'Skipping Christmas' is a short novel by John Grisham, an author widely popular for his legal thriller books. This one is rather a comedy though.

The story focuses on Luther and Nora Krank, a husband and wife, who, after their daughter leaves for Peru for a year, decide not to celebrate Christmas this year. They calculate the costs it take and considering all the hassle around organizing a nice holiday, opt out to spend money on a 10 day Caribbean cruise instead. How will story unfold, and whether things will go as planned - you will have to read the book to find out. 

This is really nice, light reading, perfect for upcoming holiday season. Trust me, you will laugh, and you will enjoy every minute of reading this fantastic novel. Well, at least I did. 

Anyway, I want to wish you happy holidays, whether is Christmas or some other holiday(s) you are celebrating. Spend some quality time with friends or family, and just enjoy. Also, if you'd like some other book recommendations, just leave a comment.

Lots of festive love,
