- photonut4ExplorerWe have a small tabletop fiber optic tree, and we put lighted garland around our entertainment slide where the fireplace is. It looks very nice with the garland lit and the fireplace on.
- BoonedocksExplorerThe $1 Santa hats look good over the tops of the mirrors.
Last year we ran a set of LED lights around the cargo carrier on top of our toad and powered them with an inverter we carry in the car. - sowegoExplorerEven when we fulltimed we kept things simple: we have a string of red lights with silk poinsettias we laid out across the dash on the inside and left in place while driving. When parked longer term we set up a very small artificial tree on the steering wheel table with lights. Those 2 items were enough to add holiday cheer and a warm glow visible from inside and out. We shut off the lights at bedtime. The more decorations you put out, the more you have to store off-season so "less is best"!
- Bill_SatelliteExplorer IIWe do a small tree, a beautiful Christmas snow scene (large plexiglass box with a village, Santa circling one of the houses and "snow" blowing continually) and stockings hung on one of the windows. We start burning pine scented candles and have some kind of scented pine cone or similar centerpieces to decorate the table. We have giant Santa hats that cover the mirror and hang there while parked. If we stay anywhere very long, there is also a giant box for the nose of the bus! Janet put this all up the day after Thanksgiving and it won't come down until after the new year. We will likely have been in 5-8 different locations by then.
Merry Christmas! - rmalik1ExplorerWreath on the door and small fiber optic tree with some lighted decorations underneath.
- Wolf3gangExplorerThis is our first Christmas as FTer's. Last year while downsizing, we bought a "Charlie Brown" tree. Will use this and other decorations inside and out.
- RoadXYZExplorer IIWe put a decorative chain across the kitchen window curtain rod and hang ornaments - also put a wreath out each year - we buy them at Goodwill store and after Christmas toss it, except for the beading, etc. and put up a garden flag .. would like to put up outside Christmas lights, but will be moving again right after Christmas .. miss driving around town and seeing Christmas Lane decorated houses, etc. at our home base, but not enuff to stay over winter.

Yes, definitely. I have some small decorations for every holiday, Easter, Valentines Day, Halloween but mostly Christmas. I always loved the season so when we went fulltime I had to bring something. We have a small tree like one of the other posters pictures and we also hang stockings, put out holiday tea towels, bathroom towels, santa soap dispensers and rugs. It just wouldn't be the same without some decorations. I have lights for outside too.
I do the same. I also put a garland, threaded with white lights along the top of our slideout (inside) and down one side by the drivers chair in our motorhome. I also put out lights and a flag on the front of the moho. Just about everywhere is something Christmas. I rely on a lot of small things because they pack a lot of punch in the smaller square footage. - DianneOKExplorerOne year I made DH put lights all around the roof of the fiver, and we put a live tree outside, with lights and decor :) The next year we had a new fiver and it was not easy to hang the lights, so I made do with a small prelit tree inside and a few decorations.
