Nollaig na mBan Shona Daoibh
(Happy Womens Christmas)
In Ireland it’s a day
where women don’t lift a finger
and/or gather to party!
We remember those
gone before us
It’s a day of love, gratitude and fun.
Have a great day sisters!#NollaignamBan

Today is Nollaig na mBan, or Women’s Christmas/Little Christmas, in Ireland 🇨🇮
It marks the last day of Christmas & traditionally it's a day where women would gather and celebrate together.
It’s also considered bad luck to take down your Christmas tree before Nollaig na mBan!🎄 pic.twitter.com/xiu8et4cKJ

Take that Frank 🤣
6 January is celebrated as Epiphany in western Christianity, commemorating the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child, Jesus. The eve of Epiphany is the Twelfth Night (5 January). It’s now become traditional to take down Christmas decorations on the 12th night, not Epiphany. pic.twitter.com/WjSYpBMVa8

So, it's a day just like any other day
And yesterday was the last day of Christmas so get the tree & decorations down sharpish if you haven't already done it
2,000 Miles makes me think of Driving Home for Christmas, Forrest 😊
Well, Lois, if there's 2000 miles to be covered in response to Mr Bon Jovi's request, Mr. Rea would need to start driving now
When Chris does finally arrive, Jon will be asking him to . . . . . . .
Unless someone saw something they shouldn't, Forrest 😅
That must be Santa taking requests a little too literally
Santa does be getting some strange requests 😅
"We'd rather have chew toys" 😉
Only four more sleeps until Santa arrives . . . . . . . . . . (please don't shoot him before he delivers the presents) 😅
Time to up the pace 😅
