Seeing Marie now to what she was when she was away from the chateau, having a hard time in her life, its like looking at two different people. she's so happy and colourful its a joy to see.
If you go to the vlog where Philip and Davey find the second tower site by the wall, the three of them walk on a path while looking up at the wall. They also walked to the edge of the dry moat. So now all of the path will be seen.
I love to have seen all the people that makes LaLande run. But they seem more like family. Stephanie is so good at giving. May she continue to be blessed.
What a lovely party. Can hardly wait to see the path around the lake! And in a few years the beautiful trees. And ..of course..Galahad is still adorable!😊
The women of LaLande are becoming more and more glamorous. What a beautiful party. It looks like everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing the festivities.
OK, Marie does look happier these days!! That smile and confidence she now exudes is so nice to see...Marie has got her groove back! Or was it the punch?? 😂 So nice to see everyone together happy and celebrating the festive season! ❤
So nice to see those that work behind the scenes, they are so important. Thanks for talking to each one, we get a new view of who they are. Marie once again looks lovely and so happy.
So wonderful to see all the Lalanders celebrating. It is good to get to know the ppl that run Laland on a 'hidden' day to day basis. Like Dave and his beautiful wife. Jean-Christophe who was so shy of the camera in the beginning and now telling us about discovering a path around the lake. Love the tattoo and the meaning behind it of the Massage therapist. And the char woman Mary telling us about her daughter in law and you could see how proud she is of her. And Marie a stunning beauty in blue, Natti with her very medieval shoulder pads, both looked like Charlie's Angels. Steph looked gorgeous like a mix between the hills are alive and 17th century woodland fairy :) Thank you for sharing!!
I pray for Archangel Michaels protection for country, family and friends every day ...the Saint Michael prayer is one of the most powerful Catholic prayers & used to be said at the end of every mass. I say it at the end of every Rosary. 😇❤🔥🙏
The joy of blooming outside of an expected timeframe is a greater appreciation of each individual flower for its beauty and magnificent power to bring joy to all the senses.
I love your videos. Y'all are so blessed to be surrounded by loving people. I feel like y'all are my friends. Then I realize I'm here in Louisiana. Love your mom. She is precious. God bless all of you.
@Serendipity-gj2me I had a giggle, and my ❤️ became full when I saw Steph in that dress. My family immigrated from the Carpathians of CZ and Bavaria to the USA in the 1930s. They all could yodel and play the accordion 🪗 ❤️. The boys and men in my family immigrated to the US really wearing lauderhausen 😅❤️🪗
Sweet Stephanie reminds me of my adorable Madame Alexander doll named Heidi in her charming dirndl bodice with puffy sleeves ...my little doll has braids and a little bonnet ...other than that she could model for the doll's mother. She brought an air of fairytale wonder to the party!! She looked lovely by that sugar-plum fairy tree upstairs! Stephanie has a way of bringing magic to so many moments! Next year, I hope Marie dresses in traditional Norwegian/Swedish folk dress and is crowned with a wreath of lit candles and plays the part of Santa Lucia ...now THAT is some real magic!!! 😘😇💖💞🌟
Watching the guys try to solve the puzzle was excruciating. My brother taught me the trick years ago and now I can’t watch without wanting to scream out the solution. 😂
Congrats on finishing the workshop floor, Amaury. You've done a fantastic job on the whole space. And Stephanie, that new punchbowl is stunning!!!!. Merry Christmas to all from Winterpeg, Canada. 🇨🇦
Such a joy to watch this video. You all look amazing. Galahad is such a precious baby boy and Molly is so very special too. Enjoy your celebrations. ❤🎉🍾🍹🥰🎄❤️
As always a wonderful video great seeing everyone enjoying themselves all the food looks wonderful,I did the Natti and Marie’s hair really pretty.The joy you have brought us all this year has been amazing and a joy to watch.Enjoy some rest and relaxing before the new season.❤❤❤
How Wonderful! Everyone looked fabulous! Especially Marie in royal blue with the orange crown, beautiful! So look forward to the Christmas Diaries, Merry Christmas to all!
All the magic in one place. Missed a few faces and happy to see the current crew! All of you are enchanting. ps every time i see Gallahad in the sweater knitted by dear Marcia i am so happy.
...also many hands make light work ....when everyone pitches in it's more fun . The casseroles are what take time (at least mine do with everything & the kitchen sink for ingredients) Turkey with roasted vegies must be done, but I skip stuffing & do my broccoli, spicy Italian sausage & wild-rice/& basmati recipe with sour cream, celery, sliced mushrooms, smoked & sharp cheddar cheese, fresh AND dried cranberries, walnuts & topped the last 10 minutes with dried apricots, boiled cranberries that turn bright pink & a drizzle of smoked & cheddar cheese. It's the prepping that takes time ...if the prepping is done a few days before, everything else falls into place ...with a little help!
Even though it is usually hot at this time of year we still have turkey pork and ham roast all cooked outside on the spit with roast vegetables and gravy. Happy Christmas from Australia. 🇦🇺
In the US in the Catholic faith, we also pray to St. Michael especially if we have anybody on active duty in the military service, police departments or EMTs (emergency medical teams) because A) He is their patron saint, B) He is a fierce protector of the faithful and C) He is the protector of the church. I prayed to him every time I was at Mass when my youngest son was deployed (in the Marine Corps) and was blessed with his safe return home 9 months later, so for that, St. Michael will have my eternal devotion! Lovely to see everyone sharing a nice evening and it’s nice that you honor those who work so hard for you throughout the year. I see you’re missing a couple people (Davy, Nick, Analise, Kirstie, et al) but I know they are with you in spirit if they couldn’t be there in person! Merry Christmas to all and Happy Holidays to you as well!
I wonder if Stephanie knows the old Irish tune ..."Tis The Last Rose of Summer"? My mother always sang that song after she had cut the last roses in late November & even early December to bring into the house ...even though it was fall! 🌹
Ooh this one's going to be late tonight. I don't know if I'll be able to stay up to watch it but if it doesn't work out for me I'll watch it tomorrow. Hope everybody is having an amazing day!
Stephanie, You look amazing in your country dress, as you do in everything you wear. Lovely to see you all having a relaxed and happy gathering of those who work for you, to celebrate Christmas time. Blessings from West Devon, and Jilly & Madge. xxx
So excited to see the trees grow and the path around the lake and all of the things being transformed! And what a lovely party and what wonderful people! Love the meaning of Rémy's tattoo. He seems like an interesting person with a big heart. Just perfect with everyone else at Lalande! 😊 And I'm glad you are doing low effort Christmas! Just enjoy the abundance you have been blessed with and have a wonderfully merry Christmas! ❤
🎉Lovely to celebrate Christmas🎄 w/the special Lalanders who contribute to the smooth running of the Chateau 🏰. Good to see everyone enjoying themselves together for the evening🥂. 🐮You make a marvelous milkmaid🥛, dear Stephanie. 💛Always feminine & festive... Nati, Marie, & Dave's wife certainly brought the ✨️glamour✨️to your glittering gathering. All were good sports wearing the paper crowns👑... such a terrific 🇬🇧holiday tradition. 😋Well done on the scrumptious spread too! 🥰Awww. Gorgeous Galahad in his darling sweater cuddling in Auntie Marie's arms❤. The sweet boy seemed to be earnestly listening to the conversation. 🎁Happy Christmas to all! 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
In America, we have Turkey for Thanksgiving, so we have ham for Christmas( I slow cook mine in rootbeer all day)garlic potatoes(from the garden)& the staples, Amish baked corn, bacon & cheese green casserole, sweet potato casserole topped with toasted marshmallows, stuffing with gravy, cranberry sauce made with crushed pineapple & homemade bread or rolls. Homemade candy, cookies & pie for dessert.
I didn't realise Stephanie had been previously married, as she pointed to a bowl in the vlog given to her in 1999 as a wedding present by some friends.
Seeing Marie now to what she was when she was away from the chateau, having a hard time in her life, its like looking at two different people. she's so happy and colourful its a joy to see.
Totally agree! ❤
Marie was glowing!! She is a beauty!!
Marie gets more beautiful every day, a very different girl to the shy little girl that came to Lelande.
I’m so happy that Marie looks happy again. ❤
"Out of the three of you, he's perfect." Amaury about Galahad - hilarious. And then Galahad resting on Marie's shoulder - perfection.
What a lovely party and Jean Christophe discovering a pathway around the lake - how exciting! 😊
It is totally exciting. I bet they will be out looking toot sweet.
If you go to the vlog where Philip and Davey find the second tower site by the wall, the three of them walk on a path while looking up at the wall. They also walked to the edge of the dry moat. So now all of the path will be seen.
What a lovely group of people you have attracted to lalande. They all look happy and happy workers make a happy life 🤗
I love how Dave says, "I know" without a second of hesitation! He KNOWS she's a gem.
How nice to properly 'meet' Mary Poppins. I'd love to see an episode about the daily cleaning of the chateau and the b&b.
I have grown to love these people. I vicariously enjoy everything Lalanders do
Dave really does have a beautiful wife. Lucky man!
I love to have seen all the people that makes LaLande run. But they seem more like family. Stephanie is so good at giving. May she continue to be blessed.
Marie looked so beautiful in that blue dress.
It was so nice of everyone to share their Christmas plans. Thank you!
What a treat to “meet” the behind-the-scenes Lalanders! You have a great team, Stephanie!
Amboline is so beautiful 😁
Oh, she IS!
Yes, all the ladies are shining and looking beautiful tonight... and the men don't look too shabby either! 🦘
Ombeline
Marie is looking so pretty and the dirndle is adorable. Nice party . Sounds like all the Lalanders are great cooks.
What a lovely party. Can hardly wait to see the path around the lake! And in a few years the beautiful trees. And ..of course..Galahad is still adorable!😊
The women of LaLande are becoming more and more glamorous. What a beautiful party. It looks like everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing the festivities.
Marie, you looked simply stunning. What a sweet spirit you are.
What a fun gathering and everyone looked really nice. Missed Kirsty and Brian. It was fun to hear everyones plans and traditions. 🎄
OK, Marie does look happier these days!! That smile and confidence she now exudes is so nice to see...Marie has got her groove back! Or was it the punch?? 😂 So nice to see everyone together happy and celebrating the festive season! ❤
I do love Marie's full smile and blush
What a lovely party. And little Galahad is so calm. LaLande is even more magical at Christmas.
Lalande office party 😊🎄so nice hearing everyone’s plans and different cultures! Thanks for sharing it and happy holidays to everyone ❤🎄🎄
Marie looks perfect that blue
From A to Z, I enjoyed every moment of this video-

So nice to see those that work behind the scenes, they are so important. Thanks for talking to each one, we get a new view of who they are. Marie once again looks lovely and so happy.
I loved the party, the LeLande family is a wonderful group of people. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤
Lovely to see the Lalanders get together for their ‘staff’ party it’s all you guys that keep the wheels turning.
Wonderful to be introduced to all your working family (and many spouses) and hearing their Christmas plans. Thanks
So wonderful to see all the Lalanders celebrating. It is good to get to know the ppl that run Laland on a 'hidden' day to day basis. Like Dave and his beautiful wife.

That is a very beautiful statement!
A but like humans blooming outside of expected timeframes 😁
Great fun everyone is beautiful and Galahad steals the show
So warming and loving. Thank you all 🎄❄☃🎄
I love your videos. Y'all are so blessed to be surrounded by loving people. I feel like y'all are my friends. Then I realize I'm here in Louisiana. Love your mom. She is precious. God bless all of you.
It is so wonderful to see all of the Lalanders dolled up and enjoying themselves. ❤
Merry Christmas to all Lalander's. Most enjoyable as are ALL videos.
Stephanie looks like she will start yodeling in that dress 😂 ❤
@Kim-J312 Lol! Yes ❤

Lord I hope she does! With her pipes I'm sure she could pull off some incredible yodeling that echoes in the chapel!!!
I need a Marie twin to bring Christmas cooking, baking, and drinks into our home!
Marie looks beautiful
Everyone looked as if they were having such a good time!
Love everyone’s Christmas plans. It all centres around their families ❤ A wonderful Christmas party at Lalande for staff, family, friends
What a wonderfully beautiful extended ‘family’!!!
Stephanie, you exude happiness wherever you go and it’s infective!
Loved seeing Galahad!
What a festive holiday party. 🎄
Love the idea of a no cook Christmas except for Roast Potatoes! That’s a must! So lovely to see all the Lalanders together! Love to you all. ❤
Amboline is a goddess🥰
I love Stephanie's dress.
@wildflowerwind6941 I totally agree and loved the style. Did she share as to where this dress came from? Steph if you didn’t will you?! 😂
Merry Christmas to the staff….we love and enjoy you.
Galahad being held by Marie. He is like a little child allowed to an adult party. On his best behaviour and trying not to fall asleep.
Watching the guys try to solve the puzzle was excruciating. My brother taught me the trick years ago and now I can’t watch without wanting to scream out the solution. 😂
A special note to Nattie. That dress is superb. You are so beautiful and glamorous in your Christmas finery. Your husband is very attentive. ❤
Ah, Marie, where have you been hiding this new you. Such a unique hairdo, if I do say so , myself!!!!!!!!🎉. You will be such a hit!!!😉
I love hearing the Lalanders speaking french, it is such a beautiful melodious language!
Congrats on finishing the workshop floor, Amaury. You've done a fantastic job on the whole space. And Stephanie, that new punchbowl is stunning!!!!. Merry Christmas to all from Winterpeg, Canada. 🇨🇦
Such a joy to watch this video. You all look amazing. Galahad is such a precious baby boy and Molly is so very special too. Enjoy your celebrations. ❤🎉🍾🍹🥰🎄❤️
The girls looked liked two of Charlie's angels
As always a wonderful video great seeing everyone enjoying themselves all the food looks wonderful,I did the Natti and Marie’s hair really pretty.The joy you have brought us all this year has been amazing and a joy to watch.Enjoy some rest and relaxing before the new season.❤❤❤
What a lovely group of friends to celebrate Christmas together! You Lalanders have been so blessed. Wonderful video.🎄❤
It's so nice to see the Lalanders out of work, their personalities shine through. Just lovely! xx
What a lovely party (and I speak as someone who isn't usually a party person!) What a lot of beautiful people are at Lalande. ❤
God Jul! Merry Christmas from Norway to everyone!
Such an absolutely perfect vlog this was. Thank you, Stephanie! Happy Christmas to you, Philip, and all of the LaLanders
The workshop looks great. “A place for everyone everything in its place.”
How Wonderful! Everyone looked fabulous!
Especially Marie in royal blue with the orange crown, beautiful!
So look forward to the Christmas Diaries, Merry Christmas to all!
All the magic in one place. Missed a few faces and happy to see the current crew! All of you are enchanting. ps every time i see Gallahad in the sweater knitted by dear Marcia i am so happy.
I love Nate’s new hairdo
Fantastic Christmas party everyone having a great time ladiesyou looked amazing Merry Christmas to you all muriel Tasmania
Stephanie, I absolutely love when you wear those “milk maid” dresses😍 So flattering!
I love a no cook or precooked Christmas meal! No reason the cook should be so tired on a special day.
I second that. I'm determined to pre cook most everything this year so I don't spend the entire day in the kitchen.
...also many hands make light work ....when everyone pitches in it's more fun . The casseroles are what take time (at least mine do with everything & the kitchen sink for ingredients) Turkey with roasted vegies must be done, but I skip stuffing & do my broccoli, spicy Italian sausage & wild-rice/& basmati recipe with sour cream, celery, sliced mushrooms, smoked & sharp cheddar cheese, fresh AND dried cranberries, walnuts & topped the last 10 minutes with dried apricots, boiled cranberries that turn bright pink & a drizzle of smoked & cheddar cheese. It's the prepping that takes time ...if the prepping is done a few days before, everything else falls into place ...with a little help!
Even though it is usually hot at this time of year we still have turkey pork and ham roast all cooked outside on the spit with roast vegetables and gravy. Happy Christmas from Australia. 🇦🇺
Nati has found her colour with that green jumper, absolutely stunning
It has been a treat to tag along and join the merry and bright Lalander's Christmas Party although I did miss out on a glass of the punch.
Liquid Amber is the most beautiful of all the maple type leaves. You will be awed next autumn!
Hello from Peterborough, Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Marie looks absolutely gorgeous in the blue dress x

Merry Christmas to all and Happy Holidays to you as well!
The Saint Michael Prayer is a powerful prayer! 😇❤🔥🙏
Galahad sleeping so contentedly on Marie was so adorable 🥰
I think Phillip would look good with a Dan haircut 🤔
Great lunchtime viewing now that I'm on summer holidays. Prawn & lettuce roll with a chilled glass of wine 😊❤🇦🇺
Perfect. 😊🇦🇺
Roses are one of the few flowering plants that will keep going well into winter
I wonder if Stephanie knows the old Irish tune ..."Tis The Last Rose of Summer"? My mother always sang that song after she had cut the last roses in late November & even early December to bring into the house ...even though it was fall! 🌹
Thought Marie had started to sparkle💖. Dress looked good on you 😊.
Always so uplifting! Thank you ❤.
This french guy and marie makes a beautiful couple
Poor guy....he's not into her. Imagine him having to read all these comments.
rude
Merry Christmas to all. Calgary Alberta
Lovely to see your celebrations
Happy Advent and Merry Christmas 🎄
Ooh this one's going to be late tonight. I don't know if I'll be able to stay up to watch it but if it doesn't work out for me I'll watch it tomorrow. Hope everybody is having an amazing day!

Hello beautiful ladies, I'm watching from Kuwait 🇰🇼
So excited to see the trees grow and the path around the lake and all of the things being transformed!
And what a lovely party and what wonderful people!
