Placing has nothing to do with it. I didn't even remember that they were holding a contest.
I do admit to getting a certain amount of satisfaction when the pres drives by slowly looking at the display then slams on her brakes when she sees the play house decked with lights. After a moment she took off much too quickly and left the street.
It was even more priceless when she was doing her annual "you've had your lights up too long" search (no, they can't make a rule about that either, but that doesn't stop her from mailing letters threatening to fine people) and realizes that I put up Valentine lights at the same time I took down the Christmas lights.
