Plus, Tracy gets another chair out of storage that Terry restored over a year ago.
Stay tuned till the end for 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.

Having been an educator for way over 30 years, I know an extraordinary child when I see one! Your little Jonathon is remarkable in every way. He is so polite and well mannered, he supplies an abundance of positive energy wherever he is, he's curious and intelligent, and wants to contribute whenever he can. Tracy and Tony you've done an outstanding job raising Jonathon and you might consider making a video about what are the key ingredients to raising a child during this time. Jonathon's uncles have made a positive impact on Jonathon's life, as well, therefore you should all be very proud of your youngest member of your very sweet family.
Thank you so much Sunny. He is a little ray of sunshine in all of our lives and we all wanted him here to give him the best possible life. Already fluent in French too after only a few months. It’s adorable listening to him read :)
Oh so true!
I loved seeing Tracy holding Jonathan, I could see him as a baby & toddler in her arms. Take every chance you can Tracy, he's growing so fast. And its wonderful to have recorded to watch and remember in years to come.
Thanks Aunty Tutu! It’s brilliant it’s all recorded and we can look back on these. We actually watched all the first episodes the other day and realised how far we had come in just a year :)
Tracy's delight is quite touching. Finally having a HOME is very important!
Absolutely Lisa! She’s loving the cottage :)
Terry, the tree decorations are gorgeous. Tracey, the mantel looks perfect and is such a great gift from a fan! Jonathon is a sweetheart. I’ve liked him from the first trip you made in the car on the way to France. He has the same sweet, friendly and slightly bashful quality as does his UncleTerry. What a wonderful channel this is. As you say on that side of the pond…a few bits and bobs to go …. Continuing to watch the talented Tony, Tracey, Terry, Ash and Jonathon from, PA, USA.
Thank you so much Paula :) Jonathan is growing up into a charming little fella. His french is amazing too already after only a few months. Merry Christmas :)
i've got to admit i'm especially loving the editing and music selection on these daily vlogs
Thanks Tim. Tez has done a great job :)
Extremely well done Terry!
@@ashleywaters7198 hi Ashley what program is being used to put the videos together in editing?
This brings me to tears, happy tears. Terry, is it you who does the editing and music because these vlogs are phenomenal. Tracy raised a wonderful son, that is for sure. Merry Christmas from Wisconsin, USA!
Thank you Linda :) Terry does all of the videos production, editing and directing himself! He’s very talented! I know I am biased but he is amazing :) Merry Christmas from chateau de Lalacelle ;)
I can’t believe how creative and talented you all are! The chair is gorgeous! Every vlog has a new surprise for your viewers. Love it! Happy holidays from Skip and Garry in the North Georgia (Appalachian mountains.)
Merry Christmas to you both too! Thank you for watching ;)
Jonathan is growing so fast. What a good looking young man and what an awesome life he has with all of your love surrounding him. Merry Christmas!
Will be sure to catch this vlog soon! Challenge all subscribers to ensure they have 'liked' all of your videos going back to the start, to let others know of your good work. I don't always remember as I watch on the Smart TV which doesn't have this option. 'Like 👍' button, our Christmas gift to you. ❤️🇨🇦 Mariya Your humble and loyal fan😂
What a blessed little bonhomme is Jonathan! The trees look great! ❤️😊🇨🇦🎶🌲🎅
Thanks Kerry :)
Just beautiful……and I love listening to Jonathon and seeing him so happy with his family. Many blessings to all this season of Light.
i wish i was there for decorating Johnathon's tree, its my favourite. love hearing the stories behind the special ornaments
Thank you Barbara :) yes he has a story for everything 😂😂 Blessing to you at this wonderful time of year :)
Yay! Tracy finally got her Christmas tree and Terry did an outstanding job decorating with a natural style, it’s gorgeous. I’m with you Terry, no Tinsel, yuck. Plus being able to plant in the garden to enjoy for decades to come. Kids make Christmas all the more special, Jonathan’s tree is super sweet. And another gorgeous chair.
Thanks Lucy. She is over the moon. :)
Your new room has such a warm and inviting atmosphere.
It’s wonderful Sylvia :)
‘Your humble and loyal servant, Ashley.’ it has a ring to it Terry. Could Ash say this to you in every vlog? Loved yesterday’s vlog. Very interesting. Just got to watch the bits I missed, there now. Glad I did 😂😂👍❤️
😂 yes I have said that to him 😂 glad you are enjoying them 🙏🥰🥰🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle I am indeed. I’m going to have to set up a Patreon account as I’m going to miss the premieres. Well, most of them. Going back to carework extremely soon. Long hours awaits. There’ll be no skiving for me in this job. Though I’ve a 2nd job that I can get away with murder. 😂 If I’m working there, I’ll hopefully catch a little bit. 😉👍❤️
Fantastic!!! Gosh, I've said it before, it's like being there with you wonderful folks!!! The trees, the chair you did Terry, everything....well done!
I love your entire family! Jonathan is going to have many magical childhood Christmas memories!
The love that Tracy shows her grandson Johnathan ♥ makes me think of the times when my grandson was his age and I looked after him now he's all grown up,and married and got a 2 year old son take care bless you all xx
Love the Christmas tree, it’s beautiful. Am really enjoying the daily vlogs, such a nice family xx🎄
Thank you Ann :)
That chair is a triumph; and it's totally perfect for that space. Your old lady will be one of the most spectacular chateaus in France in a few years. She's not on her knees any more. I love how you've decorated the tree with the ribbons, etc. Never seen a tree prettied up like that before and it's very effective. When you plant your line of Christmas trees you will need plaques on each with the year and it's story; maybe a small book with pictures of you buying each tree and who was there decorating it! I know you are busy but it's only once a year!
Thanks Mary that’s a great idea. Merry Christmas :)
Terry wow you do beautiful work on reupholstering the chairs. You are a true artist. I can see why your mother treasures them.❤️
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
You are all making priceless memories with Johnathon. The Joy is bubbling out of him.
It’s amazing seeing his enthusiasm every single day. He really is a little ray of sunshine :)
Wow u guys really have a gift. A lot of people forget that homemaking is an art form. Just a warm welcoming feeling. And Terry that chair! U rock!
That was beautiful the chair is stunning sending you all love and many blessing 💓 you are amazing watching from scotland
Thanks Maria :)
One doesn't need a grand chateau to feel important....all we need is those who love us! The rest is immaterial .
Yea Tracey,,,,your cottage Christmas tree is up.....so happy for you!!! I can't believe how much you all have done is such a short time.....well done!! Love your song at the end....so well thought out and fund. You are a great family!
Hi Everyone . Enjoying the blog . They are very special . You certainly are very talented Terry in your content and editing . Well done !! Tracy I am praying you certainly have a wonderful Christmas . You certainly deserve every moment . Its very obvious what a close family and the love Terry as for You and Tony,Jonathan and Ash . Have you more children or just Terry . You have done a grand job on Terry and Jonathan over the years . Carry on doing the work at the Château knowing how much love and enjoyment you bring to your Chateau Family xx
Thank you Norma. Terry is amazing. Tracy is too! Tracy has another son working back in the uk :) he may come over at some point ;)
How has Jonathan grown so much? Everything looks lovely and the chair is so special, now for a side table for a cup of tea and a good book! Cheers and best wishes from Florida with many thanks for your videos, BJ
That fairytale introduction was stunning. Jonathan was darling in slow motion in his yellow coat. The whole video was entrancing, the decorating, and that chair!! Holy toledo that was lovely!
Jonathan is such a sweet boy,,trying to be very grown up and doing very well speaking to us to explain what is going on at the chateau. It is contagious watching his joy.❣️
The educational message of replanting trees is soothing and full of hope for future generations.Thankyou.
Thanks Patrizia :) we will be planting lots of trees :)
It's all beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the chateau well done again great vlog
It sure is :) feels Christmassy too :)
I am loving everything about this Christmas series but my favorite part is seeing your rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas unfold. That donkey's brays are heard in the background of so many of your videos; it's fun to have it center stage. So fun. The animals are "characters" on these properties just as much as the buildings and the people who inhabit them.
Absolutely, it wouldn’t be the same here without donkey :) Stay tuned for the rest :) we’re only had way there :)
Half*
Love love love! The chair, the trees, the song ❤️. How sweet to still have your childhood ornaments Terry!
The joy of Christmas 🎄 through the eyes of the young is beautiful
He does make it special for all of us!
What an absolutely lovely vlog…..you are such a super family and I can only wish you all the very best for the forthcoming year. God bless all and have a very Happy Christmas in much warmer surroundings than last year xx
Thank you Isobel. God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas :)
I'm watching these episodes more than once, lest I miss anything! I can't say enough good about it all and, about you all! ......and yes, Jonathon, they're a handful sure, but those stinkers do bring so much to the whole experience too! I know Terry is working fast and furious behind the scenes to get out these daily vlogs, they are all beautiful Terry! Heart burstingly so ❤️🇨🇦 Mariya ......I remembered to like this one!, Think I've got all the vids liked now👍
Thank you so much Mariya :) We love reading comments from everyone and the feedback to these videos has been amazing. Terry is doing a wonderful job bless him :)
Beautiful vlog! Gorgeous decorating of the tree and all around the room! 🎄Love seeing Jonathan's excitement, so innocent and sweet his Christmas tree is beautiful...good job Jonathan! 🎄Terry another gorgeous chair...it's perfect for that space! The music is wonderful, great choices! I always look forward to hearing what the next verse is of the 12 Days of Christmas...well done! I love seeing everyone, there is so much joy and love it's very heartwarming! Thank you for sharing, take really good care, stay well! Much love Kathy x 💖
Thank you son much Kathy :) it’s been so much fun for us making them as well. Glad your enjoying them. Merry Christmas :)
Wow, I've never seen a tree like that, with ribbons and picks. Very elegant!
Thanks Lisa :)
The hair is stunning. Well done Terry. Love the trees and decks in the cottage. Such a Christmas pleasure to watch you all. 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Jonathan is a very lucky boy to have such a loving family to share and cherish his memories with him.
Loving all your trees and decorations and Terry's many talents but I'm also glad that Jonathan got his tree with the mixed match decorations as it's important that we teach children that not everything has to be beautiful and perfect!!! 🤗
Your mum and dad are such great generous people...you all are so lucky to have them on your side! My father was 5 years old when his mum and pop died and he has an uncle who became his surrogate father. I was named after him and honor the name of Albert. Thank you for being such a great uncle. Merry Christmas to you all and God Bless. 'Tis the season to be jolly!
And I thought my family was keen on Christmas. It is just amazing how happy you all are now that it's Christmas time and you get to decorate your trees. Merry Christmas from Toronto
That chair is gobsmackingly gorgeous, Terry! A perfect place to show it off.
That was a superb vlog! And Terry that chair is an amazing repair job! You’re all brilliant in so many different ways!
Beautiful tree! Love the decorations ... Love the chair!
Thank you Jean :)
Could Terry sometime do a tutorial on how he does that light dusting with the gilding? It's stunning and just perfect.
I’ll ask him and see if he will do a video for you :)
You has ever one cute kid there! Watch it you may have a lot of girls coming to see the chateau this summer and want a certain gentleman show them around !
Terry, your upholstery and furniture restoration is beautiful. The chair you brought to LaLande was gorgeous enough, but the rococo linen chair is exquisite! I have been enjoying your vlogs for several months but I cannot let my husband watch as he is an architect, starts to get nervous at any structural work you do and always comments I don't work as hard as Tracey! The cottage is coming along beautifully and I look forward to each episode. Jonathan is a delightful boy and is growing so fast. Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas from the Jersey Shore, USA!
That chair is stunning! The only thing missing in that corner are a couple of beautiful paintings😀
Thanks Litsa. Am sure they will have that little space looking awesome soon enough :)
I think I like Jonathan's tree the best because of all the sentimental ornaments. There's something about sentimental Christmas chaos that just melts my heart.
So much talent and skill in one, nice, happy family. Marvelous!!
Thank you Jim :)
This was my first time watching your vlog, and I am so glad to have stumbled upon it.
you are in for a real treat....
Thanks for joining us Sami :) hope you enjoy our family journey :) Merry Christmas :)
One does not. Have to look at a Hallmark Christmas movie on tv to see true family love and a Christmas Spirit just what your Chateau videos.

Thanks Matanja :)

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh...
Loving these daily vlogs! X🎄🤶
Beautiful all the way around! I don't blame your mom about the "no sitting in this chair" rule! Its brilliant! Thank you for including us on your journey
Thank you for joining us Kelly :)
I love the trees and the jumpers, Jonathan is so excited isn’t he. He is so icky to have you all. Christmas is special
Thanks Annette :)
Another beautiful Christmas tree in the Chateau and they're all real trees which I love, and in my 67 years I've never had a real one but you all have inspired me to get a real one. What a happy place your Chateau is. And I must say Terry is a wonderful son! I wish you all the Merriest happiest Christmas ever in your new homes. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖 Jonathan's tree turned out so cute. OMG, the chair is absolutely beautiful the work Terry does is unbelievable!
Bless you. We have never had real ones either until this year. The smell they give off is just wonderful! Hope you have an amazing Christmas and 2022! Take care :)
Terry. Have never seen a tree decorated like that. So simple, yet elegant. You are such a great decorator. Thank you. Perfect place to plant that gorgeous tree is where you placed the big tree outside the chateau. That chair is gorgeous. Can not even "see" the old one in the beautiful makeover. Worried about the tree being so close to radiator, though.
What fun! The halls are looking beautiful 🎄all decorated. Jonathan is to cute
That chair is perfect in that corner. So happy things are coming together so nicely for Christmas!
Johnathan I think your tree is the best tree of them all. Good job
He’s done a brilliant job bless him :) Thank you :)
Oh this vlog was so sweet of so many memories of yours and tree trimmings and Jonathan’s own tree. 🥰. I did my 6 yr ole grand daughter her own small tree. Her daddy bought it and let her choose her ornaments and trimmings. So cute!
The stairs chair is really great restoration someone is an expert
Terry is very talented :)
I like the second tree best! Memories……..
Terry you’re such a fabulous decorator with such a good eye for what look’s great!! Love Tracy and ohhhh that adorable little boy!! So precious!❤
Another tree Tracy 😉😉, it was lovely Jonathan having his own tree too. You are so lucky to have a son that restores furniture he has a real talent. Loved your 6 chandeliers too 🥰🥰
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Beautiful adult Cottage Tree... Jonathan's was family.. The cottages is feeling homie and it's nice to see you all smiling. Terry you are an artist ...
It’s really is now :)
the trees are looking great, nothing beats a live tree for Christmas, and that chair restoration is marvellous, great work Terry!
The ornaments are very beautiful. I really like the acorns and the Westie decorations!!! Your furniture is beautiful!! Merry Christmas from Vermont
Boy you wrapped things well. Big job but worth the safe results.
You did an amazing job. Take a break. Relax. You look tired guys. It's not the time to get sick. Enjoy and relax for few days. You deserve it.
Your nephew is such sweet good manners kid…easy going to. Your 2 white dogs reminds me of my aunties Westie she used to have…
Aww so pleased for your mum to be on warm cottage and having family around with all Christmas decorations just picture perfect
You’re so talented Terry! You saved that chair and made it beautiful again!
So special from all the trees to that special chair what a lovely family you are. I loved Johnathans tree I have one the same every baubles has memories. Your vlogs are always very entertaining loving the 12days song x
Oh my goodness Terry you have to keep up with redoing the furniture. You done marvellous job, including the one you did for Stephanie Jarvis.
Oops, just had to comment again when I saw that beautiful chair Terry reupholstered. It is gorgeous and Tracey the pillow is extra cute … perfect for the chair…
Thank you Paula. It does look amazing there. Especially as it was made to be sold before we came to France, yet it just fits perfectly in the cottage :)
The best chateau vlog on YTube..
Oh Terry your chair is beautiful! The tress turned out beautiful! Its so good to see you all so happy! Merry Christmas to all of you 🎅🤶 !
