the most shocking Christmas book

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham has to be the craziest, most thought provoking, and insane Christmas book I have ever read. It's short. It's not a legal thriller or a "call to reform the justice system" as many of his books are. It's simply about what happens when a modern American family who celebrates Christmas in the traditional American way decides to skip Christmas. Literally.

Like anyone who's ever seen a show on hoarding suddenly decides to clean house, this book will totally flabbergast you into evaluating what you do that is and isn't important about the holidays.

a blow-up Frosty for your roof, anyone? :)

I love this book! Have read it a couple of times AND seen the movie (which is well-acted and hilarious). Makes me SO GLAD I don't live in a neighborhood like that- we are such grinches when it comes to outdoor decor. I don't know that I'd rather take a cruise than be home for the hoildays,though!!
