4th Day of Christmas, The Chateau Tree
Bonjour à tous,
It’s the fourth day of Christmas at the château and a special treat for Tracy.
All Tracy has wanted was a beautiful Christmas tree at the front of the château, but not all goes to plan with the tree Tracy picked out from the château grounds.
Stay tuned till the end for the start of our 12 days of Christmas song 😂🥰

We just like to thank everyone for sending us some beautiful Christmas cards, we ready do appreciate it 🥰🥰
ABOUT US,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

I was crying happy tears at Tracey getting her big tree in front of the chateau! I hope you plan to plant one there to grow and decorate every year! I think what is so meaningful to me about your videos is how much you all seem to care about and respect one another. You celebrate each other’s accomplishments and each of you have the skills to complement one another in your work together.
Seeng the two trees in the grand room made me tear up. It made it all real, bringing life back to the chateau. The last scene showing the outside Christmas tree glowing and then the lit up gates was breathtaking.
Thanks Claudette. Yes it does look truly stunning :)
The neighbors & the village must be thrilled to see the chateau coming back to life. Great job everyone. Merry Christmas.
Jonathans teacher loved it :) she passes on her way to school :) it does look amazing :)
That’s so true, people love to see some abandon homes or buildings be saved. I bought a house that was foreclose and empty for about over 10 years, and was recently bought to partly renovated. A neighbor who walks by daily stopped by to tell us she was soooo happy come back to life. So kudos to this family for doing this beautiful project, such a massive project. Labor if love.
The lights look beautiful! I'm so glad you boys did this for Tracy...she works so hard right beside you guys!!!
Thanks Elizabeth. She’s amazing and we just wanted to make sure Tracy got the tree she deserves :)
Each one is better than the last. Tracy works so hard and is such a positive force; it was truly nice to get the outside tree for her!
Oh those lights! What a magical treat for those who’ve been driving by the old darling all forlorn for decades to see the lights and know she’s back!
France is lucky to have acquired such a very kind family. I just love you all. Thank you for showing the world what presence is, and kindheartedness, and how it accomplishes such monumental tasks.
This brought tears to my eyes, so beautifully done by beautiful people. I wait every night for your videos and it's always exciting to see what you're gonna do next. Love you all.
I love the way the whole family pulls together in work and play bringing an extra joy to it all. Even the pooches are loving the extra festivities.
The dogs love it when we are out digging. They always want to join in with us :)
@@ashleywaters7198 I could see that Patrick was mad at it. He takes his digging serious. 😂
The trees look magnificent I would never have thought of having two in the same room. Terry certainly has an eye for interior designing which makes these videos so interesting and exciting to watch. What a team!
Thanks Angela. Yes he does. We all just trust him as he is amazing with it :)
@@ashleywaters7198 JUST….🤣
The tree and lights on the outside of the chateau are beautiful! I know Tracy must be very happy! 😊 😃
Tracy is over the moon :) thanks Kathy :)
The view of your big tree out front just literally took my breath away when it appeared on screen! It is stunning - simple and elegant and shows off the chateau so beautifully! What a sweet & thoughtful effort Terry and Ash made for Tracy. She couldn’t believe her eyes. I will admit, it brought tears to my eyes. xx
Wow! The lights on the outdoor tree, the spotlights & the railings look fabulous!! Well done team you work so hard 🌲🎄🎅🏻🎉🍾
Thanks Alison :) we do try :)
The tree and gates looked spectacular, I am sure everyone passing is enjoying it too.
Hopefully so! Thanks Joy :)
It’s so wonderful to feel apart of such a loving family, it’s absolutely heartwarming especially at Christmas. May God bless you all and your incredibly difficult achievements. You guys are the best. Go Mama and Pa pa and boys try to keep up ! Love & luck to you all and the dogs. Dana,the old Scotsman from long Island, N.Y. 👏🙏💕🎄🥂🏴
Thanks Dana. We are loving doing them and love reading comments like this too! God bless you and your family too!
What a dote Ash is! Love his childlike delight at the tree and working stove before!! He is great with Jonathan, too😊
Wow, just wow, that Christmas tree looks like it’s always been there, it would be lovely to have a living tree there so you could just decorate it each year. You have all worked so incredibly hard to get to this stage, and the reward is wonderful Xmas trees, I found it very moving and thank you for allowing us to follow you 🙏🏻🎄
Thank you :) yes we are going to be planting them now for future years :)
You just want t to hug Tracy. She is such a lovely person. The smile on her face, following her Christmas tree, is priceless. This is so heartwarming to watch.
Tracey is blessed to have all her lovely boys. 🎄
I'm so happy for you Tracy...you sure do deserve the extra special tree with thousands of lights. You have a wonderful family who no doubt looks after you and that's super! What a gorgeous selection of Christmas trees! Well done! The final picture showing the lit tree against the front of your gorgeous chateau.....WOW!!!!
Thanks Norma! Yes Tracy is amazing! :)
I was thinking this hard working team have been through a lot and now they get treat themselves to something they have worked hard for in getting the Christmas tree! You all are the sweetest group of people!
Absolutely magical. Chateaux looks beautiful. As soon as your vlog starts I break into a smile - my jaw hurts by the end of the video. Can’t wait to see the fully decorated trees indoors. Loved it. Xx
WOW!!! As if the fireplace, the mirror and those two fabulous real trees in the salon weren't enough....there was the surprise tree for Tracy! So very well done Ash and Terry. Tony too, stringing the lights along the front, what a good sport you are! I don't know how you will ever top this Christmas! I love it when Tracy is surprised with good stuff! Best son and son in law ever!!!! ❤️🇨🇦 Mariya
Thanks Mariya! She’s the best mother in law ever and she deserves an amazing Christmas. :)
Aw that’s lovely Ash.
The chateau lit up looks truly stunning, well done to you all . Also the trees are all such a lovely shape. Look forward to seeing them decorated x
What a great family episode, and so sweet to go back and get that tree for Tracey. What would they do without you Ash? You are one in a million. You and Jonathan being silly in the car - silly, but so fun. Gorgeous trees you all got, but the ones cut down - not so much. Love the Christmas lights. Simple white, but looks so classy with the spotlights on the Chateau and the railing done.
Thank you :) I’m as daft as Jonathan so it’s easy 😂😂 think tracy thinks she has two 8 year olds sometimes :) 😂😂😂
amazing that two trees can suddenly make a room look cozy 🌲🌲
They are stunning :)
What a wonderful happy family you all are together. I love all of the smiles and laughs and the way you all interact in such a loving way. Beautiful!!!
love love love to hear Tracy laughing!
The two trees in the room are beautiful, what a great choice to get two, can't wait to see them decorated! 🎄🎄🎄They looked so big going in, but in the room it shows how grand it is. The tree outside for Tracy...well so heartwarming & watching Patrick help digging, was so cute! The ending with the tree and fence lights stunning! 🎄I just love the 12 days of Christmas song, it's fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care of yourselves, stay well! Much love Kathy x 🎄🎄Ontario, Canada
I'm loving the 12 days of Christmas. I was trying to find a funny word for combining Christmas and Chateau and all that stuck in my head was chatmas so I stopped. I hope you get some genuine down time. All the best from Australia. Ps I'm in love with Patrick
Christeau (like the Count of Monte)🎄💦
I just sneaked watching this video in and am now going out to play music so a celebration for christmas from the other side of the world. Absolutely love the trees, all of them, and what a huge impact those lights made to the chateau. It is going to be so, so beautiful in a few years. Love the two trees in the one room.
To meet a family who loves their lights and trees as much as my family do is wonderful. Absolutely love them all and you guys are so sweet sorting out the surprise outside tree. You are all a joy to watch 🎄🎄🎄
Wow, Alain has some equipment! I've never seen anything big enough to carry a whole tree away without cutting it up. I was wondering about those buildings behind your chateau and now you explained that they belong to the farm. Your tree and lighted gates are beautiful-- I wonder if you should plant a specimen evergreen there?
Tracey’s laugh is so heartwarming! Every video always lifts my spirits! Blessings on all of you🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
The lights and tree look wonderful I bet all the locals are thrilled to see life back in the old girl! Can't wait to see more decorations!
The spotlights were a brilliant idea , well done . Can’t wait to see the trees decorated 🎄🎄
A loving family giving Mum her special tree. 🦘🦘🦘
Stunning 🎄 Stunning 🎄 Absolutely stunning Christmas tree 🎄that was so thoughtful of y’all to surprise Tracy. I love the glow of the spot lights and Christmas lights on the tree!
Oh you two boys, are the most thoughtful ever! Making Tracy, feel the season and beginning to feel like a home. That’s was such a touching moment. Love it. Plus the two in the grand salon. Gorgeous trees! Love these chateau Christmas vlogs. Guys you have done so well on them! While still keeping up with daily chores! 👌🏼🙌🏼

Patrick did most of the work planting that tree! It looks beautiful. I look forward to seeing your videos
Haha. He has to help when it comes to digging! Thanks Barbara :)
The outside of the chateau with the tree and lights looks absolutely fab at night 🎄🎄🎄
The lights looks absolutely amazing. Well done. You could see the sparkle in Tracie's eyes.
Yes she loves them all :) thanks Harriet :)

Today bought a tear to my eyes it was so beautiful the whole effect of the lights on the railings and the spotlights on the chateau with the tree lit up. You are making lovely memories and even though you are living in a building site. It's just magical. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
Thanks Denise. Happy tears hopefully :) Merry Christmas and happy new year to you too :)
Doesn’t the Chateau look fabulous at night with the tree and Christmas lights! I bet the local villagers will be thrilled to see the Chateau coming back to life. Can’t wait to see the other trees decorated!

Hopefully they do :)
Just right beautiful.🎄🎄🎄Tracy you truly are a special lady. Well done boys.🤗❤️
The opening shots and music are beautiful and just joyful. Trees and chateau lit up at night look stunning 🥰🎄
Thanks Clare. Yes it looks stunning on a night. Especially if there is a little fog in the air. She looks like she’s wearing a halo :)
The Château has come to life for Christmas it looks stunning well done 👏
Beautiful!! It has to be wonderful for those around the chateau to see it lit up for Christmas again after all these years!
Yea it looks stunning :) thanks Holly :)
What a beautiful gesture to your mom bless you all
love..love..love this video!....i loved seeing the smile on Tracey's face when she saw the Christmas trees!...They will look beautiful in the Chateau!....It has been a pleasure watching your videos. You have come such a long way in the restoration of the Chateau. I remember the very first video you made. I loved watching your journey. From then on I was hooked!...You are a hard working family, and a blessing to watch. I will continue to support your channel by watching the videos and watching the ads all the way through. I wished I could do more. Looking forward to your next video! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
With as much dancing around the tree with lighting, it should be visible from the space station. It I’d beautiful and perfect.
That last night shot was fantastic 😃
Next year plant a permanent pine for every Christmas. Tracy loves it and would have something to look forward to.
Thanks Julie. We were actually talking about doing that today :)
@@ashleywaters7198 I think I will put some funds in Patreon so Tracy can have her permanent Christmas tree. It was uplifting to see her happiness.
Oh my word -- the final shot of the tree and the chateau at night is absolutely breathtaking. So beautiful!!
Thank you :)
With this beautiful video, the beautiful tree, spotlights etc I found it easy to see and imagine the grand parties and gatherings that surely took place here over the many, many years - hear the hooves of the horse drawn carriages pulling up... Just perfect. So happy for all of you to have weathered this first year, come through even stronger - happy, together after tons of hard work and: the chateau beaming it's thanks for filling it with fun and love once again. Thank you all for sharing your dreams.
Excellent job with the Christmas Tree and outdoor Lights - truly magical 🎄
Thank you
It would be a good thing to show this video to the man who sold the tree to you. Just to let him know how happy it made your Mom! He did a good deed for a wonderful woman!
That was just a gorgeous thing to do….❤️🎄
Thanks Adeline :)
Oh how beautiful chateau looks with Christmas tree and all the lights. How thoughtful of Terry and Ashley to get a special tree for Tracy. I loved the drone footage which showed up the wonderful autumnal colours of the trees. Now look forward to grand salon's Christmas decorations. Thank you for this video.
Tree is fabulous! love that all of you can put it up and decorate together! I miss having my mom being here to put up a tree with!
The boys certainly know how to put a smile on 'Mum's face'. Well done lads! 👍🎄🎄🎄👌
Looks great. These are going to be wonderful memories to look back on.
They sure are Lisa :) thank you :)?
The trees in the grand salon look lovely The tree outside looks fabulous a true winter wonderland Love to all Andrew 💐💜xx
Just love the chateau all lighted up.
Wow the Christmas tree 🎄 looks good and the Chateau all illuminated is absolutely stunning 😍
Such a sweet thing to do for Tracey! Bless you! Never noticed that you where so close to the road.
What a great joy you have provided for all the people driving by. You are all so close to each other and that brings happiness to we that are watching this transformation,
That tree outside is so so beautiful amazing..
I’m a tree hugger. It’s sad to see a tree taken down but I also realize it’s necessary at times and the view is nice. Your Christmas trees are perfect. Maybe you can plant a living tree there in the future. Fun video.
Hi Lucy. We are tree huggers too! These trees unfortunately had been sliced at the bases before we had bought the château and two had already died :( the others were all starting to, so we had no choice :( We will plant ten more for each tree we chopped down. That’s a promise :)
Aaah you guys are all so sweet.. Bless you all. Such a special thing to do for Tracy. Everything is coming together.. lolok at all those lights.. bringing the Château back to life with the lights for everyone to see and enjoy x
One word…..Awesome!
Thank you :)
Absolutely stunning. The perfect setting for Christmas lights. Well done Patrick and others of course.
Patrick made me laugh. He has to be in the middle of it all and trying to help by digging.
I have been meaning to post but i love your intros. Someone really does an excellent job. It looks so professional. The lighting, the wild live, the snow, and the drone shots look wonderful.
Terry is a magician!
I was smiling all the time what a great seprise this episode loved it Tracy desurfs it after all the hart work you all do 🌲❤🙏🥂 merry christmus chataux looking great at night

My Christmas wish for this channel is to have more Patreons they genuinely deserves it!! 🎄❣️

❤️🏰 Thank you for the vlog; Terry, Ash, Patrick, Panda and Tracy, Tony, Jonathan, Louie, Sasha ❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
People driving by on the highway will see your beautiful lights and be thrilled to see that the chateau has been brought back to life.🌲🏰
