Let's face it, potatoes are amazing. They are a versatile food. You can have them mashed, cubed, fried, baked, baked twice, and so much more! And, now, thanks to Kristie Wolfe, you can now live in one.

Okay, not an actual potato, but a tiny house that looks exactly like a potato. A 28 by 12 foot long, and 11.5-foot tall potato. And it's amazing.

Originally, it was built as a way to promote a potato tour, yes that's a thing, by the Idaho Potato Commission's (IPC). The Big Idaho Potato tour is to help promote IPC's "Grown in Idaho" seal. This is a federal trademark to ensure buyers that when they purchase an Idaho potato, they are getting an authentic Idaho potato.

What makes Idaho potatoes so special? These potatoes are grown in rich, volcanic soil in a climate that is like no other in the United States.

At first, this potato went on tour with the Idaho Potato Tour only used as a way to store materials for the tour. Towards the end of the tour, Wolfe began coming up with ideas on what to do with the large fiberglass potato she was going to have on her hands once the tour was over.

At the time, she had a tiny home of her own and she had the realization that the spud actually had more square-footage than her own home. This is where she got the brilliant idea of making this once storage unit into a livable space for people to rest their heads. She knew of a lot where she could place the potato and she had the vision to make America's favorite comfort food into America's favorite comfort-stay.

Now, the potato resides in a field in Idaho where people can stay for only $200 a night with an addition $42 after taxes. The potato comes with one queen size bed and one bath. The potato also comes with air conditioning and a fireplace, so you can live inside of a baked potato if you wanted to.

However, your stay at this potato may root up your life because there is no wifi, tv, or kitchen. I mean, if you already took the step to reside inside of a potato, you should be willing to give up some luxuries and live the minimalist life for a day or two.

There have been no reviews of the tater so far, but the pictures of the inside of the Airbnb are promising for it looks comfortable and chic - the perfect atmosphere.

Airbnb has now revealed that this potato has become their most popular rental, in fact, the potato is booked for the month of May. But this is perfect for those who never knew they have always wanted to live inside of the potato, like yourself. Now, you have time to go plan and save for your best get-away for the summer.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
