My Dearest Neighbor,

​

Oh, what a sight it is! The sunlight glints off the snow as if the stars themselves have fallen to earth, the bare twigs of the trees scrape the heavens in their frost-laced glory, and the sky is so blue and bright that it seems to hum with joy! The crisp air nips at my toes (which, bless them, are delightfully hirsute and hearty!), and I can’t help but laugh. Aye, the time of Happy Hobbitdays is upon us once more!

​

Happy Hobbitdays are the finest time of the year! A time for cherishing simple joys—laughter that rolls like a river, games full of jest and good cheer, tales shared by the fireside, wrapped in the warmth of kin, neighbors, and good friends. It’s in these moments that our hearts are full, and our spirits soar, much like the birds on a clear winter’s morning.

​

But let us not forget, dear friend, that Happy Hobbitdays are all the brighter when we share our bounty with those less fortunate. There’s true joy to be found in helping others to smile and find a little warmth in the season. So, with all the merry hobbit cheer and the fondest wishes I can muster, I say to you, Happy Hobbitdays and a most wondrous New Year!

​

Yours ever so humbly,

​

Bill-Bob Baggins
