Happy Nollaig na mBan! I want to rejoice and be happy and embrace Women’s Little Christmas, which falls today, but something is holding me back.
Perhaps it’s the memory of the look on my late mother’s face when we suggested marking Wee Christmas, as it is also known. With an almost imperceptible curl of the lip, she said a polite ‘no, thank you’, that she would not be accepting the scraps of the festive season. ....
