Skipping Christmas by John Grisham was the PERFECT Christmas story for me! It was fun and refreshing. The general premise of the story is exactly something I could see my husband and me doing. Read it and learn a bit about our personalities!

If you’re looking for a Christmas story that is not a ‘sappy romance’ or a ‘Hallmark movie,’ pick this up! This story is hilarious. Hilariously ironic and thought provoking. What is Christmas all about, really? I laughed, I cried (i.e. I cried from laughing), I was touched, and ultimately just felt happy reading this gem.

The writing has an excellent tempo and reads very quickly; it’s also a short read just under 200 pages. For a quick, lighthearted, and Christmas filled fun story, please read Skipping Christmas!

Having never read a Grisham novel before, this has to be the best introduction to his books!

On a sentimental note, this story made me realize how important it is to us adults to make Christmas special for children - it’s all about the kiddos! Am I right?! What’s Christmas spirit without a whole lot of childhood magic!
