Book Description:
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.

I'm not usually into John Grisham books, but I loved this. It was so cleverly written and funny...I couldn't put it down.

Loved this book. Not Grishams usual fare, but it was funny and shows how foolish we can be at times about Christmas. ( Christmas at the Kranks is about this book.) I could see it taking place in my neighborhood!!

IT is a fast read. Tightly written. A rare book that actually makes you laugh out loud; with a positive resolution.

Quite an interesting book, easy to read, funny, and keeps you guessing.
Rachel T. (I got this book right before Christmas and finished it in about 4 days. It was a very easy read and the movie is VERY close to the book. Very fun and cute read.
Carolyn N. (A sweet little book telling the tale of a year without Christmas. A classic tale for modern times.
Great little read about "doing" Christmas for the sake of family. This is the book that the movie Christmas With The Kranks was based on.
An enjoyable (and often comical) story that appeals to the Scrooge in each of us.
Very humourous and entertaining book! A rib-tickler with a surprise ending.
Linda P. (
Cheryl K. (A fun book to read during the rush of getting ready for Christmas.
