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 💚

Your Aunt and Uncle are just delightful, thanks for sharing.

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.

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!🎄🎁

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

Stephanie! Your hair is most decidedly not mouse!! Rather it’s a very elegant blonde. Truly.

I am overwhelmed by the generosity of my fellow subscribers. A merry Christmas indeed xxx

Sutana your thoughtfulness filled the Chateau with Love and Dates!

All lovely gifts but oh my, that coat is spectacular!

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.

My grandparents owned a restaurant in the 1930s. Every Christmas holiday season, Tom & Jerry’s we’re served. My aunt has the original bowl & mug set from the restaurant. I’ve purchased my own set. We both carry on the tradition by serving Tom & Jerry’s every year ❤️ I do NOT care for the drink but that is not the point. I love making them. Happy Holliday all!

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.

Your aunt and uncle are really lovely 🥰

I believe the Tom & Jerry mugs and bowl are vintage. It was popular when I was a little girl in the 70's because I remember the mugs. Now it has come back into fashion with other drinks from the past. The coat from Saudia Arabia is stunning. It's a work of art. You look lovely in it.

To your aunt and uncle, Mike and I loved spending time with them. We would love to see them again. They are truly special people.

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

What an amazing selection of gifts! People are truly so thoughtful and generous. The coat looks fabulous on you Stephanie! Happy Advent and best wishes to all at Lalande and all the lovely gifters around the world 🥰😘🤗

I’m American and have never heard of Tom and Jerry in my 61 years! I’ll have to look it up!

My grandfather, Pa Kehoe’s recipe TOM & JERRY’S 1 dozen eggs separated. Whip the yolks until stiff (as stiff as they get) Whip the whites until they are stiff and dry and then blend in 1 pound of powdered sugar. Blend the two together stirring as little as necessary. (Only stir as much as you have to, to incorporate the two. Pa said the less stirred the better.) Put a ladle full of batter into a mug, add 1 shot of rye (bourbon) and 1 shot of brandy. ( I personally put half that much or your guests will be on the floor by the second mug. Pa cut his back for guests too. He made up a mixture of the two booze and put in one generous shot and I usually do the same. ) Fill the mug with hot water and a dash of nutmeg to taste. (I leave the nutmeg off mine.) Serve with a spoon so they can stir the batter and booze together. I’ve never calculated how many drinks I get from the batter but I have about 15-20 people to my annual party and I go through a batch and a half. (Yes, you can make it with 6 eggs and a half pound of sugar.)

What a 🌟 treasure trove 🌟 of delicious sweets 🍬 & delightful 🎁 gifts. 😁Stephanie looked like a 👑 princess in the embroidered swing coat💝 while her Uncle Stephen looked quite handsome in the embroidered jacket💘. Both coats were made with beautiful colors, fine fabrics, & impressive craftmanship. Always thrilling to spend a bit of the afternoon🍵 cosied up with such pleasant company. And, also touching to enjoy the warmth, hospitality, & generosity of your devoted fans from around the world🌎. How exciting to gain a new fan from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦. 🤩Sultana has been quite astounding with her hospitality this season too. Her kindness brings us all a lot of holiday cheer. 🎄Merry Advent✨️! 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

Best pumpkin to use. I've used it for 50 yrs. Pumpkin rolls with cream cheese filling is wonderful.

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

That coat is gorgeous. Absolutely stunning.

I'm from the Southern US and I never heard of it being called Tom and Jerry. We just called it the spiked egg nog. Lol

Karen and Mike your American Traditions gifts are wonderful!

Love the Tom and Jerry set!! I’ve always found that treats feel extra special when they have their own unique serving set!

I've got a sudden craving for dates. Wow! What lovely gifts.

So wonderful seeing you all there. Those gifts you opened were well , exquisite!

I used to dress the Saudi Kings eldest daughter who was also the first women senator and in the palace they had baskets of these garnished dates all over the place ! I couldn't have sticky fingers when fitting the gowns !

Wishing your dear aunt a very Happy Birthday 🥳 I love your aunt & uncle, they are so lovely. Hope you all enjoy the festive season 🎉🥳❤️

I remember when I was little and my grandmother helped with church suppers there would be salad made from jello, I haven't seen any in years...Merry Christmas I love Christmas sweets shortbread, mincemeat tarts, christmas pudding and christmas cake, nothing low calorie there. Always fond memories associated with Christmas food (and the smells of it all)

Your Aubt & Uncle are so wonderful!

OH gosh all the treats looked so very yummy! It is most certainly going to be a holiday full of joy and full tummies for you and all your guests. Once again the gifts were more than thoughtful and truly amazing!

This channel is food for the soul....thank you Stephanie, Philip & family/friends!

This was another delightful reveal! I haven't had Tom and Jerry's in over 50 years,,,my parents friends made it, it tasted delish, took tons of eggs, was frothy and cinnamon tasting,,they made without alcohol for us kids but we always snuck into the good stuff! Many happy memories for this old granny tonight! Now go enjoy your goodies! 🎄🥰 Merry Advent!

My the coat looks amazing on Stephanie.

I just love your Aunt and Uncle....!

One of my favorite episodes ever! Incredible gifts for an incredible group of people.

My jaw has dropped more than once looking at the cards and presents. They are superb. Thank you so very much everyone. Merry Christmas and much love. ☺️🎄💕

I truly enjoyed today’s gathering and so happy you all made it home safely. Everyone was in such a positive mood and with the families all coming together for the Christmas Holidays it made my heart happy. Christmas is the best time of the year and your lovely friends, guest and patrons are giving back the love you gave to them. Thanks for sharing the love with us. Merry Christmas all and much love, blessings and happiness to each of you ❤️.

Philip got so excited “What is it”.

Today & yesterday is the first time I really noticed how much Mummy & Aunty looked & acted somewhat like!! Yet they personalities are so different! Love them both!! Wonderful cadeaux today!!!

Gifts were amazing - especially, ones from Saudi Arabia. Never knew dates had such variety. You can afford to be a most generous hostess this year - for houseguests and visitors alike. I think the Jello and cottage cheese recipe can be archived as historical anomalies, consigned to history and never to be repeated. Doubt whether the dog would eat it - apparently, no one else did.

All the gifts are so special and so generous. But the best part is always the friends and family to share the fun with. Stephanie, your aunt & uncle are just wonderful! And for those who don't have much in money or things...no one need to feel left out. Think about how being with your loved ones and dear friends and you can create your own memories of togetherness from even the simplest things or just each other's company. These are the best and sweetest memories that last forever. p.s. if you know of anyone who may be alone during the holidays and can invite them to be with you and your friends or family, be sure to do that. The holidays can be some of the most difficult times for some, especially for those who are alone. ❤

I always love the first time i see Tom and Jerry batter in the local stores. It is the first sign of Holiday season.

T & J's were popular with my Daddy and Uncles when I was growing up, the smells of clove and nutmeg still take me back to those days! This was the most joyous cadeaux, ty!

The Tom and Jerry is definitely a regional tradition. I've lived in Mo. Allmy life and never heard of it.

In Kentucky USA my mom also made the lime jello with a pear and cottage cheese in the copper mold. I actually loved it! Merry Christmas from Kentucky!

Merry Christmas to ALL! 🎄

The Saudi Arabian gifts are amazing. Need to look up the date place. A wonderful Christmas to all La Lande's. May it be a joyous time for you all 🎄🎉🎁🍾🍷🍸🥂💜

What beautiful gifts of those dates. I have a 11 yr old grandson who would be in heaven with those dates. What a generous gift. I chuckled that Auntie said she was acting like your mum with the ribbons. I save them too. ONG that coat is gorgeous. The flow of the fabric is amazing. Love the jacket too. The Christmas cards are amazing. The kind you hold on to . Phillip is right, candy corn. The jello mold is lovely. The animal gift wrap. Happy Advent. Love the love and laughter and joy. ❤❤❤❤❤

People are so generous, amazing.

Heartwarming indeed ☺️ Merry Advent (calendar 😆) to you all too 🎄❤️

When I saw the beautiful boxes I was thinking that you could store the ornaments in them, then when you've hung them on the tree you can use them for gifts, that way they can be used year round 🙂 Merry Christmas from Las Vegas, Nevada USA

Wow!! Such Wonderful Gifts 🎁 😍 especially all the Date related ones from Sultana , and what a Wonderful Coat ❤️ it looks almost like Russian Traditional wear , Beautiful 😍 Merry Advent (calender) to you all 🥰🎄

I grew up smelling & eventually drinking Tom & Jerry’s in Buffalo, New York. It’s actually British in origin. The drink's name is a reference to Egan's book, Life in London, or The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn Esq. and his Elegant Friend Corinthian Tom (1821), and the subsequent stage play Tom and Jerry, or Life in London (also 1821). To publicize the book and the play, Egan introduced a variation of eggnog by adding 1⁄2 US fluid ounce (15 ml) of brandy, calling it a "Tom and Jerry". The additional fortification helped popularize the drink A favorite of our 29th President Warren G Harding from Ohio. T & J’s are a Christmas staple with several different bars putting their own twists on the liquor (gin) & condiments (cloves, Anisette) Fun to share some of our traditions with all the La Landers!

I am intrigued about car that came with the gives....can't wait to learn more about that.

Sultans! Wow! Good job! Such beautiful coats! And all the goodies!!

I get as excited as you when Michael sends your gifts, so amazing

Ooo stephanie you look beautifull to day you Are glowing

The beautiful gifts from Saudi’s Arabia are fabulous! I love dates, too! The jacket and coat are stunning!! Enjoy 🎉

Thankyou so much for the love and energy you put in your videos, you make us feel we are part of the family. Please take care and every Lalander have a Merry Christmas. 💝🍸🌲

As soon as I saw the Bateel name on the bag, I got very excited. It is the top brand of dates and sweet treats in the Middle East Region with beautiful shops and displays. I love how many countries in the region embraces Christmas and celebrates the diversity. Displays in malls and Holiday packaging. Saudi has been on my to do travel list for many years and is now possible with a very easy entry visa process. I can't wait to visit Al Ula (you'll be amazed when you look it up). So shukran Sultana for your generosity and a glimpse into the hospitality of the region.

Quite often I just don't know what comment to make cos everything is so amazing... But. That. COAT!!!!!😍🤩😍🤩🤪 Love, Jacqueline from New Zealand 🥰

What amazingly wonderful gifts. Congratulations to all senders and recipients of all this joy which is so happily shared across the world thru these vlogs.

When I lived in the UAE, I used to get Bateel dates all the time - they are excellent!

Amaury looks exactly like his sweet Mother. No wonder he is so handsome!!

Happy birthday 🎂Chantelle it seems like you had a wonderful birthday 🥂🍾celebration 🎉in Paris.😊 Stephanie I truly enjoy seeing your aunt and uncle they are so likeable and genuine & kind. Merry advent calendar to all at LaLande🦚

My favorite Christmas drink is warmed egg nog with added nutmeg then add a liquor called White Christmas. It is a mix of brandy and rum. Wonderful drink to warm you up .

Trader Vic’s used to have an excellent Tom & Jerry recipe, too. It’s a really nice hot drink on a snowy and cold night. Know you’ll love it. Happy Holidays!

Amuary is a credit to both of you. So glad you made it home safe. Another enjoyable video. It's like Christmas every day with your content. The generosity of your extended family is amazing. That coat is sensational. I bet Philip will wear it to. Keep warm sending abundance of peace and love from England.

Love your aunt and uncle!! And as always, such generous gifts, especially all the way from Saudi Arabia!! As an American, I remember my parents drinking Tom and Jerry’s, but I don’t remember ever trying them. Love from Mary in Southern California 💗💝

What an awesome aunt and uncle. They are so cute. I need to also visit Saudi to find a coat like that. It is gorgeous!!! . Enjoy your evening. 🥰🥰🥰

This is the first Cadeaux that I found super interesting. Love the Saudi treats and learning more about these special gifts.

Lovely gifts Your Aunt And Uncle what a lovely couple

It is candy corn. You lucky lucky people. Such fabulous foods and gifts. You are much loved. God bless and have a great holiday

Amazing gifts! Lovely cadeau with Taie and Tonton! Hugs from moi! PS: I had to put you on pause….I just had to go get myself a date from the kitchen!! It all looked so yummy!

I enjoy all your videos. Your house hold has many great kind helpful high spirited guest. Adore your aunt & uncle luvly couple.

Beautiful gifts! It will be a delicious Christmas.🎄🙏❤️

Merry Christmas to all.. (such great ideas in this video in having Dates!! Sounds great!) Certainly, made me hungry! lol I love tasting new things and these really do look fantastic. Love Dates anyway. So very nice.** Your tastebuds will wake right up!!**

My Mom made the same lime jello dish every year as well ... and no one ate it! I had to laugh out loud when I saw that! Once she changed to peach jello everyone loved it. If you try the peach version, peach yogurt makes a nice addition. Merry Christmas to you all & thank you for sharing!

Another wonderful, happy, vlog!!!! Thank you so much!

I’m just north of USA in Canada, I’ve never heard of Tom & Jerry Christmas cocktail before now. What lovely gifts, you lucky ducks. 🎉

I could watch these forever, thank you so much for sharing!!!

You’re new hair color is beautiful. The soft blonde is not a mouse. It softens against your face so much more better than the bright blonde.

Maybe some decorations could go on the Chateau Jared created....

Bateel stuff is lovely and that coat is gorgeous.

Wow!!! A Rapunzel Advent Bus, Luxury dates gaLORE, Bedouin textiles and Quirky American recipes for fun😂rr❤

Suggestion: the beautiful advent box calendar with woodland creatures could be used by Philip for his cuff links. Remove the box inserts and simply use the daily spaces for each cuff link pair. It is too cute to throw out.

You lucky people! What delights to sample! I love your Family!

That coat is stunning

Love the coat on Stephanie x

Candy corn and cashews go great together!!
