De Sadorn, degves warn  ügens  mis Kevardh û Saturday, 30th December Dedhyow moy! En termyn eus passyes na alja Catholygyon desky aga crejyans dhe 'ga flehes. Etho, ev a veu cudhys en can rag Nadelik. An tryja dedh a Nadelik ow whegol a dhavonas dhebm teyr yar Frenk. (A re ma ew an trei  vertû; Fay, Esperans ha Cherita.)  An pajwora dedh a Nadelik ev a dhavonas peder edhen dh û  glow. (An re ma ew an pajar Aweyl ha'n pajar Aweylor; Mathew, Mark, L û k ha  Jôwan.) More days! In past times Catholics couldn't teach their faith to their children. So, it was hidden in a song for Christmas. The third day of Christmas my true-love sent three French hens to me. (These are the three virtues; Faith, Hope and Charity.) The fourth day he sent four colly (coal black) birds. (These are the four Gospels and the four Gospel writers; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.)

De Gwener, nawes warn  ügens  mis Kevardh û Friday, 29th December A  wöro  whei an  cân  "An Dewdhek Dedh a Nadelik"? En termyn eus passyes hebma veu leun a  arwòdhelieth. Tho termyn a-bris rag  Cristòdnyon, ha thera menyng dhe bub dedh. An kensa dedh a Nadelik ow wheg-oll a dhavonas dhebm  grügyar, "une perdrix" (nag eus gwedhen). Hemm ew edhen a vedn merwel rag gwitha hy flehes. Hedna ow styrya  agan Arlòdh. An nessa dedh a Nadelik ev a dhavonas dhebm diw d üren. Ma dew radn meur dhe'n Beybel Sans - Testament Coth ha Testament Nowydh. Do you know the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas"? Once upon a time this was full of symbolism. It was an important time for Christians, and there was a meaning to each day. The first day of Christmas my true-love sent to me a partridge, "une perdrix" (there's no tree). This is a bird that will die to protect her children. That signifies our Lord. On the second day of Christmas he sent me two turtle dov...

De Yow, ethves warn ugens mis Kevardhu Thursday, 28th December Terweythyow, nag ew an jedh pur wheg, ha nag eus tra veth rag foto da. Ma sawarn wheg dhen flourys caglys, saw na ellama kemeres foto a sawarn. An eborn ew loos gen cloudys ha na ellama gweles an howl isel.

Oll an cloudys bian ew liwys gen arhans, ha terweythyow theram ow qweles liwyow adro dhe'n loor. Sometimes, the day is not very nice, and there is nothing for a good photo. The muddied flowers have a sweet smell, but I can't take a photo of a smell. The sky is grey with clouds and I can't see the low sun. However, at night time I can't see the rough garden and the muddy lane. And now there is a full moon, and it is high in the sky. All the little clouds are coloured with silver, and sometimes I am seeing colours around the moon.

    De Merher, seythves warn  ügens mis Kevardhu Wednesday, 27th December Ma glaw hedhyw. Henn ew oll. Na wr ü ga vy mos mes. Martesen avorow a vedh gwell. Whath ma pas drog warnam. Na vadna vy gwil tra veth. My ell clowes an mor, bes nos ew lebmyn. There is rain today. That is all. I didn't go out. Perhaps tomorrow will be better. I still have a bad cough. I don't want to do anything. I can hear the sea, but it's night now.

De Meurth, wheffes warn ugens mis Kervardhu Tuesday, 26th December Nag ew an gewer yeyn hedhyw (saw nag ew hei segh), etho thera whans dhe'n maw bian a wary et ow lowarth  slotterüs .

Ma bottys stanch dhe'n maw ha ma peder ros vras dhe'n carr leyjek. My ell glanhe an leur avorow! The weather isn't cold today (but it isn't dry), so the little boy wanted to play in my muddy garden. He has a new toy - a monster truck, like a shark. The mud is not a problem for the child and, fortunately, the mud is not difficult for the vehicle. The boy has waterproof boots and the muddy vehicle has four big wheels. I can clean the floor tomorrow!

De Lun, pempes warn ugens mis Kevardhu Monday, 25th December Du Nadelik. Nadelik lowen dhe oll ow herens ha cowetha. Hedhyw a veu dedh hogstog - dedh pur vesy.

Happy Christmas to all my relations and friends. Today was a hectic day - a very busy day. Now I am tired and I am going to bed quite early. I plan to do nothing tomorrow. I will eat food left from today. I will not prepare any new food.
