'Deck the House' This Holiday Season For a Chance to Win $100,000 For Schools

Patch is launching its annual Deck the House Contest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in America — the best “decked” house in the country. Could Concord be home to such a house? Well, we do have 'Mr. Christmas' here after all. It's a great start!

If your house, or a house in your neighborhood, is lit up to the max this season, upload a photo or video of the home to the 'Deck the House' contest page before Dec. 16.

Only residents of Patch towns are eligible to enter. Patch will select 24 regional finalists and from them pick one grand prize winner. Patch will pay up to $500 of the utility bill for each finalist, while our national winner will have $100,000 donated to his or her local school district.

Now’s the time to get your holiday decorations out of the attic and “deck” your house. Let's make your house famous and bring some money home for Concord schools.

If you need some decorating music while you adorn your home, here's a ridiculous video of pets singing "Deck the Halls." Enjoy!
