Practically everyone living near was invited.
Everything belongs to JRR Tolkien. I'm just playing with his wonderful ideas.
First Yule
The folk of Hobbiton had dressed Farmer Cotton's barn in every scrap greenery they could find. Pantries had been emptied to fill the lines of trestle tables, dressed with bright cloths and best china, and Gaffer Gamgee took charge of the dispensing from several kegs of ale.
There was still much work to be done cleaning up the Shire but on this Yuletide everyone had downed tools to celebrate the return to life. All were invited, regardless of previous allegiances, for now was the time of healing.
A cheer went up as Mayor Baggins touched Yule Flame to the bonfire.
