Llun yn dangos cerdyn Nadolig a ddyluniwyd gan Siôn (dosbarth 3), disgybl yn Ysgol Rhydfelen, ym 1973. Mae’r dyluniad yn cynrychioli angen mewn gŵn sy’n llifo, gyda chorongylch ac adenydd, ac yn dal gitâr. Mae’r un dyluniad yn ymddangos ochr yn ochr; ar y chwith mae angel sydd wedi eu hamlinellu’n wyn ar gefndir lelog, ar y dde, mae’r angen ar gefndir du. O dan yr angel mae'r testun canlynol: Crist Cyd Ddyn Cymru. O Gasgliad Llyfrau Lloffion Ysgol Rhydfelen a gedwir yn Archifau Morgannwg.
