Cyfarchion y Nadolig a Dymuniadau Gorau am y Flwyddyn Newydd, pobl!
I am working on my English, BUT you are asking TOOOOOO much!
I guess ?? that it is something from Wales?
Can anyone - please - give a translation ?

translation
Sorry, emanuela! Yes, it is Welsh (which, the Welsh will tell anyone who stands still for long enough, is "one of the oldest languages currently in use in the world", etc, etc).
It renders:
Christmas Greetings and Best Wishes for the New Year
With that to work towards, despite the oddness of the look, you may be able to see some connections with Romanace languages - for example, Nadolig?
I wish you all peace, and love of friends and family.

Teacher: TEd, can you make a sentence with meretricious in it?
TEd: Yes, teacher. Have a meretricious and a happy new year!
Teacher: TEd, you are going to receive a VERY long sentence someday. Probably from (gosh who was it, Bingley??)

Merries and happies to all of you. Though I've been a week away from this illustrious group, and face nearly a thousand unread posts, coming here kinda feels like coming home (y'all will excuse this rare departure into sentimentalism).
So off to start combing threads.
P.S. The solstice is nigh and I for one will be glad to have it arrive.

The solstice is nigh and I for one will be glad to have it arriveAuntie, never was a truer word spake!  Hey folks, I can't be around even a tiny percentage as much as I'd like to be at the moment, but here's an appallingly long, ungrammatical sentence that contains oodles of good wishes for the festive season and beyond. So get to it! Words are great, but booze/food/good company/bad company* is best.  Fisk (* delete as appropriate) (* insert as appropriate) P.S. Thanks emanuela for starting this thread - just what we all needed.

In reply to:
I'm an atheist and independently of that I despise Christmas,
I guess that makes you Old Nick rather than Saint Nick then?  Just kidding. I'm not an atheist, but it is nice to hear from someone else who despises Christmas. That said, I hope everybody enjoys their holiday season. Noho ora mai, ka kite ano

> I despise Christmas<
And greet Americans with Merry Christmas? I love to quote Dickens--"Bah, humbug"
I don't quite hate christmas, but its not one of favorite times of the year.
I hope you get what you desire for christmas--
Shona's idea of good food/good company/ good booze sound about right-- (only i think i fall into the category of bad company--you know what they say
Good girls get to go to heaven,
and bad girls get to go everywhere else!)
but a happy new year to all!
