Yes and yes.

Yes, that would be perfect. We used to host a Christmas eve open house every year and one neighbor always brought homemade cookies on a Christmas plate-not anything expensive-maybe plastic even, but festive. I always appreciated that and the cookies were always put out for the party!

What a great idea, definitely bring a small homemade treat, I'm sure it will be welcome.

Thank you so much everyone.

I think the homemade chocolates sound wonderful. I would put them in a pretty food-safe box, tie a lovely christmas ribbon around them. Then find one of the 'new home' ornaments from Hallmark, or a Christmas store in the local mall (even better if it can be personalized on the spot) and tie that in the center of the ribbon on the package.
