I used to show the gifts as part of ' @The Chateau Diaries ' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.

It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖

  • I can see where Armuary gets his quiet unassuming nature from......his lovely Mum and Dad. Best wishes go everyone.
  • As an Arab, I know for a fact that the bateel gift is a very special and expensive one, sultana definitely represented her saudi culture at best 💚
  • I'm an American and can remember my dad making Tom & Jerry's from the time I was a little girl. When I was 20 was the first time he offered me one. I was so surprised and happy. He passed away when I was 22. Thanks for reminding me of such a lovely Christmas memory.
  • Your Aunt and Uncle are just delightful, thanks for sharing.
  • What an enchanting Cadeaux vlog this one is. Sultana from Saudi Arabia has the most stylish Xmas gift taste ever !!! The coat is a dream... How special your Aunt and Uncle are. The sense of family makes us all think of and gravitate to our own. XXXX Thank you for spreading the JOY 🎄🎄💖💖
  • Phillip always has a suggestion as to where every gift would be best placed. I have a suggestion that he include the websites for all vendors (like the date vendor) in the description since they do want name recognition as well. Thanks Phillip 😉
  • I am a 52-year-old American that has never heard of the drink Tom and Jerry but now I am intrigued. I too thought of the cartoon lol you all opening these presents just make it so much fun, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody gets so excited about the paper and cards not to mention the ribbon it is just so fun to watch so thank you.
  • Such a beautiful coat! What a magnificent and considered gift
  • Merry Christmas to All the LaLanders❤🎉😊I have enjoyed the Family So much the last two years. Thanks to All!🎄🎁
  • @CG-gm8fe
    I love the jacket too.....the way the pattern gradually enlarges on the shawl collar as it follows to the hem....so gorgeous.
  • I taught ESL and had many lovely generous Saudi students who brought boxes and boxes of dates in all forms to class and as gifts...lovely and generous people...like Sultana
  • Sutana your thoughtfulness filled the Chateau with Love and Dates!
  • Stephanie! Your hair is most decidedly not mouse!! Rather it’s a very elegant blonde. Truly.
  • I’m a 75 year old American and have seen Tom and Jerry Punch Bowls and Cups all my life and I always thought they had something to do with the cartoon Tom and Jerry. Thanks for the education Stephanie.
  • I am overwhelmed by the generosity of my fellow subscribers. A merry Christmas indeed xxx
  • I have never in my life wanted a date so much! Tom and Jerry's was a Christmas tradition when my parents were alive.
  • Tom and Jerry on a snowy night! The Bedouin jacket is beautiful on Stephanie. Quite an heirloom. Wonderful advent Cadeau. Dates in meringue is really good too.
  • @JackL75
    Having never heard of "Tom and Jerry" before, I had to immediately find out how it was made since I happen to have (along with thousands of others, I'm sure) the recipe for George Washington's celebrated brew for Eggnog. It seems the apple falls closer to the tree than we imagine, sometimes. According to my source, while a North American tradition, the drink of Tom and Jerry actually hails from merry old England in the 1820's. Who'd a thunk it? Merry Christmas to all. Jack La Forge
  • What wonderful gifts you have received the coat is spectacular Stephanie and looks beautiful on you the dates look so yummy and the advent calendars are fabulous
