Also called N'gol, Nagol roughly translates to "Land Diving". It is a ceremonial ritual made famous by the inhabitants of Pentecost Island. Nagol involves jumping from a raised platform with vines tethered to ones legs, using the length of the vines to halt the fall close to the ground. Bungee Jumping is believed to have been derived from this ritual.
Between the months of April and June, the islanders participate in the ritual of Nagol on every Saturday

Nadolig comes from old latin which means birthday.
since the welsh for birthday is Penblwydd, this use of 'birthday' is a specific birthday, the birthday of Christ. It casually means Christmas, but of course the word Christmas doesn't literally mean birthday at all.
Llawen means joyful or merry, so Nadolig Llawen is literally merry birthday, and casually means merry xmas.
