Hen Galan - Welsh New Year

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda - Hen Galan - the old new year - Calennig apples - toast with holes - joyful voices - Mari Lwyd - cider spilled - the trees awake! May the new year begin! 

A magical afternoon with Kristoffer, the Anglesey Druid Order and many friends old and new. 

🍎Old apple tree, we wassail thee

And hoping thou wilt bear 

For the Lord doth know where we shall be

Till apples come another year.

🍎For to bear well, and to bloom well 

So merry let us be,

Let every man take off his hat, 

And shout to the old apple tree!

🍎Old apple tree, we wassail thee, 

And hoping thou wilt bear Hatfuls, capfuls and three bushel bagsful 

And a little heap under the stairs, 

Hip, Hip, Hooray!

⭐️Calenning - tôn, Ymdaith Gwyr Harlech Blwyddyn Newydd dda, gyfeillion,

‘R hyn oedd ynddi gas ei guddion,

⭐️Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!
