A wonderful Christmas classic -- yes, the book is better than the movie -- it is simply delightful. A John Grisham that is timeless!

Need something to listen to during the rush before the holidays? This book is almost twenty years old, but there are some timeless dilemmas that are addressed. There are lots of 'good' traditions we add into our routines for any type of celebrations. As more and more get added over the years, all the things on the 'to do' list can become a crushing burden. The first instinct may be to throw off that yoke entirely as Luther Krank tries to do. What he and wife Nora discover is how intricately those traditions are ties to family, friends, and community. With the COVID concerns this year, it could be an optimal time to determine which activities should endure and remain on the list. For some it may be a good time to leave them behind. Some of you may not realize that this book was the inspiration for the film 'Christmas With the Kranks.' If you ask me, though, the book is better.

Man, this was exactly like the movie Christmas with the Franks BUT with a lot more background information.

Skipping Christmas was a really fun holiday book to dive into. It was a lot of fun to learn more about Luther and Nora has a couple. Yes, they loved Blair but these folks just wanted a break from Christmas. Okay, it was mostly Luther but he can easily persuade his wife. Unfortunately, for him, not everything goes as planned.

All Luther wanted was to go on a cruise for the holidays. Never been on one so it seemed like the best time ever since his only daughter was out of the country. Nora wasn't all in on the idea but he's the love of her life - so it was going to happen. Of course she was still upset and sad about not being with her daughter for the holidays.. but it was bound to happen anyways.

Things are sort of going great back home for Blair's folks. Although the neighborhood is a bit salty about Luther not putting up good ole' Frosty. Little does Luther know that his plans are going to get cancelled. Blair ends up surprising her parents by coming back home. I guess she sort of missed them but I was honestly a little peeved that it was so last minute. Yeah, she didn't think her parents wouldn't do their own thing for the holidays - but damn, they are al in a pickle now.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It honestly made me really want to watch the movie.. which might happen this weekend. Who knows? I love Christmas movies and can't wait to start binging all of them!
