Want a surefire way to get you in the mood for Christmas, while escaping the madness of it all? Try reading John Grisham’s book, “Skipping Christmas”. It’s a hilarious look at some of the absurdities we all experience during the hectic holiday season. Every Christmas season this book takes me away from it all- and I laugh out loud in the meantime (which is a rarity when I read).

If you’ve read other books by Grisham, you will surely find “Skipping Christmas” to be different. It’s the story of Luther and Nora Krank, a couple who decide to skip all the Christmas hoopla and instead take their money and go on a cruise. But their friends and family don’t let them get away with it too easily.

Oh, the movie version of this book, called “Christmas With the Kranks” doesn’t have anywhere near the charm of the  book.  Skip the movie and just read the book.
