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.
