Good morning, Naperville.

Naperville residents can enjoy the festive Believe House map this Christmas season — a curated guide featuring over 100 decorated homes in town and 15 in nearby cities, assembled by Deborah Nilles and Kevin Knoth to spread holiday cheer.

Naperville residents can recycle dry evergreen trees for free on garbage and recycling days during the first two weeks of January; the Morton Arboretum advises disposing soon as trees show dryness and suggests cutting trees over 8 feet in half (alternatively, use branches in gardens or backyards).

A new aggressive flu strain known as subclade K is causing a severe flu season with tougher symptoms and local health experts say that getting a flu shot still protects against serious illness.

Medical providers advise Naperville residents to get vaccinated soon as the strain continues to affect many across the country.
