Breda Graham rounds up some of the events taking place this week to celebrate Nollaig na mBan

We've rounded up some events taking place this weekend, so grab your girls or take some much-deserved you time this week.

Nollaig na mBan, or Women's Christmas, is celebrated on January 6 in Ireland, marking the end of the Christmas season and honoring the contributions of women.

Historically, this day allowed women to rest while men took over household duties, reversing traditional gender roles for a day.
