Ok, sorry for mentioning the dreaded 'C' word in October, but I just wondered if any of you have ever spent Christmas in your Motorhome?  Visiting relatives, getting away from all the hype of Christmas, doing it to be different etc.....

What has it been like, did you manage to cook Christmas dinner, did you enjoy it, any funny stories, were you staying on a relatives drive, at a camp site, wild camping etc?

Would love to hear anyone's stories.

Sara

We have spent the last 3 festive seasons in the van away from all the ties of home in scenic Derbyshire. There are several all year sites one with an excellent pub with meals on site.

Hi Sara,

We went away to Blair Drummond CC site near Stirling, just after Xmas last year for the New Year period. It was fantastic!!! Some of the outfits had really gone to town (they must do it every year), with outside light displays & decorations. Then there was the concert & fireworks display at Stirling castle to let in the New Year.

We have booked this year for Edinburgh CC site, so we are looking forward to that one.

Off to the Lakes again this weekend though Wehhhhhhhheeeeeeeyyyyyyy

Mark

Personally, I LOVE Christmas.  I just wondered if anyone had spent Christmas day in their Motorhome.  Did you have a tree or any decorations up?  I mentioned to Hubby the other day that I was thinking of putting a christmas tree in our Motor Home, even though it would be on the drive.  He thought I was nuts!
