The advent calendars gave me an idea! I don't get gifts for any occasion ever, no one celebrates with me. So next year I am going to buy myself an advent calendar. That would be fun and festive and at least the inside will be little surprises. 😁 NOTE: OMG thanks you guys are wonderful thank you. I didn't mean to make a wave, but I truly appreciate your kind words.
I’m kind of sad not seeing Ruby being made the same fuss out of as the dogs. I have 3 orange cats, they are just the sweetest most wonderful beings . ( I actually lost my 3 other cats this year, my dog 3 years ago and another cat 2 years ago😢) Ruby deserves more attention and love, she’s so cute and loving. She wants cuddles all the time ❤ I love animals and have worked with rescue for years, mostly cats, but also dogs and bunnies. At the most I had 12 cats here, 6 of them kittens, that was an interesting Christmas 😂😂😂
Poor Ruby. He gets nothing. Hope he gets a stonking great Xmas present! Marie, you need a coaster under any hot drinks at the mahogany dining room table, or you will get horrid white heat ring marks. A nice christmassy one would be nice. I love a good advent calendar😄
Merry Christmas! The Wedgewood advent calendar is amazing! I look forward to each day to see what shall be revealed in each calendar. Jared's creation will always be my favorite. Love to all.
I fell in love with the model of the Chateau. He is so talented. Wonderful job! It is nice you remembered the Pets at the Chateau too. They all deserve a nice treat.
I am telling you if I could ever get in the same room with Gerald we would have you guys in stitches for days. Our stomachs would be hurting from laughter.
The Advent Calendars are so nice. Using them again is such a great idea! I love Galahads gifts. The food at the pub looks so good. You all are very lucky, and we are lucky that you share it with us. Good cheer and blessings to you all.
I know. I really worry about Ruby getting older and being left outside like he is during winter. It might be kinder to re home him in old age if they don’t want an indoor cat. At a minimum, make him a little house in one of the storage/work rooms and put a heated pad in each morning and night.
@@EmmaT537some cats don’t transition well from outdoor to indoor life. My parents had an outdoor cat that lived to age 19. His last couple winters they tried to bring him in on occasion, especially at night. He would protest by peeing on things and yowl until they let him out. So they made sure he had some good hidey holes to snuggle up in when he wanted and he was perfectly content.
In the area here cats always find a place inside a barn or a garden house, shed. My cats are inside and out and sometimes I am astonished that they prefer to stay outside early morning or during the night, when it s freezing cold. Their fur smells of earth, so they might even have slept or stayed on the cold ground ... they can go in and out as they want 🐱
Oh I’m so glad your using this music again for the intro, I love it & such lovely shots of snowy Lalande ☺️ Great to see Jared’s Advent Chateau & reusing the beautiful calendar boxes filled with goodies. What a lovely start to Advent 🥰
@808darwin ruby is looked after for godsake !! Dont you watch vlogs when Maria is feeding ruby and the peacocks !! If I was Stephanie I'd be bloody sick off the comments on here about her neglecting ruby !!! She did wrap treats up for ruby try watching the vlog !!
These make me so happy. What a wonderful idea to refill beautiful advent calendars with new goodies. I get inspiration daily from these videos. Thank you for sharing!
So looking forward to the Advent vlogs. Used to love the ones with Michael Petherick. Sometimes it is difficult in Australia to get into the Xmas spirit on a 35’ day. The vlogs really help. Thanks again!!!!❤
Loved this video thank you ❤ I too purchased a empty Libertys calendar from Vinted and will be using it to surprise the people I support in my job to give them lovely gifts x
Happy first day of Advent to everyone! Enjoyed seeing a glimpse of your mother’s Framingham home. Loved your father’s painting! What fun with all the Advent calendars, both large and small🎉. Looks like you’ve lucked out with Vinted Stephanie! You may need to add a Wedgwood tree in the Wedgwood room to display the new items. Never too many Christmas trees eh! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🐈⬛🤣😂❤️❤️
Lovely video for advent. I couldn't find any calendars that I thought were worth the price so I made my teenage grandaughters advent calendars with drawers too. We can reuse it and I got to put stuff in I know they will like.! Let the season begin!
Happy advent to you all lovely people ,please don’t forget darling Ruby she’s so lovely ❤❤what a fantastic idea to reuse the advent calendar and tailor the gifts to each person
This has been lovely - I followed Marie’s channel back when she started her flower shop - before cookery school- such a melodic voice visiting with us today. ❤Thank you merci ! We Adore the advent calendars and gentle personalities- and doggo Galahad.🐿️🇨🇦🇫🇷🇬🇧🎄❤️⛄️❄️🍁
Hello there, I don't get to excited about Christmas any more but I'll be happy to watch your advent unfold! Thank you for doing a real American Thanksgiving. I enjoyed it alot.
I don't like the the holidays, they make me melancholy. But, for the past few years I've watched TCD Advent videos and have loved them. So, thank you for bringing me some joy for the season.
I'm conflicted, b/c I love to entertain and look after people, but I have no one to dote on. So, I feel the same about CD. My heart goes out to you though I don't know your story.
We have used two Boots advents calendars from years past and have done our own like you. Such great fun, a present every day in December. It is great finding things through the year to put in. Will deffo to it again.
Loved the intro! Short and sweet. I also liked how you jumped from location, past and present. Thank you for doing Advent. I really appreciate all the work you put into it; it brings joy to so many including me!
Where are Ruby's treats he always gets ignored. It is very sad. Aren't cats liked at LA Land is it all about the dogs? Has RUBY got a beautifully soft and warm cocoon to sleep in. Does he get treats? Is he brushed and who sees to taking him to the vet?
I LOVE that you are reusing the advent calendars! It makes them more precious in my opinion. 🥰 Growing up, me and my brother had a tapestry-like calendar each; it was a thicker sack-cloth backing with a cross-stitch Christmas scene (very Swedish in style!) made by our grandmother. I think it was a diy-kit sort of thing. There were little brass rings sewn on, each with an embroidered number, were my parents would hang a small wrapped gift while we were sleeping (only a few went up at a time so we wouldn't be too tempted 😉) and at Christmas morning (24th for us) we had a note that started a treasure hunt for the last gift! It was magical and my mother was such an angel of Christmas and she loved it so much too. It's just not been truly Christmas since she passed. 💔 But one way for me to feel connected to her and to grandma is to have an advent calendar and to do lots of baking and "making Christmas" in general. It's a precious time of the year for me.💝 I always look forward to The Christmas Diaries every year since it started! 🥰☃🎄🎀🕯🌟🌃
oh la la !!! plusieurs calendriers de l'Avent !!!! très jolie idée !!! Percy est adorable pour servir le thé !!! 😄 Verra t'on Philip sans son bonnet ? c'est étrange de le voir porter son bonnet à l'intérieur ! 😳 Super déjeuner à l'anglaise ! 😋 Marie assure très bien le relai du vlog à Lalande ! 😄 à bientôt !! 🌺🌺🌺
Fortnum and Mason is a very expensive brand along with all the other Advent gifts. Have you thought about buying less expensive Advent gifts and donating to charity? I’m sure some treats for Ruby wouldn’t have broken the bank. The Advent calendar’s first Marie and Natti were very thoughtful.
I actually love the smell of hay, so a candle that smells of fresh cut hay just might surprise you and really freshen up the room. It's a fresh, sweet, grassy, out doors scent.
Marie, dogs have a strange compulsion to bury a bone , that was what Galahad was looking to do. I've been banned from giving my daughters dog a bone for this reason, as he would bury it under their feather pillows
I really liked the Wedgewood advent calendar, mom has wedgewood plates from the 70's and I always have liked the official Chateau advent calender, How could I not like the one with Rosemary in it ! Lol Thanks everyone !!
Fun seeing your family together starting advent, and all the calendars. Looks like Phillip will need a tiny tree or garland as the month progresses. Thank you for the Christmas diaries!
Please don't forget Ruby xxx❤
I loved Jared's La Lande model, it was such a massive surprise when he made it, so very talented. Love going between England & France.
I've missed Jared this year. Wonder where he is?
Jared is so talented! He made for you the gift that keeps on giving!
Great idea to reuse advent calendars. So glad that Marie and Nati get blessed! Very thoughtful.
Where is the Chanel Advent calendar??!?
Jared's model is LEGENDARY, such a talented person!!
Ruby needs an Advent treat too! Dont forget the kitty!
If I am any judge, Ruby won't stand still for being ignored, never fear!
The advent calendars gave me an idea! I don't get gifts for any occasion ever, no one celebrates with me. So next year I am going to buy myself an advent calendar. That would be fun and festive and at least the inside will be little surprises. 😁
NOTE: OMG thanks you guys are wonderful thank you. I didn't mean to make a wave, but I truly appreciate your kind words.
🫶🎁 great idea Lisa! 🥰
@@lisaakinlabi I think I'll do that too
Why wait, get one this year!
I love the idea.
Get one this year! In fact, get two! They go on sale now. Open one in advent, open the other one 24days before your birthday!
So sad Ruby seemingly has been left out. Please don't forget him😢😻❤️
Oh no. What about the THOR FAMILY??? STEPHANIE..??... RUBY AND THOR FAMILY ......OH. MUST CORRECT. STEPHANIE 😂
Definitely Ruby, Thor and company need their treats too. Please don’t forget them 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Don’t forget Ruby Stephanie!!!❤. Treats
I’m kind of sad not seeing Ruby being made the same fuss out of as the dogs.
I have 3 orange cats, they are just the sweetest most wonderful beings .

@ I agree Ruby needs more love!❤️
@@malina1239Ruby is a male cat. They should have re-named him Rudy when they realised he was a male cat.
@@malina1239 HE IS NOT A HOUSE CAT!!!! doesn't mean he is ignored, and I'm sure Marie would be very upset to see all the negative comments....
Poor Ruby. He gets nothing. Hope he gets a stonking great Xmas present! Marie, you need a coaster under any hot drinks at the mahogany dining room table, or you will get horrid white heat ring marks. A nice christmassy one would be nice. I love a good advent calendar😄
What about Ruby??? Wish we can see more of Ruby in your Vlogs Stephanie 😢😢😢
I hope Amaury and Molly are keeping Ruby warm and loved. She seems to be forgotten by everyone else. 😥😥
he is never forgotten....just because he is not a house cat, he is not always seen!!!
Marie feeds him and looks after him. Everyone looks out for him. Ruby is a working cat. Not all cats live inside a house!
@@donnaschmink1801 "working cat" 😂.
Commuting every morning to the garden and forest chasing mice ... ❤
yeah would have been nice if they'd included Ruby in the advent calendar. (just saying)
Merry Christmas! The Wedgewood advent calendar is amazing! I look forward to each day to see what shall be revealed in each calendar. Jared's creation will always be my favorite. Love to all.
I fell in love with the model of the Chateau. He is so talented. Wonderful job! It is nice you remembered the Pets at the Chateau too. They all deserve a nice treat.
The cat is always ignored, there is no love shown to it. I feel terribly sad for the poor thing.
The small chateau is just beautiful! What a little masterpiece!
Enjoyed seeing Mummy & Percy ‘s beautiful home! Absolutely beautiful intro!
And Beautiful Ruby!! And watch the Bell with Galahad
Happy Christmas All
Where's Ruby's treats...Oh Please include Ruby.....
Ruby get food Marie gives him treat.dont worry
I am telling you if I could ever get in the same room with Gerald we would have you guys in stitches for days. Our stomachs would be hurting from laughter.
Don't forget Rubi !! 💖
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄 ❤
Love and respect from Canada

@@EmmaT537I am sure Marie is taking care of Rubi🤗
@denisemarle4141 his a outside cat 🐈!! For god sake it's looked after !! Not neglected !!

My Mother had that tea set in the 70's

What an absolute joy is Percy. Keep well, keep strong and keep holding Isobel’s hand into the forever future. You two are joy personified. ❤️❤️❤️
Stephanie!!!!! Phillip!!!!!!
Ruby deserves Christmas treats and gifts . She works in the woodshop or around the chateau 24/7 right???
And maybe a nice snuggly bed or house since she's always outside or in the out buildings??
YES PATROLLING FOR MICE!!!
Ruby is a HE (male cat).

I can’t believe little Ruby has not been mentioned
Ruby needs a treat, and a lap!
Stephanie you are so creative 💖
My favorite is the tea and biscuits one, but seeing all the different advent calendars was so much fun.
Happy first day of Advent to everyone!

Beautiful Advent Calendars.
The Spode Advent Calendar is my favorite. Miniature treasures. The Lalande Advent Calendar will be the classic for years to come.
Wow impressive collection of advent calendars! So cheerful.
You better buy a cat advent calendar. The community is starting an uprising 😂
Hello there, I don't get to excited about Christmas any more but
I'll be happy to watch your advent unfold!
Thank you for doing a real American Thanksgiving. I enjoyed it alot.
I didn't know young Jared had made the LaLande advent calendar... it's amazing!
Blessed first day of Advent to you and to the world!
What a joyous start to December...Sandi x

Wowsers, the tea advent calendar is so tempting. And the magnalium tea set. One of my favourite mid 20th century design groups.
What about Ruby , she is family also I'm very sad you forgot the kittie.
Ruby doesn't get forgot
@@candicecharles5375he clearly does get forgotten, no Christmas advent treats for Ruby Being fed every day is a bare minimum
@@NeckasFBIAgent okay

Stephanie, the first thing I noticed was the magnificent way you have tied your scarf. Please let me in on the secret. It looks gorgeous.
Love the familiar music in the intro, and the green dress!

Ha, our chowchow used to hide her biscuit under pillows or in slippers.
Jared is an artistic genius! The pub food looks divine!
😸😺 I’ve just read through the previous comments; I lost count of “Ruby” being mentioned! 😸😺 Bless!
i have never seen such lovely advent calendars - very sweet of you stephanie to make special ones for marie and nati!
And sweet little Ruby is forgotten, how sad.

I loved seeing your mother's home. It's lovely!
Aww what a lovely first advent vlog.🙏
I received a beautiful puzzle advent this year.
Happy Advent everyone! 🫶
Goodness the last year has flowen by.
Reusing advent calanders is a wonderful idea.
I was under the impression that the chateau had a new heating system. Am I mistaken? I notice everyone wearing their coats inside.
Beautiful start of the season of Advent! I always enjoy the Christmas Diaries from LaLande. Thank you Stephanie🙏🎄❤️🇨🇦
Love all the thoughtful advent calendars, but the wedgewood one is so beautiful!!
You’ll have to buy one of those little Christmas trees with lights for the wedge wood room and and put the tiny ornaments one 😍it’ll be adorable !
Fun seeing your family together starting advent, and all the calendars. Looks like Phillip will need a tiny tree or garland as the month progresses. Thank you for the Christmas diaries!
That poor cat.
Don’t forget Ruby ❤🐈
I was about to say! Is Ruby chopped liver???
I feel all Advented out watching . 😄❤🩹🌲🍵🎄🎁🎈
Stephanie!!!!! Phillip!!!!!!
Ruby deserves Christmas treats and gifts . She works in the woodshop or around the chateau 24/7 right???
