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.
Nati and Amaury - I think most of us knew, and are just glad that two organized people with magnificent hair follicles have found each other and happiness.
Of course the singing in the chapel was stunning, but hearing Cream and Sunshine of Your Love really brings down the house. Bravo Sir, Bravo! 👏 👏👏
Oh Nati and Amaury! How lovely for both of you. I suspected something might be happening there.💕
Carol Z You are so right. I’ve never seen such amazing hair as they both have. I laughed at that one. Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻
I caught that right away. And they both do have magnificent hair.
I must confess that I didn’t have a clue about Nati and Amaury😳…… or Stephanie and Philip. It seems that I am quite naïve for a 63 year old😂.
I knew it!! 🥰💕
...twas terribly distracted by gorgeous Nati and Amaury holding hands!🥰 how cute best pda ever! Merry Christmas to you all thanks for entertaining us so well xx
Omgggg I thought I was the only one who noticed that! Such a sweet moment between them two.
Totally agree!!! So freaking adorable - what a beautiful couple 😊❤️
I was just happy to have my suspicions confirmed. That was a subtle way of announcing it! I’m so happy for them!
I missed it but I knew they were fleeting a lot. Gotta watch it again!!
Omg ..how did I not notice it the first time!!!
So happy for Natty and Amaury, Singing stunning.
I was so happy to see them holding hands. I wish you all a Merry Christmas filled with love and joy.
I’ve had a hunch about Nati and Amaury for what feels like months now, but didn’t want to prod out of respect. So happy for the two! They seem lovely together!
I almost commented weeks ago about it but decided they would share it if they wanted to! I’m so happy for them as well!! ❤️
The singing was outstanding. What a sweet way for Nati and Amaury to introduce themselves as a couple.
Merry Christmas to all of Lalande.
@@sandraford4235 thee were a few glances in past videos between them. So not surprised. But surrounded by beautiful women. And Nati is managing things. Amaury is super organized and working. They match. Good for them!
I just learned that from you! I missed it. I also didn't see it coming with Stephanie and Philip. Oh well, the best to them all.
I had a feeling before that they war together💖💗😍
I had a feeling since Stephanie told us that Nati and Amaury gone somewhere together. I fergot going where, but it's on one of the advent videos.
i totally missed that, thanks for pointing it out, so happy those two super humans make such a sweet couple. I love how Stehpanie produces her video's she has such a poetic level of storytelling, this is an amazing example of her genius production skills . She is the Spielberg of youtube reality series. blessed,. Its much harder to tell a story with whatever is coming your way and make it a whole. Stepahnie succeeds everytime and this moment is one of her most prime examples, we are so blessed with this legendary Pioneer in reality series.
This hands-down was absolutely fabulous the best thing I’ve watched all holiday season the singing in the church was magnificent
Yes it was..
Very emotional, I rewatched it several times! Thank you Lalande🥰
Just rewatched last year’s Christmas diaries no. 17 where cat, Stephanie, mandy, & Philip talk about “carol of the bells” and followed by beautiful singing . Well worth rewatching
@@beefrench3554 Thanks I will check that video out. Merry Christmas!
I completely agree! Thank you for this beautiful gem.
Dearest Stephanie. Never has the phrase "a chateau filled with life, love and laughter" been more true. If only Mummy and Percy could have been there it would have been perfect, but your aunt and uncle and their charm and love for one another helped fill the hole. You and Amaury are so lucky to have such wonderful families.
What a year it has been for romance too - you and Philip and now Amaury and Nati. We all hoped for it from the moment we saw Amaury but it's great to have it confirmed - wonderful for them both and can you imagine how organised their house would be!!
Finally, what amazing singing - it seems musical talent gravitates to Lalande. Have a wonderful Christmas and try and take time off. PHILIP - take her phone away - just for a day😀
The singing in the chapel was beautiful. Merry Christmas to all and to all a very Happy and Healthy New Year. ❤️🎄
Angelic ⭐️
The handholding was a sweet confirmation, and the caroling a perfect ending! Merry Christmas to all at Lalande!
So they must be a couple? I thought I missed an episode or announcement
I thought I noticed a spark ages ago and mentioned how cute they are together
Adorable
I have been all alone today, no family. Me, Cinnamon (dog) and Panther (cat) just finished watching and feel that we have had a true Christmas Eve. Thank you all from LaLonde, you have been family tonight and we are grateful. Very Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas Todd!
Merry Christmas 🎄 Todd…
You are part of the La land family, Merry Christmas, from Richmond, VA USA
Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad from México with love.
Merry Christmas!! You are not alone...we are with you. Praying you have a beautifully blessed night and Christmas day!😊❤💫
Absolutely beautiful!
(and congrats, Nati & Amaury! A more organized couple has never existed!)
Naty & Amaury are dating? OMG!!!! That's awesome
I had a hunch from previous videos, awesome news
So true!
@@HenriHowardEarlofSurrey Yes, they were so often sitting next to each other at meals, standing together, dancing together and smiling at each other.
Nati and Amaury holding hands just made my Christmas . So happy for them !
I've been watching that subtly bloom the last few weeks (or months?) it's such a beautiful thing! Makes my heart sing
Me too! So happy for them. Also loved carol of the bells ❤️
Nati and Amaury ❤❤❤...what a great "Christmas surprise"!!!
Better go to Lalande if you are single...❤❤❤🥰😍😘
@@parameswarar2 .....Yes!
They've been dropping subtle hints over the last few vlogs 💘
Love is in the air at the chateau!
I kinda had an idea they were together but did they say something? If so I missed it. Now I have to watch it again
Singing in the chapel brought tears to my eyes - so exquisitely beautiful, ethereal, perfect to add to this sacred holiday! Thank you!
That’s a lovely sentiment, Nancy. I completely agree with you. Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻🎄❤️
Same here. All these advent calendar videos where nice but the spiritual atmosphere of singing in the chapel and the end was exactly what the videos needed. Beautiful touch at the end!
Let's not forget what Christmas is really about 🎄❤️😘
The performance in the church was Extraordinary!! Merry Christmas
my favorite
Absolutely love the singing in the chapel. Got me right in the feels. Hello La Lande Choir, can this happen more often. ❤️❤️
Stephanie is always so complimentary with letting others know how nice they look. So many women cannot…she rocks
Your uncle.. perfect ending. Such class and so much spirit. Your Aunt and Uncle must start their own channel!!
I would subscribe to that channel immediately!
I love them too. I would like to see more often.
I totally agree !!!
I wonder if anyone noticed that Uncle was humming the 1972 song "In the Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream. A band that Eric Clapton was in and then famous drummer Ginger Baker, I remember when the album came out, I was just out of high school.
Hear hear
Oh Stephanie you looked so beautiful: that green dress and your hairdo was so lovely. You looked exactly as I imagine the chatelaine of a chateau ... simply enchanting.
Indeed 💚❤️🥂🍾 heartfelt, beautiful hostess! The elves are happy to do their part for this party!!! 🧚🧚♀️🧚♂️
The singing in the chapel is truly so beautiful and magical. I got the chills. Thank you Stephanie for sharing your life with us.
Choral number was MAGNIFICENT!! Thank you.
Yes it was...I cried..
@@aleta5873 Me, too. It made the advent chronicles complete.
Amaury & Nati! I knew it! They would always sit next to one another at meals. Fabulous! Merry Christmas everyone.
Yes, that's when I figured it out, one of the blogs I caught a look Amaury gave Nati and I thought- they are together! What a wonderful place so full of love. Stephanie sets the tone, and she's a perfect judge of character. We attract people like ourselves. If only everyone understood this and lived by this! It's why she is such a great success.
❤️
@@creative227 Beautifully said ❣
I yelled to my husband, I knew it!!!!
I must be blind, I never notice that before. So happy, what a beautiful couple.!
Nati & Amaury X❤X
This vlog was incredible on so many levels. Stephanie never ceases to think about and prioritize others including her audience with all the planning she does for this channel. The last scene was so heartwarming and beautiful. All four did an amazing job. What more of a sign that humans are angels on earth with their beautiful God given gift of a voice instrument to spread joy and love in God's house. Please continue to sing and fill this world with your gorgeous voices. It is a true blessing.
It really was incredibly beautiful.
🎉📦🥂🍾🎁🎄🎁🥂🍾📦🎉
Merry Christmas!
🎉🎁🥂🍾📦🎄📦🥂🍾🎁🎉
Nati and Amaury are such special people. So glad they have found happiness together. Beautifully done. Spectacular production. The acoustics in the chapel enhanced the amazing carol of the bells. You brought joy to a Christmas Eve that was otherwise sad because of Covid.
Nati and Amaury make a cute couple.
The Carols of Bells was wonderful!!!
So they are a couple?
@@beautymaven3952 yes just as we all suspected. It’s so wonderful to see them being comfortable enough on video.
I have been so hoping these two wonderful people would find each other.
@@cwatson1975 Me too.
@@beautymaven3952 Yes, they're holding hands in the wine and chocolate tasting.
Finally I guessed right! Nati and Amaury. I could tell by the way they always sat next to each other when they ate.
What a wonderful Christmas present.
Your singing in the Chapel absolutely beautiful. Merry Christmas All and God bless
The singing in the chapel was really heartwarming , and Amaury’s Dad was the perfect finale !!!
BRAVO 👏 👏 👏
CHEERS 🥂 TO A LOVELY CHRISTMAS
🎄 🤶 💕 🎅 🎄
What a TREAT, the singing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Angels 👼 and Saints looked down upon them with great gladness !!! 🙏
I got chills when you all sang in the chapel. Simply beautiful!
That truly was breathtaking ❤️
Yes, it was wonderful!
My favourite part of the video, it was so lovely. Merry Christmas to all at Lalande
Today whilst baking with my firstborn, she asked me how I'd pulled myself out of a bit of a creeping depression because of the circumstances created by the virus. I showed her your channel, Stephanie. She sat enraptured while I made pie crust dough.
Merry Merry to All.
And a very happy Christmas to you. And your family.
Blessings to Micheal, loved the way he sang the melody!!! The voices are beautiful!!! Yes Christmas is truly here.
The most magical piece I’ve experienced all Christmas! How can I feel such a connection to so many people so far away? Love transcends all!! Thank you and Merry Christmas to all of you at Lalande!
WE KNEW IT!!! We saw the sparks between those two a long time ago. Sometimes you can just see chemistry between two people…❤️❤️
I thought there was something between Amuary and Nati! So happy for them! Merry Christmas all! 🎄
I know right?! Felt that too! Happy for them!!!🥰
😊
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was thinking that … they are cute together!😀
So they are a couple?
@@linvin18 oh…interesting, okay 👍
LaLande seems to be the place to find a partner…..Yes, Nati we saw the hand holding,,!! CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU!,
Stephanie, who knew you were a great soprano!!! thank you for the best Christmas Eve video ever!!!
The caroling was so pretty. It brought tears to my eyes. Merry Christmas.
mine to!
Mine too! I hope they sing some more for us on Christmas!
Yes, indeed goosebumps stuff⛄🎅🌟🎄
So happy to see Nati and Amaury together ❤ 💓 💗 💖 be happy my lovelies.
I am so happy to have found this channel! Your Aunt is so endearing and charming. Your uncle is precious too! I want you to know, dear Stephanie, that your gusto and joy of living and creating, is a breath of encouraging fresh air! The beauty of this Christmas Eve: The decorations, clothes, food, table setting and fellowship amongst you; was just sparkling! Our family has lost 6 family members since Thanksgiving ( just astonishing) I only hope that they lived to the fullest! It is quite evident that you live life extremely and deeply .Thank you for sharing your home, your friends and your joy! Armory is such a hard working , sweet and attractive gentleman! If my beautiful daughter wasn’t already married, I would fly to France and snatch him up for her. Nati is so special and beautiful. I hope it is true that they are with each other.Merry, blessed and beautiful Christmas to you all, and thank you! You had me in happy tears as you all sang in the chapel, it was heavenly!
❤️❤️❤️
Omg how wonderful to see Amaury and Nati holding hands how wonderful they look together. Such kind and wonderful people they both are.
A very Merry Christmas to all of you with much love from my family here in Canada to all of you ❤
Ce quatuor était un enchantement .! Merci. de la blanche province de Québec .

I loved it and had a good laugh at the end.

Brilliant! You all feel like family! You have drawn us in Stephanie, with your grace and loving and kind manner to everyone you meet.

Wishing you continued happiness in 2022. Best, Stephanie
Oh, Natie and Amaury! Love that for you! The singing was beautiful. Your uncle is very dapper, and your aunt is so lovely. I can see where your cousin gets his good looks and good nature. Merry Christmas to you all and all Lalanders watching too!
Really needed this tonight on a lonely Christmas eve. So glad you gave us a gift of beautiful voices in the chapel. Everyone was magnificent. Nati and Amoury are a sweet couple. Wishing them much happiness. God bless you all.
Im glad that Stephanie’s vlogs are a comfort for you. I know we don’t know each other, but I want to send you a reach out, it seems to me that the LaLande community are as good as family and friends for a lot of us. Best regards to you
Blessed be. 💗
Amaury's dad singing Cream's - Sunshine of Your Love at the end - Epic! Icing on the cake! Merry Christmas!
AMEN! The song bought chills to my body. Thank YOU! Very heart warming. Merry Christmas EVERYONE, Merry Christmas from Chicago
Your uncle... tearing up with laughter. Just a perfect end to a wonderful month!!
I went from weeping with joy at your Carol of the bells to laughing my ass off at your Uncle doing Cream!!!
P.S. please make your beautiful song available as a download!
Tried to remember the name of the song he was humming...one of my faves..Thanks Kat...
@@aleta5873 "Sunshine of your love"
I loved the singing, especially hearing Felipe. What a pure voice. And Michael is so quirky and funny. He always makes me smile. Thank you all for sharing joy with the world. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas all the LA Landers, so happy Nati found her person in such a handsome man.
And such a beautiful person he seems to be inside. So warm, caring, funny, charismatic, calming, soothing, there is something so special about him.
Awww Nati & Ameury holding hands , Merry Xmas 🎄
I know. I dis a happy dance!
I loved the singing part at the end with everyone putting in their little part of it but when you all started to sing in the chapel it gave me chills. It was beautiful. Merry Christmas to you all and to all a goodnight.
Absolutely incredible advent series this year. You truly outdid yourselves. Hope you can take some well-deserved rest.
Absolutely spectacular singing in the chapel!!! Loved the leading up to it, everyone humming their part! All of it was just wonderful!!! Thank you each and everyone at Lalande. Merry Merry Christmas!!🎄🎄
Loved Uncle's rendition of 'Sunshine of Your Love' at the end. And so nice to see Nat and Amaury have finally come out in public, it's been so obvious for months! Merry Christmas everyone ❤
I wish you all the return of the joy you have given us
The singing........ oh my. Words fail me emotions do not ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I loved your singing of Carol of the Bells, I used to sing the high soprano part in my choir. I noticed Nati and Amaury holdings hands, so sweet. I am so glad the dear people of La Lande are finding love. 😊 A very Merry Christmas from Washington State, USA
So gorgeous, every moment right up to the last carol. There are not enough words to thank you for bringing the love and beauty to this night by sharing your lives.
The singing was beautiful! It gave me chills.
The moment I heard the carol my heart stop, the four of you singing brought so many memories from my childhood at my grandparent’s home in Christmas time. Thank you so much Stephanie for all the joy you and your Lalanders bring to our homes. Merry Christmas and God bless you all. 🎄
Sooooooooo happy for Nati and Amaury! ❤️👍🏼❤️❤️

From Maine USA
Oh my word!! That was so good! All of it!!
This was perfect celebration, food, thoughtful gifts, festive clothes, and the singing...loved roving around the chateaux, with everyone singing, then the highlight of glorious carol in the chapel, with the lovely nativity, God's gift of peace.
Thanks for the Amazing singing in the chapel! Your Aunt and Uncle are great fun! I had to do a double take with Nati and Amaury! So cute together. I thought something was simmering! Happy Christmas !
