Waffle day

                I just finished another wonderful International Waffle Day celebration. I love this holiday, I have been celebrating it for years and it gets better and better each time.  For those of you who are unaware what International Waffle Day is it’s a personal family holiday that was created back when I was 14 years old and we have been celebrating it ever since. 

                There is a story behind it too and for those who are unfamiliar with it; it all started when I was 14 years old I was really craving waffles and so on the way home I told my mom that it was waffle day. That of course was a lie, but I was really hungry and waffles sounded so delicious. My mother was pretty gullible about it and believed every word; she agreed to make us the best waffles ever in celebration. They were amazing and we even had ice cream with them!

                The story continues on a couple years later when I finally told my mother that waffle day was a lie, and that I had made the whole thing up. I thought she would be upset, but my mom just laughed about it and we have continued it ever since. 

                It’s just one of those fun family traditions that have continued almost a decade now. It has evolved into a huge celebration actually where we gorge ourselves on waffles, ice cream and a whole bunch of wonderful toppings. I love it, and I have a little claim to fame by creating a very random holiday. If you ask me its things like that which make life truly livable, life is too short to take it seriously. Sometime you have to be willing to celebrate the fun in life. For me things like waffle day are an absolute necessity.
