| | What is today? |
 | | Most programs that try to answer this question limit themselves to offering the very first answer that I gave - the representation of the date in the Gregorian Calendar, which is what most of you are already familiar with. | | | This becomes even more evident when you start dealing with calendars that are rooted in culture and religion to the degree that, for example, the Hebrew and Islamic calendars are, and to perhaps a lesser degree, the B'Hai calendar. | | | However it is also Sweetmorn, the 73rd day of Discord in the YOLD 3167 (Discordian calendar). |

| | 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). | | | The calendars of both the Shire and our own Christian Europe make this compromise; though for our European ancestors the Spring equinox, the beginning of their year, was the focus of concern rather than the Summer solstice. | | | The calendar used in the Shire included twelve equal months of thirty days each, plus a festival at each solstice: the two days of Yule around new-year's night, and the two summer-days of Lithe before and after the midyear feast-day upon the summer solstice. |

| | Shire Calendar |
| | This calendar, or "Shire Reckoning" as it was called, was eventually adopted also in Bree, except for the Shire usage of counting as Year 1 the year of the colonization of the Shire. | | | The Calendar in the Shire differed in several features from ours. | | | In the westlands of Eriador, when they had begun to settle down, they adopted the King's reckoning of the Dunedain, which was ultimately of Eldarin origin; but the Hobbits of the Shire introduced several minor alterations. |

| | In the New Reckoning developed in Gondor in the Fourth Age, April became the first month of the year, but the Hobbits did not adopt the new calendar and thus it remained the fourth month in Shire Reckoning. | | | This land was called the Shire and it became the permanent homeland of the Hobbits for the rest of the Third Age and beyond. | | | The name refers to the filling or completion of the year, though in Bree it was a joke to equate "filth" with the muddy conditions in the Shire during the month of Winterfilth. |
