Deck the House Contest: 2 L.A. Houses Are Finalists. Vote!

Who has the best “decked” house in the Los Angeles area, indeed the whole country?

According to users who voted in our annual Deck the House contest, Mike Ziemkowski's house in Sherman Oaks and Wendy Wells' home in Chatsworth have some of the best holiday lights. (You can see more about Ziemkowski's display on Sherman Oaks Patch: Must-See House Lights Up in Sherman Oaks

We 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 will choose 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 beginning Dec. 18. On Dec. 29, we’ll announce the grand prize winner of our Deck the House contest.

So, now’s your chance to tell us who has the best “decked” house, not only in Los Angeles but in the country. Let us know by voting for your favorite beginning Dec. 18.
