Christmas Staycation 2020: It’s time to plan for You and Your Pets!

Christmas Staycation

As I sit here listening to Christmas FM my thoughts turn to how we are going to celebrate my favourite time of year in 2020 and whether a Christmas Staycation is going to be the answer.

Things will certainly be different but what is definite, is that we all deserve to get an extra big helping of pampering this year – Pets and humans.

Now more than ever, we need something to look forward to.

With what feels like never-ending restrictions we need to create our own light at the end of the tunnel.

December and Christmas are looking promising, so while we all support each other and keep safe, let’s see what is on offer in Ireland to reward ourselves with, when we can Staycation again.

Pet Friendly places may be what would suit you best, or perhaps your furry friend prefers the
surroundings of home.

Think about what the best reward will be, for you both, for all your hard work and efforts in 2020.

Pampering you and your SANTA PAWS pal is what December and Christmas will be all about!

Christmas Staycation 2020: Things To Do In Ireland

Escape From Your Own Four Walls

All of this “working from home” is starting to make us all a bit stir crazy!

You wake up at home, have breakfast at home, work at home, entertain your family at home, eat dinner at home, go to bed at home.

Wake up the next day… It’s GROUNDHOG DAY… Just Repeat the same sequence of events AT
HOME!!!

We need to escape to somewhere else, anywhere else, where we will be waited on and pampered and entertained in new surroundings … How exciting! I can’t wait!

Yes, Staying at home to entertain, is looking like quite the challenge this Christmas and any of you that have seen “National Lampoons Christmas Vacation” will agree that leaving your home behind and getting pampered in a hotel is a far more attractive option.

That Christmas chase scene through their home, involving a Rottweiler, a squirrel, all of the human family and the neighbours…is frozen in my memory forever … YIKES!!!

So, for a more relaxing lead up to Christmas and the New Year, have a browse through a list of our favourites below and book a PAWfect time for you and your pets this year!
