Enter Patch's “Deck the House” Contest For a Chance to Win $100,000

Did you decorate your house for the holidays this year? Enter our "Deck the House" contest and you could win $100,000 for your local school district and $500 to pay your electric bills!

Bright and Merry: Map Offers Tour of Local Christmas Lights

Port Washington and Saukville are full of Christmas lights and decorations, and Patch has put together a guide to help you find some of the area's most unique decor.

Snow isn't the only scene-setter for Christmas — and thankfully so, considering there's none of it outside with only three more full nights until the morning arrives.
