First Minister Eluned Morgan has wished Wales a “peaceful and joyful” Christmas in a special message overnight.

Nadolig llawen.

At this special time of year, I want to send my warmest wishes for a peaceful and joyful Christmas to you all.

Wherever you are and however you’re marking the season, I hope you find space to pause, reflect and spend precious moments with those you love.

Christmas is a chance to come together with family, friends and neighbours – to share laughter, good food, and the simple comfort of being in each other’s company.

I hope you are able to enjoy those moments and find time to rest and recharge with your loved ones.

To those who will be working over the festive period, I want to say diolch o galon – my heartfelt thanks.

From our emergency services and the NHS staff, to our social care teams, transport workers and everyone who keep essential services running – thank you for everything you do to keep us safe and keep Wales moving at this time of year. Your dedication and service are deeply appreciated.

And to the thousands of volunteers who give their time so generously – supporting foodbanks, checking in on neighbours, organising community events, or simply offering kindness where it’s needed most – you embody the true spirit of Christmas.

Your compassion strengthens our communities and reminds us what Wales does best – we care.

We also know that Christmas can be a lonely or difficult time for some. Many of us will be missing a loved one. If you can do one thing this festive season, let it be to reach out – a phone call, a visit, or a few kind words can make a world of difference to someone who may be struggling.
