Of course Hobbits are real . . . my family on my dad's side is filled with them. Dalpoggetto, does in fact mean something to the effect of, under the rolling hills. My dad, since he is only half hobbit, is rather tall, he gets that from his German mother. I'm guessing here, that James and I have a good shot at having hobbit children ourselves

I have hobbits in my family too!xinejaquetteMarch 7 2006, 10:22:39 UTC
My mother is 5'2" and my cousin/sister Amber only reached 4'11" in her 17th year. Mom has always joked about being a hobbit. We have always joked it came from Grandpa's side and the phillipine islands. This isn't far from the truth! According to the special I was watching, modern humans passed through the island of flores before spreading through the the south pacific. Both groups were variants on homo erectus. It is VERY possible my mother has a hobbit background!
As for fae....they do exist! My grandmother took care of a little man in her hospital once, and I mean little! He was about 2'6" and was in his 50s and joked that his mom was a fairy. Grandma said the oddest thing was he was completely in porportion! It was like taking care of a leprechan! His presence in the hospital startled a lot of the other patients who thought they were seeing things when he walked down the halls!

See, we are hobbit blood bound to be cheery friends! My hobbit lineage would explain my liking for food, and friends, and drink, and er, "special" brownies. I'm glad that I know somebody else who believes in these things.
I think there are far too many people out there who only accept 1)what they can see with their eyes or 2)what a book written by a bunch of women haters back in the day says. (I think you know what I'm referring to here) I don't know why if people can believe that the son of God walked the earth and performed miricles, and rose from the dead, can't believe in things like fairies and hobbits and spirits and ghosts of their relatives.
This also explains your strong desire to build a hobbit hole for a home. I think that I'm too far removed from my hobbit heritage to be comfortable underground though. We'll see. Once your HH is built and I visit, maybe it will feel more like home to me than I can explain. Now I'm real curious!

It would probably have to be giants and even trolls with me, although I'm wondering what sort of legendary folk are associated with the Choctaw/Chicksaw tribes on my father's mother's side. I do have a kind of wander-lust that hits be the day before a rain-storm. I've had it hit me on days when things were clear as a bell. I just get this desire to go on a long walk and can't sleep if I don't walk at least a mile. It never fails, the next day it rains.

I don't know about the Choctaw/Chicksaw tribes but I have heard about a tribe of Indians that seemed to have their own fairies when the Jesuits Priest found them in the 17th century......
Little People of the Passamaquoddy Indians - There are two kinds of Little People among the Passamaquoddy Indians, the Nagumwa-suck and Mekumwasuck. Both kinds are two and a half to three feet in height, and both are grotesquely ugly. The Passamaquoddy Indians, wholived close to the Canadian border, used to migrate to the ocean in the summer and move inland in the winter. When they moved, their fairies moved with them. The little People can only be seen by the Indians. They live in the woods and are fantastically and individually dressed. Their faces are covered with hair, which strikes an alien note to the Indians. Oral tradition has it that they were made of stone.
