Hello 
@purrix. I love how you decorated your tree with some novel items. Also, you start early in October purchasing your holida supplies. That's a good idea. The facade, I also feel, is the hardest to decorate. I like a single color also instead of numerous colored flashing rights.
Yes, the food can wait until later. Nice tips you shared.
Take care.
