>>> In celebration of the feast of the Epiphany in Ireland, January 6th is marked by Nollaig na mBan or Women's Little Christmas.
>>> 
>>> On this day it is the tradition in Ireland for the women to take the day off from their normal activities and get together and enjoy their own Christmas, while the men folk stay at home this one day to handle all the chores. It is also common for children to buy their mothers and grandmothers presents on this day, though this custom is gradually being overtaken by Mothers Day.
>>> 
>>> Although Nollaig na mBan is slowly dying out in many parts of Ireland, in Co. Cork on the South West coast, the tradition is still very strong. Many bars and restaurants in Cork City report a near 100% female clientele on this day, as the Corkonian women meet up with girl friends, sisters, aunts and mothers to celebrate their own little Christmas with Nollaig na mBan.
>>> 
>>> So to all the mothers, grandmothers, wives, sisters, and daughters, who provide constant and unconditional support to their families … Sláinte!
