Description

It's time to kick off the holiday season with wonderful friends, great discussion, and lots of laughs! We'll be reading and discussing Skipping Christmas by John Grisham. And to throw a fun little twist on the evening, after talk, we'll watch the movie Christmas with the Kranks (based on the book), then compare the book and movie. We'll have popcorn and bottled water for the movie, but feel free to bring snacks if you feel like it. "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. A classic tale for modern times, Skipping Christmas offers a hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that have become part of our holiday tradition."
