Wellesley holiday house decorating contest: “Most people are in disbelief this is actually a real thing”

The Wellesley Recreation Department has doled out awards for this year’s holiday house decorating contest, and Wellesley Public Media has captured the sights and sounds on video. As Rec’s Brandon Fitts says, people are ecstatic when they find out they’ve won and “most people are in disbelief this is actually a real thing.”

But as they say at this time of year, you’ve got to believe.

(Winning homes are at 7 Evergreen Ave., 125 Pilgrim Rd., 514 Washington St., 9 Eisenhower Circle & 8 Beverly Rd.)
