    Nollaig na mban is nothing new.

    It’s not massively relevant anymore though with work, cooking and housework much more evenly split these days.

    It is also the 100th anniversary of Irish women getting the vote.

    It was never really a nationwide thing, though there seems to be marketing attempts to revive it and implant it into the public consciousness country-wide. Doubt they'll succeed, most people are done with Christmas by now.

    It was always just little Christmas to us, and the only think it meant was the decorations and tree came down.

    I can't say in the 70 odd years I've seen Little Christmas celebrated that I have ever seen any marketing around it. It was just the day when the lady of the house could relax after the hassle and activity of Christmas, while the men took down the decorations, tidied the house and provided the meals.

    It is a Cork thing.

    But it is just so patronising.

    Work away girls over Christmas and NY, feed us, sort us out, and then you can have a night out tonight.

    FFS.

    This Christmas, I've actually seen hotels in a few different parts of the country (I did a bit of travelling between family homes of me and my hubs) advertising Women's Christmas events. It's the first year I've noticed it.

    Never heard it called that before until this year, and even then only here and on reddit. It was always just Little Christmas for us, mass, and taking down the tree

    I'm from Kerry it is very normal here ever since I was a young lad me and my father would always fuss over the girls on this day. Kerry and Cork would be the more traditional counties for Womens Christmas.

    Not only Kerry and Cork. Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Cavan - that I'm aware of.
