Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd gwynt oer y gaeaf yn chwythu trwy'r gymdogaeth.
En: The cold winter wind was blowing through the neighborhood.

Cy: Roedd eira'n gorchuddio'r strydoedd, gan gyplysu gyda goleuadau lliwgar ar doau'r tai.
En: Snow covered the streets, blending with the colorful lights on the rooftops of the houses.

Cy: Roedd llon a llawer yn crwydro gyda bagiau o anrhegion a chyflenwadau Nadolig.
En: People were bustling about with bags of gifts and Christmas supplies.

Cy: Roedd plant yn chwerthin wrth adeiladu dynion eira yn eu gerddi.
En: Children were laughing as they built snowmen in their gardens.

Cy: Dafydd, a oedd yn berson trefnus iawn, crwydrodd i'r siop leol gyda'i restr hir o addurniadau angenrheidiol.
En: Dafydd, who was a very organized person, wandered to the local store with his long list of necessary decorations.

Cy: Roedd yn awyddus iawn i greu arddangosfa Nadolig ysblennydd i'r tŷ, gan obeithio gwneud argraff ar y cymdogion a churo teitl anffurfiol "goreu'r addurniadau.
En: He was very eager to create a splendid Christmas display for the house, hoping to impress the neighbors and win the unofficial title of "best decorations."

Cy: " Ond roedd siopau'r ardal wedi gwerthu allan rhai manylion pwysig.
En: But the shops in the area had sold out of some crucial items.

Cy: Canolbwyntiodd Dafydd ar ei restr, tra bod Carys, ei bartner, yn credu bod yr holl ffocws tuag ar addurniadau allanol yn amlinellu ysbryd gwirioneddol y Nadolig.
En: Dafydd focused on his list, while Carys, his partner, believed that all the focus on external decorations outlined the true spirit of Christmas.

Cy: Roedd hi am i Dafydd dreulio mwy o amser agos ac ystyrlon gyda'r teulu a'r cymdogion, nid yn unig gyda phlan ar gyfer goleuadau daclus.
En: She wanted Dafydd to spend more quality and meaningful time with family and neighbors, not just with a plan for tidy lights.

Cy: Wrth grwydro'r siop galedwedd leol, bagiau llen gyda llai o heulwen na'r disgwyl, daeth y ddau ar draws Rhys, eu cymydog hamddenol.
En: While wandering through the local hardware store, bags filled with fewer items than expected, they came across Rhys, their easygoing neighbor.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn berson doniol ac yn ennyn storïau difyr bob amser.
En: Rhys was a funny person and always generated amusing stories.

Cy: Mewn sgwrs ddifeddwl gyda Dafydd, cofiodd Rhys ef mai'r atgofion gorau o'r gwyliau oedd y rhai ar gysylltiadau a llawenydd, nid y cynhyrchiad allanol.
En: In a casual conversation with Dafydd, Rhys reminded him that the best memories of the holidays were those of connections and joy, not the external display.

Cy: Gan gofio geiriau Rhys, trodd Dafydd adref gyda ychydig o eitemau ystyrlon a dechreuodd weithio gyda Carys ar set addurniadau mwy personol.
En: Remembering Rhys's words, Dafydd went home with a few meaningful items and started working with Carys on a more personal set of decorations.

Cy: Roeddent yn mwynhau creu golygfa unigryw gyda'i gilydd, gan ddefnyddio gwrthrychau a oedd yn rhoi llawenydd meddyliau, yn hytrach na dim ond prynian newydd.
En: They enjoyed creating a unique scene together, using objects that brought joy to their minds, rather than just new purchases.

Cy: Yn awr, roedd y tŷ yn enghraifft o harddwch a chynhesrwydd, ond y tu mewn i'r galon, daeth awgrymion Dafydd a Carys ynghyd fel llonyddwch hapus y tymor.
En: Now, the house was an example of beauty and warmth, but inside the heart, Dafydd and Carys's suggestions came together as the happy calm of the season.

Cy: Roedd y rhannu a'r chwerthin a ddaeth o'r gwaith a wnaethon nhw gyda'i gilydd wedi newid rhywbeth cryfach - dealltwriaeth mwy dwfn o wirionedd y gwyliau, ac ymuniad tynnach gyda'r bobl gydag y nhw'n poeni fwyaf.
En: The sharing and laughter that came from the work they did together transformed into something stronger—a deeper understanding of the true essence of the holidays, and a tighter bond with the people they cared about most.
