Skipping Christmas
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 hosing 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 bring enormous consequences — and it 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.
