In this hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that have become part of our holiday tradition, a weary couple is about to discover skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences and isn't half as easy as they had imagined.

Review of 'Skipping Christmas' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The ending is nice enough and I read this one yearly because it's one of the less saccharin Christmas books available, but Luther Krank is generally unlikable and the whole tone of the book is far more "conform because Christmas is What We Do" and less "Christmas is a wonderful reminder to think of your fellow man". The focus seems to be on money rather than spirit.
