What did you do for Tolkien's Birthday? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I didn't get a chance to raise a toast, but I did get to read the last few pages of "Journey to the Cross-roads".

What was your way of showing a little Birthday present to the spirit of Tolkien?

I did make a toast at 9 pm, and I thanked Tolkien for influencing my childhood in the way his books did
and I read something from the UT, though I didn't necessarily read that just because of his birthday, guess it was a coincidence

Well having raised my pint of "Fursty Ferret", I proceeded to continue with the reading of threads I had saved to my hard drive, continuing to involve myself in his fascinating and timeless world.

Well, I wished my friend a happy Tolkien's birthday and congratulated my father (who was unaware of the day) of his music choice (which was a selection of songs inspired by LotR).

I listened to my favorite LOTR song, "The Breaking of the Fellowship".
