fun fact of the day: the Cymraeg/Welsh for "December" is "mis Rhagfyr" which literally means something like "month of time becoming short" or more poetically "the year's almost out" 😃

more calendar chat @johano apparently today is <the day off the 7 suppers> as gaelige as the night is so long you could eat 7 suppers. Also apparently January is the month of the wolf · 1 year ago

interesting history! never knew that about Scotland... also interesting about Nollaig in Irish, because Cymraeg for Christmas is Nadolig, often shortened to just Dolig · 1 year ago

Difference between Ireland and Scotland lololol - in Irish its Nollaig - literally the month of Christmas. (you need to remember that Xmas was a working day in Scotland until the 1950s) · 1 year ago
