Where's Mokena?

Whoa, is it early. The things I do for you Christmas music lovers. I'm going to post this and go back to bed for another hour. Sometimes the cover of a record is just too good to pass up, especially if it's cheap in a thrift store. My collection is filled with such things and that's the pile this record came from. Isn't that a great cover? A lot of homemade greatness right there. I didn't realize until much later that the vinyl is a beautiful translucent green, adding to the goodness of this package. It may just be a bunch of kids singing, but it's still a great record for your collection. This is Christmas In Mokena (No Label WFC-763 Green Vinyl, Stereo, 1967). Great song selection here, too. Some things I don't think I've heard before. By the way, Mokena appears to be a small city in the Chicago exurbs, way southwest of town. Now you know.
