This morning at Mass, the priest mentioned to us that today (Sept. 22) is International Hobbit Day, which is clearly a very important date, and worthy of note. While I’ve been able to find corroberation of this online, I can’t seem to find any actual information about it. So, what does anyone know about this illustrius day, and how ought we to observe it?

Well, September 22 is the birthday for both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins.

Fireworks? Lots of Food?

I’ll use any excuse to watch LOTR:FOTR again
