Current status: listening to Sinead o Connor, taking down the Christmas decorations, later to have hot whiskeys watching Little Women. It makes a kind of sense.

Little Christmas or Nollaig na mBan: How the meaning of January 6 has changed over time

Once upon a time it was a day off for housewives but now it is more of a celebration of women

Nollaig na mBan shona daoibh! Happy , which is celebrated today in Ireland. As most domestic commitments over Christmas are undertaken by women – cooking, shopping, cleaning - is traditionally the day women are told to put their feet up, do no housework and be tended to by the men of the house, in recognition of invisible labour and of the gendered division of housework. While it might sound a little parochial, it has morphed into a day of celebration & events.

Happy Nollaig na mBan! ✨

In Ireland, today was traditionally the day that women enjoyed a rare day off. This year it marks 50 years since the establishment of the National Women’s Council, which is still campaigning for full equality.

In Ireland on Jan. 6 we celebrate Nollaig na mBan (), a day to celebrate 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.

INT. CHURCH; BALKANS -

Now I know.

Of interest, I happen to notice only one man at the service...and he was part of it.
There was me at the back who then found out... :blobnom:

January 6th, termed also Women's Christmas (Irish:
)

To those who celebrate today: I hope you have a great Nollaig na mBan; a merry Little Christmas; and if you do have a Joycean epiphany this evening, I hope it’s positive and useful to you in the new year ahead.
For everyone else: have a great first TGIF of 2023

Happy Women's Christmas! For those not in the know, it is a formerly sexist break for women, that is getting a bit of a modern reboot in Ireland. Also you need to get some herring rte.ie/brainstorm/2023/0106/11
