<br/><br/> When their daughter Blair leaves for a Peace Corps stint in Peru, Luther and Nora Krank realize they will be alone for Christmas.  Suddenly, the holiday has become not the usual $6,100 nightmare, but the delightful dream of a 10-day Caribbean cruise. But not if their neighbors have anything to say about the Kranks' subversive scheme. When the tight-knit community besieges the Kranks, who cause them to lose the "best-decorated street" weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences--and isn't half as easy as they'd imagined"--Book description.
