ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham tells the story of Luther and Nora Krank, a couple who decide to boycott Christmas after their daughter leaves for a two-year mission in Peru. Tired of the holiday's commercialism and obligatory traditions, they plan to spend the money on a Caribbean cruise instead. However, their decision causes a stir in their neighborhood, and they face increasing pressure to conform. The story explores themes of conformity, consumerism, and community expectations. The Kranks’ attempts at isolation are completely thwarted when their daughter calls on Christmas Eve, announcing she is coming home, along with her fiancé, and expects a traditional celebration. This leads to a chaotic scramble to undo their decision to skip Christmas.
