Skipping Christmas
By John Grisham
Released October 12, 2004
#1 New York Times Bestseller. Now a major motion picture. Christmas with the Kranks starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That’s just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they’ll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty; they won’t be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash; they aren’t even going to have a tree. They won’t need one, because come December 25 they’re setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But, as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences–and isn’t half as easy as they’d imagined.
A classic tale for modern times, Skipping Christmas offers a hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that have become part of our holiday tradition.

Giveaway: Through out the year I found holiday stories in used-book stores, library sales, yard sales and goodwill places to save to read when the season started. Now it’s the season of giving so I am giving away the copy I found. So it is USED but in good condition. If you want to enter to win I will announce winners after 25 Days of Christmas are over.
