Das amerikanische Ehepaar Luther und Nora muss einen regelrechten Spießrutenlauf überstehen, als es beschließt, mit den gesellschaftlichen Konventionen ihres kleinen Dorfes zu brechen und Weihnachten auf eine besondere Weise zu begehen. Bis zum Morgen des 24. Dezember halten sie durch, doch dann wirft ihre Tochter Blair alle Vorsätze über den Haufen . . .
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this classic tale for modern times, beloved storyteller John Grisham offers a hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that have become part of our holiday tradition.

The inspiration for the film Christmas with the Kranks, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis

Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That s just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they ll skip the holiday altogether.

Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty, they won t be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash, they aren t even going to have a tree. They won t need one, because come December 25 they re setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences and isn t half as easy as they d imagined.
