So what is The Hobbit Second Breakfast? A celebration of the 75th anniversary of the publication of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Participants are urged to have a very hobbity meal tomorrow morning.
Take a look at the poster below. Can you guess what's not quite right about the event?
Ahem, yes, the meal served at 11 a.m. is elevensies. Tsk, tsk.
So when is "second breakfast"? I'd place it at roughly 8:30 to 9 a.m. That assumes an agricultural lifestyle, in which one rises at dawn, has first breakfast, cares for the animals, then comes in and has second breakfast.
I'll be celebrating with a big, virtual breakfast for you. Come on by to tell me about a favorite a.m. treat, or how Tolkien's fictional world has made an impact on your life.
When do you think "second breakfast" occurs? If you could pick one of Tolkien's cultures to live in, which would you choose?
The Hobbits have the most fun. If I could fit in one of their wonderful round homes, I'd move right in. Although, I might like to ask an Ent if I could build a tree house. You know, live in the tree canopy and ask for a lift whenever I wanted new scenery.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Hobbits know how to party!
DeleteGetting a lift from the ents would be fun, as long as you weren't in a hurry to get to your destination. Don't be hasty! ;-)
A tree house near Ents - now that's a fun idea!
DeleteI imagine they would be very considerate neighbors. :-)
DeleteWoo hoo! So exciting to see others celebrating! I'd love to be in a pub in the Shire, comparing notes on the brew with Sam...
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. I bet he would wax poetical about his favorite, or even write a song about it. (It's sad none of the hobbits are quite as musical in the films as they are in the books.)
DeleteMy son and I will be sharing a pot of tea and something yummy.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! I wish the celebration hadn't fallen on a work day--it would've been fun to share with family.
