unique holiday tradition

i wish i had a photo for this one. i really do. since i don't, however, let me just start by saying that what you're about to read is 100% factual. while i gave great thought to fabricating some ridiculous holiday tradition ... i've opted instead to reveal a tiny bit of my family's penchant for the strange and unordinary. i present to you: national tater tot day.

each february as families across america (and the maple leaf state) are pinning their hopes for spring's arrival on the skittishness of a groundhog, my family is carefully preparing tater tot treats. these tiny treats of tastiness sound simple enough: adorn the tots with melted chocolate, allow the chocolate to set up, enjoy. but the results are beyond spectacular. we make trays and trays of these babies. we've shared them at work, where every year we have found more people who have never heard of this holiday. it's become a personal mission of ours to spread awareness of national tater tot day and help these diced potato delicacies finally get the attention they deserve.

I want to believe you except when you say "we've shared them at work." Why have I never seen even a morsel of these "trays and trays"?

I LOVE National Tator Tot Day. I think that we need to revive the holiday... the library ladies are missing out on so much!

This is how they should have served tots in the old grade school café.
