Nollaig na mBan

Today, 6th of January is the feast of the epiphany but here in Ireland it is also Women's Christmas - Nollaig na mBan.

To mark the occasion I have written a guest post for the Anti Room Blog which you can read here.

Enjoy!

  1. oh my dear, I did this once.
    We used to have a 12th Night Party on or near this date but I'm so tired from not-women's christmas that I can't imagine! I'll pop over and see you.

  2. Really interesting post! I must admit, I'd never even heard of Nollaig na mBan so it was an education for me.

  3. I was very confused last year when a friend texted me on 6th Jan to wish me a Happy Little Women's Christmas. It seems like a very odd occasion to me. I'm taking great delight in getting the tree out and everything packed away for another year!
