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...
A modern Christmas classic, Skipping Christmas is a charming and hilarious look at the mayhem and madness that have become ingrained in our holiday tradition.

評分Very easy to read.
評分非常輕鬆的作品,和作者其它的小說不是一個風格,不過絕對值得一讀。後來好像排成電影瞭。
評分筆墨輕鬆,適閤英語學習和趣味閱讀。會想象自己能不能不過年齣去玩,答案是無論如何也做不到,中國人文化裏就不允許拋下親人齣去自己浪。。現在也有挺多年輕人是醬紫的,挺佩服的。當然前提是你得有錢。。。 刷完瞭,平均一頁好像一個生詞。。不得不說,結局一點都不意外,我期待的是他們旅遊瞭。。
