Thank you for leaving such a kind message, Alison.

I have to comment on the amazing creativity, and got to love the Hobbits.
So many challenges I want to participate in, but I already have more than 70 and I am feeling very overwhelmed at the moment.

Read as many or a few as you want.
You can read one of each or many of one or two.

Progress: 6 out of at least 1
September 22 is Hobbit Day. The American Tolkien Society created this very special day in 1978. You can be certain that they had a big, big party with lots of food, dancing, and fireworks.
Hobbits are little guys, and little gals, just two to four feet tall. They are our heroes in the Lord of the Ring movies, performing great acts heroism and courage. Hobbits go around barefoot, and eat seven meals a day. They also like to dance, have parties, and enjoy fireworks. The movie "The Fellowship of the Ring" opened in this manner, celebrating Bilbo Baggins birthday.
You can celebrate this special holiday, by going to a Lord of the Rings movie, or reading any of author J.R.R. Tolkien's books that include hobbits. You can hold a Hobbit party.... don't forget the fireworks. You may also chose to walk around barefoot all day. That sounds like fun. As for me, I will celebrate this day enjoying seven meals.
