It may be our special day, but we still have to do the school run, sort the uniforms and hold down a job. Or Women’s Christmas, Nollaig na mBan, by its other name. Not business as usual with a trendy title attached to it. [ Women don’t want a rest on Nollaig na mBan. So for both those reasons, and to be honest largely also because I’m wrecked after Christmas, instead of mounting some sort of Nollaig na mBan 24-hour, chocolate-fuelled uprising, I’m going to make some Nollaig na mBan resolutions to make the rest of my year a little less chaotic.
