Georgia Family Wins Patch's Deck the House Contest

The Felix family from Dallas, GA, received thousands of votes to win Patch's Deck the House contest and $100,000 for their local school district.

For this year's Deck the House contest winners, the second time was the charm. Joseph Felix's home in Dallas, GA outshined the other 24 finalists to win the 2012 Deck the House contest and $100,000 for the Paulding County, GA, school district. After placing second in the nationwide voting in the 2011 contest, the Felix home received nearly 11,000 votes this year to finally win Deck the House. The home, with 100,000 computer animated holiday lights choreographed to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You," received about 300 more votes than a home in Coventry, R.I., which finished in second place. No entries came from Richfield. Judging by the 80 comments on the Felixes' Deck the House submission, visiting the home has become a …

Check Out the Best 'Decked' Homes Throughout the Country

You voted and these houses were the top local vote-getters in our Deck the House contest.

Who has the best “decked” house in the U.S.? According to users who voted in our annual Deck the House contest, these 25 houses across all our 900 Patch towns have the best holiday lights. 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've chosen 25 finalists from all our entries across the country. Until Dec. 28, vote for …
