It is also known as Nollaig na mBean ('''Women's Christmas'''), so called because of the tradition (still very strong in Cork , though only just surviving in the rest of the country) of Irish men taking on all the household duties on that day and giving their spouses a day off. Most Corkonian women will either hold parties or go out to celebrate the day with their friends, sisters, mothers, aunts etc. Bars and restaurants across Cork have a near 100% female clientele on this night. Children often buy presents for their mothers and grandmothers and it closely resembles Mother's Day in this respect. |
