Summary: The Gaelic for Christmas is Nollaig. We say, "Nollaig chridheil dhuibh" for "Merry Christmas to you". In the old days, there were two Nollaigs – the Nollaig Mhòr and the Nollaig Bheag. The Nollaig Mhòr was Christmas. The Nollaig Bheag was New Year's Day. Find out more in this week's podcast. Accompanying text is available in both English and Gaelic at bbc.co.uk/litirbheag.
