It's not Christmas without a LoTR movie to go to in the afternoon. Crap, we had a whole tradition going.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Connie, take up the Boxing Day marathon tradition. It rocks. Great way to detox after Christmas and avoid the stores!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One Hour Breaks? That totally breaks up the flow. Half-hour, max.
I'm guess the line for the restroom will run around 45 minutes.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Well, dammit, they need bigger bathrooms, then.

On our Trilogy day there were very minimal bathroom lines -- because it was in a googaplex and it was a Tuesday. You know?

Hopefully with no LoTR premieres we'll also break the "admit Hubby to the hospital in December" tradition.

That's beautiful (first link) -- I want a hardbound edition with the two colored maps. The maps are so cool in the hardbound editions.

I still want to get the Alan Lee illustrated edition, with the blue dustjacket. I've drooled over my godfather's first editions enough to appreciate the idea of having multiple editions in stock, especially one with such nice extras like pictures and hardcover.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Have people seen this edition of the book?
The only thing keeping me from getting it is that I currently have a one volume edition of the trilogy, and I find it awkward to read. It's just too thick. I've been eying the Alan Lee illustrated three volume set. Nutty has a set, and it's gorgeous.
FWIW, I have the 50th Anniversary Edition of The Hobbit, which is a lovely thing.
