Welcome to hobbit_holidays! This is a community for posting drabbles, ficlets, stories, poetry, pics, or artwork revolving around holidays celebrated -- or encountered -- by hobbits. Posts are archived in "Memories" at Livejournal, listed by holiday and year posted: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=hobbit_holidays


According to Professor Tolkien, the hobbits celebrate at least three holidays, which can be found in Appendix D of The Return of the King:

Mid-year's Day
Overlithe (the mid-year festival held on leap-years -- such as S.R. 1420)
Yuledays (the last day of the year and the first of the next year)

I don't see why hobbits wouldn't also welcome stories, poetry, or art about:

Valentine's Day
Easter (in the sense of egg hunts, springtime, etc.) -- Please, no religious references.
Mother's Day
Father's Day
Memorial, Veterans', or Remembrance Day
the King's (or Thain's or Ringbearer's) birthday
All Hallow's Eve (Halloween)
Thanksgiving
Gondorian New Year (March 25)
or... anything I've forgotten, such as holidays celebrated by other races and encountered by the hobbits on their travels!

Stories can be as short or long as you wish, and may certainly include non-hobbit characters; however, they must feature one or more hobbits and the holiday or festivity of your choice. All genres and ratings are permitted; therefore, please post the following information, and put your story, poetry, or art under an LJ-cut tag.
