It's the last day for AnnArbor.com's 'Deck the House' home decorating contest

‘Tis the season for inflatable snowmen, dolled up pine trees and rooftops lined with glowing, mechanical reindeer! Do you or your neighbors decorate for the holiday season? If so, send us a photo and enter AnnArbor.com’s “Deck the House” holiday decorating contest.

Through Dec. 20, we’ll post the photos in our online Home & Garden section at AnnArbor.com/Home-Garden. During the week of Dec. 21, log in to AnnArbor.com and cast your vote for the house you think is decorated the best. The winner will be featured in a photo and story that will run online and in the Sunday print edition of AnnArbor.com. Email your photos to community@annarbor.com. Be sure to include the homeowner’s name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.

If you don't have a photo to share but know where a nicely decorated home is, let us know. Our lead blogger Edward Vielmetti is compiling a map showing where some of the most well-decorated homes in our area are, so you can drive around and take a look.

Stephen J. Schewe decorates his 1903 house at 428 Spring with a simple system of roping, lights, bows, and a wreath for 20 years. "Coming home at 5:30 in December, it is dark... so I feel that adding a few bright lights and cheeriness help neighbors feel uplifted on their walks," Schewe wrote in an e-mail.
