Nuru, I love your idea about starting "officially" on March 25. Love it.

Dec 17 will be hard for me to remember, though, because it's not in the books-- is it?--

Here's a few dates from The Encyclopaedia of Arda-- I may pick one of these... was it the 22nd that Frodo crossed the Ford and passed out? or more like the 19th or... gah. I'll have to look it up at home.

1 October Black Riders raid Buckland in the early morning.
25 October The Council of Elrond.
25 December The setting-out of the Fellowship from Rivendell.

EDIT:
According to this link it was the twentieth of October that Frodo reached the Fords of Isen. He woke up on the 24th (OK, makes sense) and the council was on the 25th.
That page is a nice resource, by the way. Check it out.
Funduilas's J. R. R. Tolkien page...
