Hmph.

It's a shame more Americans of Welsh descent don't observe March 1st. In fact, the more recent "Celtic revivals" over here seem to barely acknowledge the Welsh--at least, by comparison to how strong representation is for the Gaels.

I've always wondered whether it was because Welsh immigrants here either settled in isolated pockets and kept to themselves (like the coal-mining communities in eastern Pennsylvania, where you'll find the really strict traditionalists to this day) or else got so assimilated into mainstream America, their descendants have no connection with their roots.

Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus all the same. :)
