love!
That is the most gorgeous, crooked, cattywampus, Charlie Brown Christmas Tree ever!! Seriously, it's lovely😊🎄
That top of the tree looks like a Grinch movie moment! Lol!!😁
The tipsy peacocktail tree is HILARIOUS! I laughed so hard my dogs got worried. Absolutely genius!
Yay cocktails 🍹
Thank You for these daily videos!
Dr Suess called. He wants his tree back🤣. It's actually perfect!
Michael!!! You and Stephanie and GOLD!!
Lovely!! Love Michael's "shall I be mother"😅
Drunken peacocktail free 😂😂😂😂
Fabulous decoration love them ❤🎄🎁❤🎄🎁❤🎄❤🎁
Love❤ Sue🎄🎄🎄🇬🇧🎄🎄🎄
The tipping tree topper is the best!
Your cocktail corner tree has had too many cocktails already 🎄🍸🎄🍸🎄🍸🎄🍸🍸🍸🍸
It looks like the star wants to fly : )
Drinking, Belfast made, Suki mince pie tea while I watch this Christmas delight
Such an amazing idea. Love this video. Thanks everyone from Lalande. ❤️
I loved it... I also think more threes the better!
I so enjoy when Michael is with you Stephanie ❤. Such fun. Thank you from Dunnville Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 Hugs
We love the slightly drunken Pea cocktail tree!
Love the rapport between you and Michael. I still see a spark. Friends always.
Cocktail tree is perfect; the lean of a good time!
Stephanie you make life so much fun and exciting at the chateau… you make mine and everyone’s day
I love the tree hung over! Too many cocktails! It's beautiful! Well done!!!
Loved the pissed Peacocktail tree 🌲
Love peacocktail corner with the vibrant colours and the tipsy tree! 🦚😆 Cheers!🥂
I am SO envious of your PeaCocktail Corner! It looks so glamorous and fun - inspiration for us all to carve out a little cocktail space in our homes! ( PS although I love the drunken look to the tree, perhaps Amaury could "splint" it at the back with a long dowel or thin piece of wood trim? ) xoxo
The broken tree has turned out to be another treasure. It is beyond beautiful! Thank you for the video!
