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.
