I am totally going to do something this year, although I think my sister is probably the only one that would celebrate with me haha
this year you can also join: The Mythgard Student Tolkien Day Webathon.
This twelve-hour event will stream live over the Internet starting at 11:00 am EDT and will run continuously until 11:00 PM EDT.
It sounds as if it is going to be great fun as well as very interesting.
