	Concordance Among the Calendars of Middle-earth
		In the Shire Calendar, the year begins on 21 December, for we read that ‘Mid-year’s Day was intended to correspond as nearly as possible to the summer solstice’, which falls on 21 June.
		For the Shire Calendar, as well as the Kings’, Stewards’ and New Reckoning, it has been assumed that the leap-years of each one are more or less coincident with those where we would have a 29 February.
		The fact that, in the Gregorian calendar, no century year is a leap-year unless it is exactly divisible by 400 has been left out of consideration for the purposes of this essay; thus also the lack of enderi-doubling in the last year of every third yén, in the Calendar of Imladris.

	The Shire Calendar
		The calendar used by the Hobbits of the Shire divided the year into twelve months which, unlike the irregular months of Roman and modern Europe, were of equal length: every month in the Hobbit year had exactly thirty days.
		The calendars of both the Shire and our own Christian Europe make this compromise; though for our European ancestors the Spring equinox, as the beginning of their year, was the focus of concern rather than the Summer solstice.
		This would anchor the Shire calendar to the seasons, whose ebb and flow is largely ignored by our synthetic Gregorian calendar (which does not treat as special either solstices, equinoxes, or the cross-quarter days in between).

	Shire Calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shire Calendar was a calendar used in J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth by the Hobbits of the Shire.

		The Shire's calendar year was divided into 12 months of 30 days.

	Date::Tolkien::Shire.pm - search.cpan.org
		This is an object-oriented module to convert dates into the Shire Calender as presented in the Lord of the Rings by J. Tolkien.
		According to Appendix D of the Lord of the Rings, leap years in hobbit calendar are every 4 years unless its the turn of the century, in which case it's not a leap year.
		So, if no changes have been made to the hobbit's calendar since the end of the third age, their calendar would be about 15 days further behind ours now then when the War of the Ring took place.

	Middle-earth calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Shire the three days of midsummer were called Lithedays, and the two days of midwinter were the Yuledays.
		The other innovation in the Shire calendar was to make Midsummer's Day (and the Overlithe) outside the week, as well as the month, meaning the days of the week would not change in relation to the days of the year.
		It counts from the founding of the Shire in T.A. The Hobbit names of the months came from names used in Anduin in antiquity, and their meanings were often obscure or forgotten.

		Thus, Shire Reckoning's Year One began at the crossing of the Brandywine by the brothers Marcho and Blanco, which was Third Age 1601.

	Yule - Tolkien Gateway
		Two days in the calendars of the Hobbits that marked the end of one year, and the beginning of the next.
		Due to a peculiarity of the Shire Calendar, the Yuledays always fell on the same days of the week.
		The formal use of Yule in the Shire calendar cannot, by definition, predate the foundation of the Shire in T.A. However, its appearance there represents a survival of an older tradition, and the name 'Yule' for a midwinter festival was known as far from the Shire as Rohan and Gondor.

	Days & Dates of Middle-earth
		Overlithe fell during the Great Year of Plenty in 3020 after the War of the Ring, and it was the merriest holiday in the history of the Shire.
		Ringday was celebrated on Frodo's birthday of September 22 - which corresponded to the 30th of Yavannie on the calendar of the New Reckoning.
		Like the Shire Calendar, the Old English calendar had months called Ærra Geola - meaning "before Yule" - and Æfterra Geola - or "after Yule." The precise meaing of geola is uncertain, but it may be related to the word "wheel," implying the turning of the year.
