5. Listen To Christmas Music

Listening to Christmas music should be a given. You'll most likely be blasting some Christmas music via a streaming service, but don't forget we have a commercial-free and free Holiday Channel streaming right now on our app and website.

4. Check Out Christmas Lights In Neighborhoods

So many people in the Quad Cities put up Christmas lights and they would love for you to see them. Check out the map below of lights in neighborhoods worth checking out during Christmas weekend. I'm sure they'll get turned off in the next week or so which means hurry up and see them!

3. Track Santa Claus

You can also track Santa Claus on Christmas eve as he delivers presents throughout the world. NORAD is in charge of seeing where Santa is at all times and he is ready to take off this weekend.

2. Check Out Drive-thru Light Displays

Not only do neighborhoods have great Christmas light displays to see this weekend, but there are still plenty of drive-thru or park-and-watch Christmas light displays in the Quad Cities. The full list of those places is coming up after #1, but you can find that full list here, too.

1. Be Merry & Bright

Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, this Christmas weekend, every weekend, and every day, you can be merry and bright. Be happy, and spread kindness, hope, cheer, and love. It doesn't have to be the holiday season to do these things because we all could use this every single day.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Quad Cities!
