Today the Residents in Bishopscourt Nursing Home, Cork marked Women’s Little Christmas (Nollaig na mBan) in the best way — with good company, great conversation, and a celebratory glass of 7Up 🥂
Women’s Little Christmas is traditionally celebrated on January 6th, marking the end of the Christmas season. It was a day when women, who had worked tirelessly over the festive period, finally had a chance to rest, go out, or enjoy time together.
The Residents shared what the day meant to them, sparking wonderful conversations and memories from years gone by. One Resident fondly recalled how she would always head into town with her mother for a bit of shopping — and on the way home, they’d stop at Jackie Lennox’s, a much-loved Cork Chipper, for a treat. Stories like these truly brought the past to life.
Moments like today remind us how important it is to celebrate tradition, memory, and connection 💙
