Hobbit Day is the birthday of the hobbits Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. In the books by JRR Tolkien, both Bilbo and Frodo celebrated their birthdays on September 22, but they were born in different years. Bilbo was born in the year 2890 and Frodo in the year 2968 in the Third Age.

Hobbit Day is also the birthday, in these modern times, of my very special Drama Daughter, who is celebrating no doubt, in grand style, at her college in faraway Pennsylvania. If I drank beer like the hobbits or any other kind of alcohol, I would lift a toast to Frodo and to Bilbo and to Drama Daughter. In lieu of that, I give you The Piano Guys:

Happy Hobbit Day, and Happy Birthday, Drama Daughter!
