So we got to see the Hobbit after walking round Hobbitton almost a year ago. It was so cool seeing the party tree and Bag End having stood there during our NZ road trip.

The film then, a very very long “bum numa” with a lot of poetic license in places. This was only part one of three (methinks a cushion is called for next time), but it is no Lord of the Rings I’m sorry to say. It was a nice film but lacked the oomph that LoTR had.

Still Christmas Eve Eve.
