Bilbo's Birthday

Ahhh, it's Bilbo Baggins' birthday again. It is an annual event here at Holden to celebrate Bilbo's birthday. If you are a fan of "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings," you may remember that September 22 is this famous Hobbit's birthday. You are probably also familiar with the fact that Hobbits eat ten meals a day, everyday, not just on their birthday.

At Holden we celebrate Bilbo's birthday by, yes, by eating ten meals a day. It starts with breakfast, followed by second breakfast, third breakfast, elevensies, nuncheon, 1sies, afternoons, dinner, rounding off the corners, and last, but not least, a little something at bedtime.

Holden has a Hobbit House in the woods near the creek


On Bilbo's birthday, our own Hobbit, Dawn Coffey, served cookies for the "afternoons" meal

Bilbo's birthday is another fun day at Holden. Volunteers sign up to prepare one of the "meals." We are busy eating all day. We just finish one "meal" and it's time for another. It's hard to keep up.
