What’s the deal with Women’s Little Christmas?

It’s January 6th. The day the tree comes down, all the decorations go back to the attic and you are forced to accept that, yes, Christmas is well and truly over for another year.

But for the women of Ireland, January 6th also marks a very unique Irish celebration - Nollaig na mBan or Women's Little Christmas.

Wishing all ladies happy Women's Christmas aka Little Christmas Tradition decorations come down today.I'd better get busy! #littlechristmas
