Luther and Nora Krank are fed up with the chaos of
Christmas. The endless shopping lists, the frenzied dashes
through the mall, the hassle of decorating the tree...
where has all the joy gone? This year, celebrating seems
like too much effort. With their only child off in Peru,
they decide that just this once, they'll skip the
holidays. They spend their Christmas budget on a Caribbean
cruise set to sail on December 25, and happily settle in
for a restful holiday season free of rooftop snowmen and
festive parties.
But the Kranks soon learn that their vacation from
Christmas isn't much of a vacation at all, and that
skipping the holidays has consequences they didn't bargain
for...
This book was recommended by several different people. After the third referral I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did ! The book is quirky fun. Sure it goes overboard with the amounts the characters spend on Christmas!(But) There is more to the story than the spending. Its about community,family and coming together and helping one another! A very enjoyable book to read! Happy Reading and Happy Holidays! P.S. You may also enjoy The movie addition Christmas with the Krank's! Stays true to the book.
