How to Write a Letter to Santa in Welsh

Christmas is a wonderful holiday and writing a letter to Santa Claus (Siôn Corn in Welsh) is a pleasure for children as well as adults. If you’re fluent in Welsh or if you’re wanting to encourage your children to learn Cymraeg, why not send Santa your letter in Welsh this year? Follow this step-by-step guide to create your own Welsh-language letter to Siôn Corn.

 

Step 1: Greeting Santa🎅

Start your letter with a warm and friendly greeting. In Welsh, you can say:

• Annwyl Siôn Corn - Dear Santa Claus
• Helo Siôn Corn - Hello Santa Claus

If you want to be extra polite, you can add:

• Sut wyt ti heddiw? - How are you today?

 

Step 2: Introduce Yourself 🧸

Let Santa know who you are! Include your name and maybe your age. Here’s how you can do it:

• Fy enw i yw [Eich Enw]. - My name is [Your Name].
• Rydw i’n [Eich Oedran] oed. - I am [Your Age] years old.

For example:

Fy enw i yw Megan. Rydw i’n saith oed.

 

 

Step 3: Tell Santa If You’ve Been Good🎄

This is the part where you convince Santa you’re on the nice list! Use phrases like:

• Rydw i wedi bod yn blentyn da eleni. - I’ve been a good child this year.
• Rydw i’n helpu Mam a Dad gartref. - I help Mum and Dad at home.
• Rydw i’n ceisio fy ngorau bob amser. - I always try my best.

If you want to be honest about a few naughty moments, you can say:

• Weithiau, rydw i wedi bod ychydig yn ddrwg, ond rydw i’n ceisio bod yn well. - Sometimes, I’ve been a little naughty, but I’m trying to be better.

 

 

Step 4: Ask for Gifts 🎁

This is the exciting part! Politely ask Siôn Corn for what you’d like for Christmas. Here’s how to write your wish list:

• Hoffwn i gael [Eich Gofynion] os gwelwch yn dda. - I would like to have [Your Requests] please.
• Hoffwn i dderbyn... - I would like to receive...

Examples:

• Hoffwn i gael beic newydd os gwelwch yn dda. - I would like a new bike, please.
• Hoffwn i dderbyn teganau anifeiliaid fferm. - I would like to receive farm animal toys.

 

 

Step 5: Mention the Treats You’ve Left 🥛 🍪

Santa and his reindeer work hard on Christmas Eve, so it’s thoughtful to let him know you’ve left them some treats.

• Rydw i wedi gadael ychydig o fwyd i ti a’r ceirw. - I’ve left some food for you and the reindeer.
• Gobeithio byddwch chi’n mwynhau’r llaeth, bisgedi, mins pei a moron! - I hope you enjoy the milk, cookies, mince pie, and carrots!

 

 

 

Step 6: Say Thank You and Goodbye 🎀

End your letter with gratitude and a festive farewell. Here are some ideas:

• Diolch yn fawr, Siôn Corn! - Thank you very much, Santa!
• Dwi’n edrych ymlaen at y Nadolig. - I’m looking forward to Christmas.
• Hwyl am y tro! - Bye for now!
• Nadolig Llawen! - Merry Christmas!
