Little Christmas - Nollaig na mBan

Old Irish Traditions

Nollaig na mBan, also known as ‘Little Christmas’ or ‘Women’s Christmas’…

Back in the day, housework in many homes in Ireland would have been exclusively done by the women of the household. Women’s Little Christmas was traditionally a day when the men were tasked with all of the chores and the women got together and enjoyed a well earned day out.
