Front Street's quaint section of town conjures images of home-spun Christmas gatherings, roasted chestnuts and elves working busily in Santa's toy shop.

Dina's Barber Shop, 11014 Front St., invites shoppers to rest a bit on their outside benches.

The Christmas shopping season is underway, and Mokena businesses are decorated with displays to put you in the spirit. Take time to stroll along Mokena's quaint Front Street and check out the shops. Consider a gift certificate for a haircut at Mokena Barber, 11003 Front St., or bring the pooch to Nancy and Dee's Dog Grooming, 11009 Front St., for a bath before company comes.

Sweet Company, 19806 S. Wolf Rd., is a can't-miss shop. Owner Jeff Matson has mouth-watering candy delights arrayed in snowman tins, Santa Claus baskets, reindeer cups and more.

Too bad there aren't more stores in "downtown" Mokena. I wish there would be, how can the village go about bringing more business there?
