De Sul, pajwora warn ugens mis Kevardhu Sunday, 24th December My a gar curlys rag musek Nadelik. Bettegens, gwell ew gen radn an bobel canys  wharthüs. Termyn my a veu flogh my a glowas "Nag eus whans dhebm rag Nadelik bes a'm dew dhans rag!" E'n dedhyow na nag era dhen bes "records" ha radyo. Nena, en universita my a ganas "Santa Baby" Eartha Kitt. War dhisk ewedh. An canow ma o meurgerys dres lies bledhen. Lebmyn ma resek rag Niver Onan Nadelik - war fonys. I love carols for Christmas music. However, some people prefer comical songs. When I was a child I heard "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!" In those days we only had records and radio. Then, at university I sang Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby". Also on a disk. Those songs were popular for many years. Now there is a race for Christmas Number One - on phones.

De Sadorn, tryja warn ugens mis Kevardhu Saturday, 23rd December Ma othom dhebm a howl! Nag ew an gewer hedhyw yeyn, saw an eborn ew leun a cloudys. Na ellama gweles an mor, saw my ell y glowes.

I need sun! The weather today is not cold, but the sky is full of clouds. I can't see the sea, but I can hear it. It is like a constant humming on one note in the distance. It's not like weather in carols! Nobody sings of clouds. See! Amid the snow ... I sat on a green bank ... in sunshine ...

De Gwener, nessa warn ugens mis Kevardhu Friday, 22nd December Ma meur a whel dhe wil ken Nadelik, saw nag es genam nerth dh'y wil! Solabres ma tesen Nadelik gen tegednow dhe nei.

There's a lot of work to do before Christmas, but I don't have any energy to do it. We already have a Christmas tree with baubles. The moon made of glass is the best - it is very old. We have bought a lot of food for feeding the family on Christmas Day, so nobody will be hungry. Perhaps, some of them will not b...

Nag ew an Aver best compes - mor-aver ew, pecar'a morvoren ew hy lost. Lebmyn an howl a wra mos dhe'n noor, terebo  Golôwan . The 21st day of the month of December is an interesting day. It's the shortest day of the year (and the longest night). It is the winter solstice. Sagittarius (the Archer) has gone and today Capricorn (the Goat) begins. The sun is over the Tropic of Capricorn in Australia - it is the longest day there. I didn't see any sun today. Capricorn is not a regular animal - it is a sea-goat, with a tail like a mermaid. Now the sun will go north, until Midsummer.

  De Merher , ügensves mis Kevardh û   Wednesday, 20 th December   Tho vy clav. Ma annes war ow brest vy. Theram ow saya dhe cessya heb pâsa, saw na ellama.

I am trying to stop coughing, but I can’t . I would like to see my family before Christmas, but I will have to be wearing a mask. I can’t go to see the Montol Festival in Penzance, but I can watch this video.  

De Meurth, nawnjegves mis Kevardhu Tuesday, 19th December Termyn hir thera agan kentrevoges ow cawas dowr dhort pibell blastek. Wotiwedh, tus whel a dheuth gen jynn-palas dhe worra hy fibell en dor reb an vownder (ken dos an rew dhe rewy hy dowr). For a long time our neighbour was getting water from a plastic pipe. At last, workmen came with a mechanical digger to put her pipe in the ground by the lane (before the frost comes to freeze her water).
