The Biennial WAFFLE EXTRAVAGANZA

We always found New Year’s Eve with kids to be a bit of a bust: we could never stay out until midnight and then the kids would be up early the next morning. So….we decided to flip the script and invite people over for waffles on New Year’s Day morning. Kind of like an old-fashioned levy.

It turned out that we were not the only ones in the same situation. Lots of folks showed up. I mean, who doesn’t like waffles? We obviously needed to do this again. But to keep it special, we decided to only hold it it every other year.

Hence was born, the Biennial Waffle Extravaganza. But such an important-sounded event clearly needed some propaganda to keep up the hype, so I started photoshopping posters and posting them on Facebook throughout December. This obviously worked because we consistently had over 90 people show up every other year.

But yeah, COVID broke up the rhythm and we’ve never resumed this tradition. Maybe one year. Watch this space.
