I am thankful for.....
Since all of us Americans have just been celebrating Thanksgiving, I thought we could do a thread about it.
What Tolken related things are you thankful for? and/or What kinds of things would Lord of the Rings characters be thankful for. and/or What would a Lord of the Rings Thanksgiving be like? Try not to make this a list. Be creative and insightful. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I am thankful for the Two Towers Extended Edition and for the pending release of the Return of the King!
On a more, serious note, I am also thankful that I have such exciting and interesting peers to debate and exchange knowledge with on this fine website! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm thankful that someone decided to make the written LotR trilogy into a movie trilogy. (That doesn't mean I think that they did an excellent job of it.)
I think Frodo would be thankful for being able to go and rest in the Grey Havens.

I'm guessing that you guys are all from the states right? I'm sitting up here in Canada and we had our thanksgiving weeks ago. But I'll have so fun none the less.
I am thankful for this site, and having something to do while skipping Foods class. I am thankful for the LOTR scale dubbles. Little mini Frodos, Merrys, Sams and Pippins running around make it far more believable.

Hi Aina!
Quote:
I'm gonna do the whole fellowship- Frodo- I am thankful for the mithril coat that kept me from being "skewered like a wild boar" or whatever the quote was Sam- I am thankful for Bill ("I luuuv you bill!") Merry/Pippen- We're thankful for mushrooms, which seem to conveniently grow wherever we need them Boromir- I will try to be thankful that there will soon be a ruler in Gondor much more competent than me or dear daddy Aragorn- I am thankful for my ability to look sexy even when I'm covered in dirt and blood. Legolas- I am thankful for my secret horde of hairdressers that no one knows about *cough*, (because I keep them well hidden in Lothlorien cloaks) Gandalf- I am thankful for (umm, what would gandalf be thankful for?) the fact that we no longer have to trip over various tom-fool-of-a-took's and that the orcs took them away... far away... Gimli- (okay I'm running out of brainpower here) I am thankful for Aragorn making me go to Lothlorien, otherwise I might never have met Galadriel... What are you all staring at me for!!!!!!!!! I know these aren't funny but I tried... *hides in a dark corner whimpering* [ 12:53 PM November 30, 2003: Message edited by: Lady Snickerdoodle ]

I am thankful for Extended DVDs, most especially all the behind-the-scenes stuff. I am thankful that RotK is coming out soon. Sam is (possibly, just a little) thankful for Gollum, because if Gollum did not bite off Frodo's finger and fall into Mt. Doom, Sam probably would have had to push Frodo in to save Middle-Earth. Sauron is thankful for Palantirs.

Well, here's my version of a LOTR thanksgiving:
It was originally set to be held in the Shire because most hobbits love parties, and food. But then came the idea of bringing in the races of men, elves, and possibly dwarves. Then they decided against it, for many hobbits are afraid of the "bigger folk". The next location decided on was Bree, for the hobbits there were used to other races. So in someones home they held the first Thanksgiving dinner in Middle Earth. Hobbits, of course, brought plenty of ale for everyone to drink. Men and women brought great deserts like pies. Dwarves, brought nice meat. Though some made the mistake of nimbling the lembas that came from the elves, making them completely full.

I'm thankful for the humor sections in the LOTR sites, that always make me laugh when I'm down or gigglely. I'm thankful for J.R.R. Tolkien, fighting a war, being religious, combinding the two and writing the best book ever writen!(in my opinion)
Frodo would be thankful for Sam, helping him through the jouney. Sam would be thankful for Frodo and Bill, and things that grow. Aragorn would be thankful for the encouagement he got from many people. Legolas would be thankful for the ents and Gimli his new friend. Gimli would be thankful for his axes, Galadriel, and Legolas. Merry would be thankful for Pippin, ents, and pipeweed. Pippin would be thankful for Merry, food, ents, and entdraught. Boromir would be thankful for his little brother. Faramir would be thankful that he wasn't tempted to take the ring, and Eowyn. Gandalf would be thankful for his knowledge, and Frodo. Theoden would be thankful for, Eowyn ,Eomer, and his horse. Eowyn would be thankful for, Faramir, how she can fight, and Theoden. Eomer would be thankful for his sister, horses, and Theoden also. Sauruman would be thankful for fire, his insane knowledge, and the palantir. Wormtounge would be thankful for, not dying in Edoras, and his tounge. Last (I know this was long but I needed to get it out) Sauron would be thankful for Ringwraiths, Mount. Doom, and the Ring. Thanks for your time! Sorry if it's not what you expected.
