Luther and Nora Krank are tired of the annual Christmas frenzy. This year, they decide to skip the holiday altogether and take a Caribbean cruise instead. But their neighbors have other plans, determined to uphold their street's Christmas traditions - no matter the cost. As the Kranks' dream vacation unravels, they're forced to confront the true meaning of the season and the consequences of opting out. With Grisham's trademark wit and heart, Skipping Christmas is a delightfully subversive holiday romp that reminds us that sometimes the best gifts are the ones we least expect.
