Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus! Or happy Saint David's day to those who don't understand Welsh, which is everyone here and also most Welsh people  . For those who don't know Dewi Sant, or Saint David in English, is the patron saint of Wales, so today is a celebration of all things Welsh. Unfortunately it's not very well celebrated these days, but everyone still takes the chance to wear a dafodill or leek (our national emblems) on their shirt and be all patriotic for the day.
Here's some Welsh stuff for you to enjoy:
The Welsh National Anthem sung by the Rugby team and about 65,000+ Welsh fans:

The words to the anthem (in Welsh and English):

Our Flag:

A map of us (I'm in Wrexham):

And finally something funny, Ali G in Wales (don't worry we don't all have accents as strong as the teacher):

So again, Happy Saint David's Day everyone, I know I'm going to enjoy it!  |

No Saint David's Day wishes? Fine, I just wont say Happy Thanksgiving when the time comes, or wish whatever it is you Canadians celebrate, seen as its pretty much the same thing  |
