Skipping Christmas! by John Grisham

Hi All,

It's the time of the year everyone of us will start preparing for the holidays, celebrations, shoppings, travel (to meet family members) and of course good food. I didn't plan to go to library this weekend. I am not a frequent visitor and finally decided to head for the Library to beat the boredom. Accidentally I came across this book of John Grisham my favorite author named "Skipping Chrismas". As expected it is one of the few Grisham books which isn't meant for Legal thriller lovers.

This story is about Luthor Kranks and his Wife decided to skip celebrating this christmas. Being a accountant in profession, Kranks is not happy with holiday bills and against the costly Christmas celebrations. The main reason behind skipping the christmas, their daughter is traveling abroad to Peru for a assignment. Kranks convinced his wife to go for a cruise by saving the money they usually spend on christmas expenses. Despite every house in his neighborhood is decorated for christmas and filled with celebrations, Luther Kranks decided to skip all these usual holiday chores this Christmas. Suddenly Krank's daughter is showing up for Christmas and bringing home her future groom from Peru surprising her parents, on the very last moment when Kranks and his wife are about to start for carribean cruise (the final day evening before Christmas). Kranks and his wife hurriedly preparing their home for their daughter arrival, Christmas party and to celebrate Christmas with their daughter & Future son in law.

Hilarious and nice read for the holiday!! See you all..
