Skipping Christmas by John Grisham is a book about Luther and Nora Krank. Their daughter joins the Peace Corps and won't be home for Christmas this year. Luther looks at how much they normally spend during Christmas and decides they should skip this year and do something else instead. Throughout the book we see the reactions of all the friends, neighbors, and community members who can't believe anyone would want to skip Christmas.
Wesley told me he saw the movie Christmas with the Kranks and it is based off this movie. I haven't seen it yet. I picked the book because we are doing a holiday/winter themed book for book club. I had this one on the shelf and hadn't read it yet.
The book was ok. It was an interesting story and I agreed with Luther's general idea. I just feel the reactions of the other characters were a little far fetched. I don't think one family skipping Christmas would have that big of an impact on the rest of the neighborhood.
