Although The Lord of the Rings is not a particularly Christmas-related series, there is something undeniably festive about it nonetheless. From the coziness of the hobbit holes to the inviting glow of the Eye of Sauron (it's kind of like the North Star, right?) to the fact it takes an entire holiday period to watch all the extended editions, it gives us plenty to get into the Christmas spirit about.
However, there is one thing that this series is even better at celebrating, and that is meme culture. The LOTR fandom is one of the most dedicated funny internet picture creators and consumers on the internet, no matter what time of year it happens to be. A few of the memes below may dip into seasonal themes, but the main focus is going to be the important quest of squeezing the most laughs possible out of the land of Middle-earth.
