Patch takes you on a tour of Dearborn's best lights.

Our Deck the House finalist is on the list, too, so after you see their awesome display, be sure to vote for their house to win $100,000 for Dearborn Public Schools! The owners of these homes will be honored during a ceremony in January, but to catch their lights and cheerful displays you will need to see them before then.

And if you go out for a drive to see them, add a photo if you spot any great light displays around …
