Little Christmas, or Nollaig Bheag in the Irish language, is one of the traditional names in Ireland for January 6, more commonly known in the rest of the world as the Epiphany. It is so called because it was, until the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, the day on which Christmas Day was celebrated. It is the traditional end of the Christmas season and the last day of the Christmas holidays for both Primary and Secondary schools.
The name Little Christmas is also found in Slovenian (mali božič).
It is also known as Nollaig na mBan (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 women will either hold parties or go out to celebrate the day with their friends, sisters, mothers, aunts etc. Bars and restaurants 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.

“Christmas” is a song written by Pete Townshend and is the seventh song on the Who’s rock opera Tommy. The song tells how on Christmas morning, Tommy’s father (others claim it is both of Tommy’s parents) is worried about Tommy’s future, and soul. He claims “Tommy doesn’t know what day it is/He doesn’t know who Jesus was or what praying is,” and he wonders “How can he be saved/From the eternal grave?”
Musical themes
Musically, Christmas introduces the See Me, Feel Me reprise. Also there is a short “Can You Hear Me” reprise that will be repeated in the song Tommy Can You Hear Me.
That same Christmas, Tommy is given a game of pinball, foreshadowing to the events that take place in “Pinball Wizard”
