The chandelier is magnificent, but Phillips hair is even better. He really should be a model along with Amaury. You should do a la lande calendar with all the regular residents. The tartan tree is beautiful

Could we have a christmas decor tour of everything when everything is done 🤩🎄

I’ve watched you since the beginning and it’s hard to even imagine you without Phillip now. What a wonderful partnership and caring relationship you two have. It really is heartwarming

I agree. I think they are a wonderful match.

gorgeous tree for the Winter Salon. boyfriends are so good with instructions; i'm not. it was funny when Stephanie found humor in Philip putting the tree upright & then proceeding to predict that the branches are going to fall on him & then rescue him from being buried in the branches. the chandelier is gorgeous there, also.

Omg I see the tiny rocking chair ornament I sent a while ago I never knew if it made it to Lalande and it did!!!!! This just made my day!!!!

I know it takes a lot of work, but Lalande during the Christmas holiday is magical ✨️

The chandeliers from Anders in Denmark have really made such a difference! They are both so, so gorgeous, and - well spotted, Anders - they really fit in, like they have always been there! I suffer deeply from Chandelier envy, so Anders - if you have any more, lying around, then I am much closer! I also live in DK!! 😂The decanter for the aquavit, and the little glasses are also from Denmark, made by Holmegaard, so quite a few danish influences today 🇩🇰😂 The new tree is perfectly proportioned for the room, and the tartan theme was just made for the winter salon! Oh, I can already feel it... I'm going to miss the daily vlogs...

From Norway, 🤣 Akevitt (aquavit) with pizza? We drink it when eating the traditional Norwegian Christmas food that has strong flavors and a lot of fat. A strong, traditional aquavit then acts as a tasteful contrast to the food. The aquavit cleans the mouth and resets the taste buds before the next mouthful, which provides a better meal experience. And then we celebrate Christmas Eve, going to church, home eating pinne kjøtt (salt dried lam Meat from the ribb), then gifts are opend. So you should have asked Marie 🥰 We love the advent calender, admire all the work you put into this. You inspired our x-mas tree decoration this year.😍🤩 Merry Christmas from Fredrikstad, 🇳🇴

I just can't stop smiling - the tartan theme warms my heart, the tree is perfect, the decorations throughout the room are whimsical. Thanks to all of the Lalonde family for bringing advent to life!

Balsam Hill is kind of the top-of-the-line faux Christmas Tree maker, I think! Such an amazing selection. I’m back on the “real tree” bandwagon, and I prefer not to put it up too early, but I tried to convince my mom to get one of these easy-set-up Balsam Hill ones

From one Scottish Lass to another I love the tartan tree. My Father's family are Welsh, Scottish and Native American (Cherokee & Mohawk). All of the decorations are so beautiful. Merry Advent to all at Lalande, can't wait to see Gerald, Isabel, Percy and the rest of the Lalande family.❤️🙏❄️🌨️☃️🕯️🎄🎀🎁🧑‍🎄🏰

The tree looks very beautiful, the entire room looks like from a christmas fairytale

Hi there. I recognition the christmas bottes. I have one from 1985. The collection was created in 1981 bt the danish company holme gaard. Cheers!

I think another great advent video would be similar to what you’ve done with Michael Petherick in the past. A video about Christmas gifts from your charity shops. That was a great episode!

Sometimes I expect Phillip to say, "Don't you think we have enough Christmas trees," but then I remember this is Phillip we're talking about. Love his shoes - he's always so well-dressed. I hope they make it as a couple because there will never be another guy who loves decorating as much as Stephanie does.

Can’t take my eyes off the BEAUTIFUL chandelier! The winter salon with tree is looking so different and absolutely lovely. 🎄

Now people have to move the elf around to different locations every day. 🤣🤣🤣 I thank God that was not a 'thing' when my kids were young. 🤣🤣

Endless creativity at LaLande! What a beautiful tree. Philip's gray sweater and scarf combo is especially flattering. Nice cut!

Good evening Dear lovely De Lalande Family ! I must admit ! Stéphanie you are looking so glamorous with your gorgeous curls.

Oh dear ones at Lalonde! You have helped this 74 year old grandmother to start the fun of Advent and Christmas! God bless you all during this wonderful holiday season!

Hello from a 73 year old grandmother in Texas! Merry Christmas.

That is one beautiful tree!

When I think you guys have outdone yourselves in decorating one room after another, you keep getting better!!!! This tree and room is stunning!!! Love everything about it! Gerald is going to be overwhelmed when he sees it. The attention to detail is incredible. I love how Philip put a “necklace” on the bust on the fireplace and the red ornaments with the horses. The music was really good while you 2 were decorating…and might I say it has a very catchy tune…😉. I so look forward to these Advent videos. Keep them coming please!!! 👍🏻💜🥰🍷🙏

So lovely Stephanie!🤗🎶❤️Sending you all best wishes from Norway!🇳🇴😄🦔🎄☕️

Beautiful, beautiful tree! And the chandelier! I use to have a smaller chandelier that had fewer shades. I bought red shades to replace them at Christmas. What a festive touch! Or, maybe Philip could figure out a way to temporarily cover them in LaLande tartan. 🎄

Love the colors and the room. So happy Scotman will be with you this year!

Been on my own since I was 18; now 69, and I always did my tree myself because I'm a perfectionist when it came to placing the ornaments I'd been collecting my whole life and were so precious to me. Age has made it too hard for me to be so fussy and my only child took over the honors. We had cheap artificial trees her whole life (she's now 49) I've been a single unwed mother since age 20 and worked as a carpenter (I feel so close to your dear cousin) for 24 years until I retired, moved from the cold of Chicago to Orlando and went to work for the Walt Disney Company 17 years! Disabled now and finally retired. 3 years ago I got something I'd wanted for years but I got it as Christmas in July sale for my daughter's birthday gift! A BALSAM HILL TREE! She loved its quality and how easy it was to decorate; we have a revolving tree stand for it! And when COVID hit in 2019 we just left it up!! Its beauty and cheerful lights got us through the dark depressing years of the pandemic---I'm waiting for this year's after Christmas sale and buy a smaller tree for my bedroom--can't wait!

The new chandelier is stupendously gorgeous!! The Winter Salon is happy!💕

As a dane I must say that you are so brave drinking snaps with pizza and chocolate. We only drink it with herring on rye bread or salmon where it cuts through the fattyness of the fish with it's strong taste. Drink it cold and it will clear your palette nicely.

Loved the look on Jared and Pasadena faces at the Yule drink!. Thats some tree!

Absolutely meant to be!!!🤣🤣🤣

thank you so much for sharing your Xmas preperations with us all. Some of us no longer have any family to celebrate with directly so this is the next best thing :-) Your tree is OUR tree💖💖🏰🏰✨✨

Wow,every room and tree you have decorated have been uniquely gorgeous.This tree, with the tones of green on the wall and up against the green drapes,really makes the red and gold in the tree pop! All the garland and tartan theme makes it traditionally Christmasy- but with ur own twist! 🎄🎄♥️

The winter salon is my favorite room and this year the tartan tree is stunning. Gerald is going to be so happy, he’ll blend right in….😅. You all did a splendid job. I love the kitchen too. Have a beautiful week. ❤❤❤❤

Phillip, I really love your selection of music for the Advent. It really ups the game. Thank you for another great Advent!

Watching the advent days is great fun. Thank you all. Stephanie and Phillip, it is really worth the work you have to put in.

Hello Stephanie and crew. I was just re-watching the very first Christmas advent video with Philip in the Chambre de les Oiseau (Birdy Bedroom) and (apart from holding my breath every time one of you stood in front of the mantelpiece and waved your elbows about near that large vase) I noticed at around 22 minutes in there is a shot of Philip looking upwards and you can clearly see the crack at the top of the wall. That was two years ago and from what I remember when I last visited the Chateau in September, It hasn't got any worse than it looked back then. I think there is plenty of time to fix it before it falls down as long as you don't poke it with a stick anytime soon.

What a stunning Christmas tree!!! 🎄 🤗❤️❄️🥶🎶🌟🇨🇦🇫🇷🎅

That tree arrived wrapped against any catastrophe. Incredible decorations and the fireplace just adds that cosy Christmas atmosphere. I love Andy's tartan paper. Phillip's stars are amazing.🎄🧑‍🎄🌟🔥

What a tremondous tree and superb decorations. XXX

Gerry is going to love it 😂😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤ 🎄🎄🎄🎄 Good job, guys 🥰 Merry Advent 🤶🏻🎅🏻

you never fail to stun with the beauty of your trees merci

Spectacular job this year!!! I wish I could be sitting in one of those gold chairs right now! Merry Christmas to everyone at Lalande!🎄🧸

Great looking room. I love the green painted walls and dark trim together. Then throw in all of the furniture etc. Looks like a magazine photo.

The tree looks lovely 😁 And I can't wait to see Jerry at the Chateau ❤ SQUEEEEEEE 😁😁😁

Okay! Piece of advice regarding the tartan tree. I leave the tree cover on. I gather it at the bottom of the tree in order to simply draw the tree cover up over the tree when I am putting it away. I drape the tree skirt over the cover to hide it which gives it a nice depth and angle and then when the tree is about to be stored away, you simply pull the cover up and over the tree to live in Narnia until next year. Scotsman will love this tree! When are Isabelle and Percy returning? I am interested in knowing what Alexander’s volunteer tasks are if he isn’t making curtains. Everyone else at the chateau work all of the hours that Gawd sends. I am so impressed that you are soldiering on despite the scary structural bad news. Big hugs from Canada!

Great music,,I love your vlogs.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree .. how lovely are thy branches 🎄 just beautiful .. the whole room so festive ☺️❤️

Spectacular room well done. Greetings from England

Hello from wellington

As lovely as all the specific colour coordinated trees are, nothing can beat the traditional red, green and gold ones! Especially adding TARTAN to the mix - is the icing on the cake ....err no ...the SNOW on the tree!!🤣👌👏🎄✝️❤️

I love your vlogs and all thing Lalande. I also am thriller that you have the aquavit👍here in Norway it is a must for Christmas ☺️but be aware🤪it will give you a kick😆that is the reason why the shot glasses are so small. Happy advent to you all❤️

Wow, what a gorgeous tree! That was so Christmassy Steph and Phillip....thank you!

Your hair looks beautiful today Stephanie, it is always lovely. But it looks extra lovey today.

The tree is lovely and I'm with you - love the red vs pink. Delightful that you have honored Gerry with the tartan theme; he is pure gold (overlaid with a tartan plaid of course.) The love and respect you and Phillip share is such a bonus. It was shocking when you two were "outed" but it has been a gift to us to be able to share in the warmth of your love. I hope that in retrospect the freedom it has given you to relax and celebrate your love has become a bonus to you two as well.

I’d love to see the chandelier without the shades. Your tree is beautiful. 🎄🎁

Warm and lovely, with snow right on cue!

Have to say that the chandelier is exceptional, a truly impressive focal point of elegant lighting.

Your lives are amazing🥰 and the tree looks great there.Thankyou for taking us along with you 🤗

Absolutely beautiful 🎄 everything you both touch turns out so lovely! Merry Christmas to everyone at Lalande🤶🏻🎅🏼🎄

Now that’s Christmas and with the snow even better guys xx
