Hi everyone!
We're having a very quiet New Year's Eve after several busy days. On tap? This intriguing movie:
Catching up before we see the third film.
Are you a Hobbit fan?
Living an authentic life in "Our Little Cottage In The Big Woods". Raising our children, creating art, writing, film making, fibre art, furniture painting, gardening, traveling, restoring vintage dollhouses, hunting for antique treasures & chasing our big dream to live by the sea, all on a frugal budget.

I like the book The Hobbit, but find the movies a little tiresome. So many battles that all seem the same. What an incredible imagination Tolkien was blessed with.
Happy New Year! Enjoy your celebration.
I agree Lorrie that the battle scenes are quite long and hard to watch. That's the time in the movie where I sometimes "drift" and then come back when the battle is over.
Happy New Year to you and your family. A quiet celebration here but enjoyable all the same.
Hi Chy, happy new year to you! I am a huge fan of the Hobbit, and have read the book more times than I can count. I have enjoyed the films, especially the third, but I can only cope with it as an 'adaptation' of the way I imagine all the characters in my head! Nothing ever takes the place of the original book. Do you have Tolkeins ' 'Letters from Father Christmas'? It is a wonderful book; a collection of letters from Tolkein to his children, written as if from Father Christmas, and with his peerless illustrations. I read it every Christmas.i think you'd love it! X
Hi Penny. The film was quite good today and I do agree with your comment about adaptation. I've not read Letters from Father Christmas. Sounds like a fascinating read. Will have to look for it. Thanks for the great suggestion!
