Holiday Traditions (with Free Recipe for Hot Onion Dip)

I’ve really enjoyed the fact that Thanksgiving was a little earlier this year. It allowed for some extra time in November to think about the things I needed to get done before Christmas rolls around. We have some family traditions that seem to happen every year when the Christmas holiday is held at our home. (We alternate holidays at our house, Thanksgiving one year and Christmas the next, so that all of our family can be together.) This is our year for Christmas, and we are really looking forward to it.

We enjoy playing games (well, the kids do), going to the park to see the Christmas light display, singing, visiting, and most definitely eating. One of our traditions has been to have finger-foods on one night for our dinner – usually Christmas Eve. We have several favorites, but one, in particular, has become a staple. I got the recipe several years ago from Leah’s sister, Heather, and I have made it over and over again for many gatherings. It is always a hit.

Since there are so many gatherings that some of you might be invited to that would involve bringing a finger food, I thought I would share the following recipe with you all. I’ve had it requested many times. It is so easy and out of this world good!!

Hot Onion Dip

16 ounces of softened cream cheese

1 medium onion – chopped

2 cups shredded parmesan cheese

½ cup mayonnaise

Mix well and place in an oven-proof dish.  Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Serve with crackers, Frito Scoops, or any other favorite “scooper.”

[May be served cold, but it isn’t as good]

I hope you enjoy it and that you have lots of opportunities to gather with friends and family and begin your own traditions!
