Book description
Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded shops, 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
the street without a rooftop Frosty the snowman; 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 has become part of our
holiday tradition.
