Nadolig Llawen is Welsh for Merry Christmas. Nadolig means Christmas and llawen means merry or joyful. In Welsh, the describing word usually comes after the thing it describes — so it's "Christmas merry", not "merry Christmas".
How do you say it?
Roughly: nad-OL-ig HLAH-wen. The Welsh "ll" has no English match: place your tongue as if to say "l", then breathe out gently past the sides. If it comes out as "thl", nobody will mind at Christmas.
Choosing the writing on your Christmas T-shirt
Each of our five Christmas T-shirts — the Dragon, Stag, Phoenix, Werewolf and Unicorn — comes with a choice of writing:
- Nadolig Llawen — for Welsh speakers, learners, and anyone proud of Wales.
- Merry Christmas — for friends and family who'd rather read it at a glance.
- No writing — just the festive beast, so it works beyond December.
Each shirt is £12, in Male or Female fit from S to XXXL. The colour is a surprise from the studio — you can add up to three colour wishes, and we'll do our best.
