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

It’s January 6. 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.

#NollaignamBan shona daoibh go léir. Here's to the resilience, passion, strength, fire and hard-working nature of the women of Ireland. pic.twitter.com/uMKzhZbaal
