It's a time where we all come together, regardless of what's going on in our lives – even if that means associating with extended family you'd prefer to keep at arm's length, like the Sackville-Bagginses, to whom you'd wish to say "No, thank you! We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers or distant relations!". Jokes aside, Christmas at its core is literally a time for fellowship.
Christmas is a time for family and fellowship In this household, we love and respect Bill. Follow that up with the Little Drummer Boy as whichever goblin started the drums of war, and that's practically a whole Christmas carol setlist.Īt a stretch, We Three Kings could definitely vibe with the rings of power given to the elves and held by Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf: "Three were given to the Elves immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings."Īnd look, I know this one's a huge leap but Little Donkey could potentially be applied to Samwise's loyal pony Bill, who kept trudging the whole way up a snow-covered mountain before he was forced to turn back at the mines. Silent Night? The moments juuuust before Pippin knocks a great honkin' skeleton down a hole. If you want to sit there and tell me that Baby It's Cold Outside doesn't work for the Fellowship shivering their souls out at the door to Moria, just try. You can (almost) apply Christmas carols to major events in the film It's also worth noting that J.R.R Tolkien was also a devout Christian, so the choice of that particular date would not have gone unnoticed by him. Let me say this one more time: The Fellowship - including grey firework Santa and eight dashing, prancing companions - left a city of elves (who were hard at work building a fancy new toy sword for Aragorn) to traverse their world and bring peace to Middle Earth, ON CHRISTMAS DAY. While not explicitly mentioned in the films, the source material confirms that it was Christmas Day, December 25th, when the Fellowship first departed from Rivendell on their journey to destroy the ring. What, you thought that just because we're in Middle Earth and our earthly equivalent of Santa Claus romps around in grey robes, sending off fireworks and encouraging bad hobbit behavior, that Christmas Day wasn't technically in Lord of the Rings? Think again. Here are my top three reasons it absolutely does. Now, I have faced scrutiny over this take in the past, particularly over whether or not Lord of the Rings even COUNTS as a Christmas film.
