Check Out the Best 'Decked' House in Saucon Valley!

You voted and this Hellertown house was the top local vote-getter in our 2012 Deck the House contest.

Who has the best “decked” house in the Saucon Valley?

According to users who voted in our annual Deck the House contest, the Peteto home has the best holiday light display in Hellertown and Lower Saucon Township.

Lisa Peteto shared information about the distinctive Christmas tree decoration on the side of the house, and she explained why it's near and dear to her heart.

"My dad built this many, many, many years ago," she said in a comment posted to her entry. "It is proudly displayed every year. Those long-time Hellertownians know this house and look for the tree every year. Christmas just isn't the same without my dad, but this tree is a great reminder of him."

Nationwide we had tons of 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.
