Happy Holidays! Arranging all the different Christmas dishes was so much fun! The music was really addictive and kept getting stuck in my head, and I loved learning more about Mari Lwyd too!

Thank you so much for the video! I love it!

Glad you liked the music, it's a Welsh Christmas song called "Nadolig Llawen i chi gyd". So I cannot claim of inventing it! But I liked you singing along to.


I'm so happy you liked my game ❤️
