Strange as it may sound, Luther and Nora Krank, award-winning Christmas experts, are determined to do the unthinkable: skip Christmas and spend the money on a sun-kissed, 10-day Caribbean cruise. But this is easier said than done. As the community's sweet eccentrics turn their backs on Christmas, a last-minute phone call from their homesick daughter changes everything. And as if that weren't enough, the unexpected visitor has a surprise in tow. Now the clock is ticking--the Christmas rebels must face the music. Can the Kranks create Christmas out of thin air and save the day in a few hours? The film is based on John Grisham's book "Skipping Christmas". The original title is seen in the newspaper article after the tanning-salon incident.
