Read on Kindle - Jo B's choice for our Christmas Book Club.
Luther and Nora Krank wave goodbye to Blair, their daughter and only child just after Thanksgiving. She is going abroad to work with the Peace Corps in Peru.
Luther realises that they will be on their own for Christmas for the first time in years. As an accountant he adds up what they spent on Christmas the year before, and is shocked at the result. He decides that this year he and Nora will skip Christmas.
The novel unfolds with the reactions of Luther and Nora's friends and neighbours to their decision not to participate in the madness of the holiday season.
I probably wouldn't have read this book, if it hadn't been a Book Club book, but I did enjoy it very much, especially the fun it pokes at those holiday traditions that simply get out of hand.
