Luther and Nora Krank decide that, just this once, they'll skip Christmas altogether. Theirs will be the only house on the street without a rooftop Frosty the snowman; 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.

The good was the characters that he paints. Unluckily they are pretty unlikable characters. The bad is all the lies they are stupid enough to continue. Still the ending was a nice Christmas feel.

Das Buch ist mit seinen knapp 200 Seiten zwar ziemlich kurz, trotzdem hätten ihm vielleicht 50 Seiten weniger gut getan, da sich ab der Mitte viel wiederholt.
Die Geschichte ist sehr lustig und man erkennt sich selbst dann und wann sicher wieder. Weihnachten bedeuten eben manchmal auch leider Stress und dementsprechend schlechte Laune. Die Wendung am Ende war vorhersehbar, aber trotzdem nett.
Das Grundkonzept der Geschichte lässt natürlich wenig weihnachtliche Stimmung zu, ist für genervte Männer (und Frauen), die sich schon selbst gewünscht haben, Weihnachten einfach mal ausfallen zu lassen, bestimmt ein Spaß.
