Vote for Best 'Decked' House in America

Here are the 25 finalists in Patch's national Deck the House contest. A house in Dallas, GA, is a top vote getter. Voting continues through Dec. 28.

Patch had tons of national entries in this year’s Deck the House contest, and in our quest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in the country, we’ve seen everything from a life-size Santa to holiday lights so bright they could blind the neighbors. We loved showcasing everyone’s holiday spirit, but Deck the House isn’t over yet. We’re still looking for the one home so spectacularly decorated that it could be the national grand prize winner of our contest. We chose 25 finalists from all our entries across the country. From Dec. 18-Dec. 28, vote for your favorite and that person could win $100,000 for his or her local school district. All you have to do is visit this page to browse a gallery of the finalists and cast your vote …
