Specials to Ireland - Christmas Travel Packages   IRISH CHRISTMAS TRAVEL SPECIALS 2008 featuring Irish car tours and other package deals to Ireland in December and January. . Christmas the way it should be.Make 2008 your unique Christmas Celebration in Ireland. Christmas in Ireland is an experience to be cherished. Christmas traditions have been handed down over generations. As you stroll along the streets you feel the excitement of Christmas while shopping for traditional Christmas treats. Ireland is one of the few places on earth where the meaning of Christmas is still remembered & the birth of the Christ child is celebrated. Whether you subscribe to the theory that to have a candle in your window on Christmas Eve meant that you were welcoming the Holy Family that found no such welcome in Bethlehem or that the candle in the window signified the home where the Catholic mass was celebrated, the custom still exists in Ireland today. Either way, the lights in the windows make a lovely addition to the holiday season.  Christmas is in the air everywhere. Church services
play a real part in the celebration of Christmas here. Another endearing
quality of Ireland is the time that the people take out of their usual
calendars to devote to Christmas. There is limited work activity for most
people between Christmas and New Year, and most businesses remain closed for
this period. The spirit of Christmas is so strong, however, that many hotels close during the holiday period to allow their staff to spend time with family. On Christmas day in Ireland, most restuarants will be closed. Christmas day is traditionally a family day, with virtually all public places and shops closed. We include only those properties that will be open, and those that have special Christmas programs that include all meals, several receptions for the adults and entertainment for children. Visitors can look forward to a fun packed programme of activities and events giving the many visitors to beautiful Ireland a chance to experience Christmas as it should be and enjoy the build up to the season in a relaxed, happy and safe environment.

In Dublin, Christmas day is only the beginning of celebrating with friends that doesn’t end until the Feast of Epiphany on the 6th of January. Christmas Shopping: Gifts so perfect that they could only come from Ireland. Dublin is a wonderful city to visit at Christmas. The Christmas lights are turned on in November and from that point on, the big Christmas shopping season will have commenced in earnest. Unique gifts are only part of the journey as you enhance your experience with tours of Europe's most picturesque cities. From shopping on Grafton Street and Henry Street, to listening to the carol singers and buskers on Grafton Street, and to the wonderful Christmas windows in Roches Stores and Clerys, Dublin City Center has loads to offer. In general, the city has a buzz up to Christmas Eve, and much of the social activity centres around the pubs (as usual!) There are some outdoor activities on Christmas day, eg. outdoor walks, Christmas day swims for the hardy souls. Some hotels stay open over Christmas, with a "package" stay and organized activities. St. Stephen's Day (Boxing day) has pubs open again, but only a limited number of shops open. There will be plenty of sporting activities, however, much of it being of a "fun" nature. Restaurants will be open, except for Christmas Day. Airports, buses and trains do not operate on Christmas day, and will have a limited service on 26th. Shops will generally open about 27th December with sales - hectic for shopaholics. |
