Title: An Uncommon Christmas Story
Review: Skipping Christmas is an entertaining look at the strain of the holiday season. Like A Painted House, it is a deviation from John Grisham's usual law-only plots. Skipping Christmas is a quick, light read. Many will be able to relate to Luther's frustration with the over-materialistic, non-stop hecticness that comes with Christmas.In Skipping Christmas, Luther convinces his wife Nora that with their only daughter away for the year that they should simply skip Christmas, take a year off from the chaos. The couple does not realize what an unpopular decision this will be. Friends and neighbors react with everything from quiet chagrin to out and out distain. The story has a few surprising plot twists, some entertaining, some frustrating with a nice storybook-type ending.
