PHOTOS: Burr Ridge Homes Decked for the Holidays

Around Burr Ridge, homes are decorated for the season. On Glenmora, one lovely home has wrapped its columns in red lights. A home off 87th Street has red and green lights casting a cheery glow on its facade and several of the photos in this gallery are from a home that faces County Line Road. The property for this home is so large that it is difficult to capture all its decorations in a single photo.

Do you have a terrific display that we missed? If so, you still have a chance to win $100,000 for one of Burr Ridge's public school districts and $500 toward your electric bill. But don't hesitate, because the deadline is Dec. 26.

Judging starts Dec. 27, and readers of "the Patch" will vote for the best decked home in Burr Ridge. You can read the official contest rules here.

Burr Ridge is unique in that parts of it lie within the , , , Lyons Township, and school districts. Nomatter which district is yours, all the districts could use $100,000 to give students more educational opportunities.

So what are you waiting for?  If your home is decorated already or you just need a good reason to do it, here's 100,000 good reasons. Deck your home, enter our deck your house contest and give one deserving school district one heck of a Christmas gift this year.
