Consider a year without the holiday. No jam-packed stores, tacky workplace get-togethers, fruitcakes, or unwelcome gifts. When Luther and Nora Krank choose to forego the holiday entirely for this one time, that's just what they have in mind. Theirs will be the only home without a rooftop on the block. They're not even going to have a tree; they're not even going to have their yearly Christmas Eve party, Frosty the snowman. They're going to be on a Caribbean cruise starting on December 25, so they won't need one. However, as this exhausted couple is about to learn, missing Christmas has much more repercussions than they had anticipated and isn't as simple as they had thought.
Skipping Christmas is a timeless story that humorously examines the mayhem and craziness that have crept into our holiday customs.
