Today is Nollaig na mBan or Women’s Christmas or Little Christmas, celebrated in Ireland on the 6th of January every year.

This day marks the traditional end of the Christmas season in Ireland and is rooted in centuries-old custom.

Nollaig na mBan is a unique Irish tradition that honours women for all the hard work they’ve put in over the festive period. Historically, the women of the household would manage the bulk of Christmas cooking, cleaning, decorating and hosting duties, so 6 January became the one day when the roles were reversed and they were free to rest, socialise and celebrate together while men took over the chores.

Today, 3rd January, is Festival of Sleep Day 😴. Landing just after the festive rush, it’s the perfect excuse to slow down, recharge, and indulge in a bit of well-deserved rest.

Festival of Sleep Day is believed to have started as a light-hearted reminder to catch up on sleep after the busy holiday season. While no one is entirely sure who first created it, the meaning is universal: sleep is essential. The day encourages people to prioritise rest, practise good sleep habits, and enjoy a peaceful pause before jumping fully into the new year. It’s now widely embraced by wellness brands, sleep experts, and anyone who loves a cosy duvet day.
