  1. To all who celebrate, hope you’ve a positive epiphany today, or Little Christmas, and Nollaig na mBan. I’m back in the office and the kids are back in school, so deep breaths … #NollaigNamBan #Epiphany #LittleChristmas #Mastodaoine

  2. Took my Little Women into town today for Little Christmas and to give my wife some me-time this Nollaig na mBan. Dropped into the National Museum before the playground. Perfect weather and a nice way to end the 12 Days.

  3. In Ireland on Jan. 6 we celebrate Nollaig na mBan (#WomensChristmas), a day to honour women for their incredible commitment and service to others. Today we thank all women in our global @miseancara community (members, partners, project participants) for all you do to lift up the lives of those around you. #Nollaignamban #LittleChristmas #MiseanCara

  4. As well as #NollaignamBan the 6th January is notable in Ireland as the anniversary of the Night of the #BigWind, Oíche na Gaoithe Móire, in 1839, which caused mass destruction of life and property. When pensions were introduced, memories of the night were used to help determine who qualified.

    It is also the date on which the events of #JamesJoyce ’s short story "The Dead" from "Dubliners" (1914) takes place.

    The roots and traditions of Nollaig na mBan.

    There was me at the back who then found out... :blobnom:

  8. Little Christmas, January 6th, is also called Women's Christmas (Irish: Nollaig na mBan), and sometimes Women's Little Christmas. The tradition, still very strong in Cork and Kerry is so called because of the Irish men taking on all the household duties for the day. #NollaigNamBan #LittleChristmas #Epiphany #WomensChristmas

  9. We work with some extraordinary women in the EPA who fight tirelessly to protect Ireland's environment.

    We'd like to mark Nollaig na mBan with this quote from our Director General, Laura Burke.
