[personal profile] shirebound posting in [community profile] hobbit_holidays
This is a community for posting drabbles, ficlets, stories, poetry, pics, art, or greetings revolving around holidays celebrated -- or encountered -- by hobbits. Stories can be as short as 50 words, or as long as 5000, and may certainly include non-hobbit characters; however, they must feature one or more hobbits and the holiday of your choice. All story genres and ratings are permitted; therefore, please post according to the rules, which can be found here.

Only members may post, so please be sure to "join" and "friend" this community if you wish to post here. Stories, poetry, or art posted here may be cross-posted to your own journal, but it would be a courtesy to reference [livejournal.com profile] hobbit_holidays when doing so. Reviews, feedback, and creativity are encouraged. Enjoy the holidays with a hobbit!

First up... All Hallow's Eve (Halloween). What is Halloween like -- past or present -- in the Shire? Do villages such as Hobbiton celebrate differently than larger regions such as Buckland? Do the hobbits have stories or traditions to tell their fellow Travellers along the Quest, or at journey's end? Do the hobbits celebrate Halloween after they arrive in Rivendell?

Isn't that dog great? How he manages to look so dignified under the circumstances... hee, hee.

I think hobbits and Huan celebrating Thanksgiving or Yule is definitely a possibility :)

Oh, this is such a great idea. I have always been very intrigued by how the hobbits celebrate holidays since Tolkien never states really whether they do or don't.

This sounds like a fun idea so I've just joined up! Halloween is such an atmospheric time, so it's a good place to start.
