Skipping Christmas
Trade cloth edition in very good condition. Dust jacket. Stated first edition. Mylar cover included.
“And it’s just for one year. Let’s take a break. Blair’s not here. She’ll be back next year and we can jump back into the Christmas chaos, if that’s what you want. Come on, Nora, please. We skip Christmas, save the money, and go splash in the Caribbean for ten days.”
Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded shops, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That’s just what Luther and Nora Krak have in mind when they decide to just this once, they’ll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on the street without a rooftop Frosty the Snowman; 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 25th they’re setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But, as the 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 has become part of our holiday tradition.
