It’s Nollaig na mBan or Little Christmas, a day that honours women’s work, rest, friendship and gathering. May we gather today with the women in our lives, remember the women who have gone before us, and celebrate and express gratitude. Nollaig na mBan Shona daoibh 💚

One of the most anticipated meals of the year happens tomorrow. It's a source of joy that nourishes both the body and soul. May we remember the empty seats at the table and and toast all our loved ones near and far. Nollaig shona duit féin agus do do chlann 💚 🎄
