Aloha Patrick and Stuart, am on my 2nd. viewing of this video as I had to pause and stop and remember to breathe whilst the floral arrangement was being created on the 1st. viewing. The ornaments and guilded thingys and touch of light is beyond perfection.The classical music during that portion of the video is beyond, beyond perfection ♥️💚.

Dear Patrick and Stuart, thank you for sharing your visit to the magical village. If you weren’t already in the Christmas spirit that village was all spirit. Patrick, you created a beautiful centerpiece. Thank you for another wonderful video. ❤️

The festival looked lovely. Those candles and the greenery are beautiful. I have a terrible cold. I am on antibiotics. It is not covid but could be RSV. The last thing I want is Christmas in the hospital. My next door neighbor was found collapsed in his yard yesterday by his 16 year old daughter. She called 911 and started CPR. The paramedics came and took over, but he didn't make it. He was a small man, but that never hindered him. He was always helping out neighbors. He didn't believe in doctors. His wife is a care aide in Long-term care. The police brought her home. I feel so bad for them. Sorry for my rant. You both helped perk me up with your video. Happy 3rd Sunday of Advent. ❤

Good morning Patrick & Stuart, I so love the European towns/villages during the Festive Season. Their individual little huts with the most delicious and charming things available for the Christmas holidays. Not everybody has the time or maybe the talent to make their own, so there is always an alternative way and through that we can support somebody that has a financial need and this is perfect to support them. The chain car with the deer in front and the Santa figure at the back, with them flying through the air looks very real, how delightful it was to see. I just loved the greenery in the vase. Then you added the gold coloured grasses and beautiful bables, who would dare to criticize that? It would look so beautiful at night or even in the dusk light changing the ordinary to the extra-ordinary. So by the way, there is no such thing as bad taste, even what is kitch to us, is another person's delight. There is no room to criticise another person's taste!! For those people that always has negative expressions, I wish they would just be quiet or leave. I am cutting back on some vlogs as I just do not have the time to watch and read them all anymore. I find some boring, some not sufficient information, so it is in my power to decide what choice to make. Love Amber, so beautiful and love their winter coats. Not much work to be done outside, except gather a few things for ornamental use, try to watch Tom & Melissa on Come Sit at my Table, Tom just made a wonderful cider spicy drink, it looks so good, but I cannot make it as we don't have those ingredients here in S.Africa :( yet for the Northern Hemisphere you have so many choices. I am sure you will love the spicy apple cider. Happy days, all going well I will see you for the Wednesday episode. I loved the video as well as the music. Pat the hairy dogs and give them a hug and tell them I send them much love. Many blessings Elize

Lovely video! Thank you for sharing. Patrick, try some Vicks on your chest, back, and the bottom of your feet. I can almost guarantee that you will feel better every morning afterwards.

So many festive fun things at the Christmas market! I love the candles in the chateau’s windows! Your foraged arrangement turned out looking nice! I like things not so formal and the flocked tree with the red ornaments is cute!

How wonderful to have all the evergreens growing at your chateau .i saw mistletoe in a local shop recently for the first time in years !!!

It is wonderful to walk around and have everything for the arrangements in the back garden. Mistletoe is growing here in abundance but I have not seen it in the stores in the Midwest. 🎄👍🏻🎄
