Skipping Christmas / John Grisham / 177 pages / Winter Holiday Themed Book

For the first time in 23 years, Luther and Nora Crank will be celebrating Christmas without their daughter Blair.  At 23, she has finished her master's degree and signed on for a stint in the Peace Corps in Peru.  Luther suggests that they skip Christmas this year.  They won't buy gifts, spend hours shopping for gifts and food, and avoid the aggravation of preparation.  Instead they will take a cruise to the Caribbean for 10 days.  It will cost $3000, saving them $3000 over the $6000 they spent last year for Christmas.  They had no idea how hard skipping Christmas would be.  This book is great, hilarious  holiday entertainment.
