The winner of the Best Decorated Christmas Home has been announced...

When AJ McKee knew she wouldn't be home for Christmas she decided to go all out and decorate her mums home and the result is an award winner.
We had so many entries to the competition on email, Twitter and Facebook and as you can see there were some pretty amazing ones in there.
The price is a seven-night family break for up to six people in a four star Dream Ireland Holiday Home on a self-catering basis - see all the original competition details below.
One view of AJ's video and we think you'll agree that she really did create a spectacular decorated Christmas Irish home.
