    It's odd how many holidays cluster around that day. It's the Celtic Mabon, the fall equinox, so it's a major holiday for pagans. It's Frodo's and Bilbo's birthday, which has been a major celebration (in a fun way) for millions of people who find it a convenient excuse to throw a Happy Birbday, Bilbo Baggins birthday party. And now OWD too?

    I guess there's some dates that just feel resonant to us, even if we've forgotten why (Tolkien hadn't -- all the stuff in LOTR takes place on the Celtic calendar). It's a first harvest holiday, so I guess that works. The web is the first fruits of the 21st century!

    I've learned something new today too. I had never heard of One Web Day. The web (and Squidoo) has saved my sanity over the last couple of months, while I try to recover from a nasty condition. It is a great way to stay in touch with the world when you can't get out much - maybe I will make a video about it some time!

    Well, I can honestly say that I've learned something new today by visiting your lens on One Web Day! That happens to be the day after one of my sister's birthday. Cool lens.

    Welcome to the Festivals Around The World Group. What a great idea for a lens! I was completely unaware of this event.
