Skipping Christmas

by John Grisham

With their daughter heading across the world, Luther and Nora Krank decide that Christmas just won’t be the same. In fact, after crunching some numbers, Luther discovers that last year they spent around $6000 on Christmas — more than enough to finance a holiday cruise. So he talks Nora into skipping Christmas. Skipping the presents, the tree, the decorations (even the obligatory neighborhood Frosty on the roof), the parties, the cookies, the dinners. Everything. Instead, they book a cruise to someplace warm that leaves Christmas day.

This was a fun, lighthearted book.
