Check Out the Best “Decked” House in Reading and North Reading

Who has the best “decked” house in Reading or North Reading? 

According to users who voted in our annual Deck the House contest, this home submitted by Leane Scott has the best holiday lights in Reading and North Reading.

"We are so excited to win! Thank you!," Scott said. "It took my husband two days to get all the lights up, including several trips back to Walmart to put more... lol! We decorate every year and have lived in North Reading for 15 years. About three to four years ago, we added a second floor onto our house and it became a must to get to the rooftops! My youngest son, Derek age five, holds a laundry basket at the bottom of the ladder in case dad falls so he can 'catch' him in the basket. Winning this will certainly inspire more lights next year!"

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 24 finalists from all our entries across the country. From Dec. 18- Dec. 27, 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. 28, 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 in the country. Let us know by voting for your favorite beginning Dec. 18.
