12. It's Hobbit Day!

Bilbo Baggins AND Frodo Baggins were born on September 22nd!

It's also the date that Bilbo left the Shire, the date (17 years later) that the first black rider entered the Shire, the date (one year later) that Frodo, Merry, Pippin, and Sam left Crickhollow on the start of their journey, and the date of several other important events that I won't detail here - lest I reveal myself to be a total nerd. :P
