Yup, now that's what RV'ing is all about!
Your own room with a spectacular view. :C

We have never done Christmas in the RV, but we have done many, many Thanksgivings in the RV.

We do a small, whole turkey in a 7 qt. crockpot (yummy, but does fall apart), twice baked potatoes done in the oven or occasionally a crock pot (I forgot a potato masher and had to use a fork to mash them and that took a while), a green bean casserole in another crockpot, cranberry relish, rolls (baked or warmed on the grill), grilled asparagus and a dessert that I purchased in a supermarket.

These were some of the best meals we have had in our RV or at home.

One year, we were at the beach for Thanksgiving with all of our immediate family (4 of us), plus my nephew, who was about 14 at the time. He discovered that he loved going crabbing and on Thanksgiving morning, he went out early and came back with 18 blue crabs. We had crabs for dinner and they were wonderful. We had crab cakes the next day after I taught him how to pick them. It was a very memorable week for us all.

Not Christmas just yet, but we've often done a full english style roast joint in the oven with stuffing, yorkshire puddings, roasted potatoes, veggies and all the trimmings followed by homemade apple crumble and cream or custard. On extended trips we tend to eat very similar as we do in our sticks and bricks with home cooking and baking.

This was dinner on our madden voyage of our new toyhauler. It was a week before Thanks Giving on my wife's birthday.
1 big chicken with all the trimmings, including cranberries. Even a carrot cake for desert. All cooked in the rig.

Only difference was turkey breast vs whole turkey. BUT never was a big fan of whole turkey.
Stuffing done casserole style, mashed taters, brown gravy from drippings and butter, cranberry sauce, green onions, olives, carrot/celery sticks, deviled eggs, apple pie/scoop ice cream,

Course there was just the 2 of us and we had a kitchen routine down pat......circle to the right :B

Double ditto. If you add bacon wrappings to the turkey breast and bake it in a dutch oven on the campfire you have ours to a T. More bacon crumbled into the mashed sweet potatoes.

Chicken ranch sandwiches and Presidente Margaritas at Chilis.... And no drama from family ;)

The best Christmas was the first one in my RV as a full timer in the South.....alone. :C
