Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this classic tale for modern times, beloved storyteller John Grisham offers a hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that have become part of our holiday tradition.
The inspiration for the film Christmas with the Kranks, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis
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.

1By NoraMaxI have read every novel Grisham has published. Each has been treasured as a masterpiece. Each rated five stars. This one does not have the flow of a Grisham novel. It's slow and not entertaining at all. I was very disappointed.Love it!!!
