My birthday. Its my understanding that is used to be the first day of the year long ago. And of course it’s the feast of the Annunciation. And finally it’s the day that Frodo threw the ring into the crack of doom.

My mother read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy every year. She died before the movies came out. When I went to see The Fellowship of the Ring and it started with a view of Hobbiton, I cried - it was so accurate. I still read it about every year. The Kindle version of the Hobbit that I have has Tolkien reading some of it.
