# Shire-reckoning

The Shire-reckoning is described in the appendix of *The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King*. It was the calendar used

by the Hobbits of the Shire in the Third Age. It consists of 12 months with 30 days each, plus 5-6 extra days: 1 & 2 Yule, 1 &

2 Lithe, Mid-year's Day and Overlithe (in leap years). The year starts on December 21, but has the same length as the Gregorian

calendar.

Using this script, you can know the current date in Shire-reckoning.
