3 wild Cork Nollaig na mBan parties to get in the WhatsApp group right now
Ladies, mark your calendars.
Women’s Little Christmas; Nollaig na mBan; call it what you like, but January 4th and 5th bring the perfect excuse for a right old knees-up with the girls.
Traditionally a day when the poor, exhausted mammies of Ireland were permitted to cast off their aprons and eat a currant bun with the other women of the parish while the men looked after the children, Women’s Little Christmas is still cheerfully observed in many households, although it’s now a much less stereotypical affair.
According to UCC historian Alan Titley, the custom began when women would raise turkeys to sell to neighbours before Christmas. The resulting cash would have been spent on the family, but any leftover money was a treat for the woman of the house, come January.
Gather the gals for a raucous day of fun to finish out the Christmas break.
