| Christmas with the Kranks |
Several years ago the
movie Christmas with the Kranks, based on the book Skipping Christmas by John
Grisham, revealed a humorous look at the hectic activities of Christmas and all
that is involved in trying to keep up with the traditions and expectations of
other people. Luther and Nora Krank,
played by Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis, are a couple who usually spend
thousands of dollars on holiday decorations, cards, food, and parties. But this
year Luther wants things to be different. He breaks the news to Nora that they
are going to skip Christmas because their daughter, Brooke, is not coming home
for the holidays. He produces cruise tickets to replace the yearly decorating
frenzy.
