Chip cookies in her teens for when they often hosted Christmas extended family get together. And she's often still does it like for 3 decades or so! So that's a treat!

Otoh if we occasionally had New Year's Eve with our extended family my mom, and I would do the dips! ?Hormel's chicken something into cream cheese, their (yum) deviled ham in cream cheese (eventually mom mixed half cream cheese and yogurt), ?Knorr's Onion Soup mix into cream cheese (more yum), we had crackers, a cousin brought a big pan of cut veggies for the dips, posdibly store bought, or home made Greek cookies, and maybe a few more things. 🥰
