Nollaig na mBan Womens Little Christmas
This tradition in Ireland has stayed
through time
Although in modern days it’s a bit
more refined
If you have not heard of it let me
enlighten you
Because it’s a tradition that ladies in
other places may like to do
At Christmastime a women’s work is
never done
It is worry and stress no time for
any fun
Men in the past never got involved in these
preparations for Christmas festivities
Woman of old accepted this and let
the men get on with their activities
But in Ireland where large families
gave woman a very hard time
On the 6th day of January all ladies
had a jolly old time
The men folk took over all household
chores
and in the pubs all the women flooded
through forbidden doors
They saved their pennies just for this day
Took over the pubs supping ale and
generally making hay
They drank into the evening chatting and
singing not interrupted by texts or phone calls
So any dilemmas at home to the men did befall
So ladies why not become Irish for this day
Leave all your chores and party the 6th away
Let your menfolk deal with any fall out
Just tell them it’s Nollaig na mBan and that’s
what today’s all about
