Canonically on one of the few dated events in the trilogy, The Lord of The Rings opens with the birthday celebrations on this day held in in honour of Bilbo and cousin Frodo Baggins, the latter who upon attaining his thirty-third year legally comes of age, six decades after the beginning of The Hobbit. Funny, therapeutic, relatable and a bit cathartic, we recommend attending this recent hearing of this case, family law, from one superfan Tom Bombadil, plaintiff, seeking judgment to turn a harvest festival into a Bilbo Baggins Birthday Bash (listen or watch the proceedings below) and wants the participation of his partner, who finds the idea a bit too cringe for her tastes.
