A patron review from the Adult Summer Game: "This book is a humorous story about a couple that decided to forego the celebration of Christmas. Although they have concrete reasons for choosing not to observe the "Holidays", they find that their neighbours do not agree with their decision. In fact, Luther and Nora Krank live in a neighbourhood that is obsessive about the traditions and festivities of Christmas and the holiday season. Comedy ensues as they try to avoid these well-meaning but purposeful people. Ultimately, circumstances change and at the last moment the Kranks find themselves desperate to host their annual Christmas party. This creates numerous humorous scenarios and readers will laugh out loud! Deeper lessons about neighbourhood relations, acceptance, forgiveness, selfless giving and the true meaning of Christmas are presented in this story. I loved this book! Although out of season, novels that offer genuine laughter and a touching theme are timeless and can be enjoyed anytime."
