Wash your mouth this instant! Watching cadeaux.... no....nooooo.....noooooo
I confess – I’ve been tracking the Christmas Cadeaux episodes - I know, boring - but my interest was piqued, so I took one for the team. There have been 8 Christmas Cadeaux episodes, totaling 6.2 viewing hours and to date they've opened a total of 71 boxes and received 427 gifts.
The total number of gifts is a very close approximation, because 1 gift box can include multiple items, although I've tried to identify each item separately as much as is possible, and maintained a detailed breakdown of each Cadeaux via excel spreadsheet. (ex: vlog dates, sent by who, from where, patron status, description of gift, designated receiptient, any interesting side note)
At this rate Lalanders will receive thousands of gifts during the year. It’s all excessive, vulgar and a huge waste of money, time and resources. The value of gifts received far outweighs the monthly charity donations. Not to mention the cost of packaging & postage. Clearly there are a lot of people who are lonely, and their loneliness has been exacerbated by Covid. As much as some people may derive pleasure from watching the Chateau vlogs and wish to thank SJ and gang, this gifting nonsense is simply grotesque and escalated out of control.
SJ should stop Cadeaux and instead ask people to donate their items, money and time to local charities. SJ could lead by example and begin doing local charity work in her own area. Sadly, I don’t think she will because she’s addicted to the gifts and adoration.
