Skipping Christmas

Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That`s just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they`ll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty; 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 25 they`re setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But as this 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 have become part of our holiday tradition. Формат издания: 10,5 см х 17,5 см.
