Well Merry Christmas Everone From: Courtney
Haley

I really enjoyed this book. I don't get to read for pleasure very often because I am a college student, but this was great to read over Christmas break. It's a quick and easy read, but enjoyable-very cute!
Bobby P.

I dont like to read to much but thiss book changed that. I read the book for a report and it was so easy because the book was not to confusing and it was something I couldnt forget.
Marty Martin

I loved the book and probably part of the reason is that I also joined the Peace Corps and spent my first Christmas away from home in a foreign country. (I also met, fell in love and brought home a wonderful young man to marry, but that's another story.) I would have been shocked to come home, expecting the traditional Christmas only to find my parents leaving on a cruise. I loved Grisham's writing, I felt the discomfort of Luther's wet, cold feet, in the beginning right on through to the warmness of his ultimate gift to his neighbor.
Bobby P.

Skipping Christmas was a book I couldnt stop reading it at times and it always cracked me up.
Mari Anne

I truly enjoyed this easy read. I suppose I've always dreamed of skipping the comercial aspect of Christmas. That's probably why I got very disgusted when the Kranks decided to trash all their holiday plans for their daughter and I put the book away for the moment. However I couldn't resist the temptaion to see how things turned out. Maybe they could have handled things differently, but in the end it's family and friends that count.
Ann

Skipping Christmas was a delightful reprieve from a hectic day. It reinforced my belief that Christmas should be celebrated by everyone in one way or another. The celebration of life should never be given up.
Christina Bennett

Skipping Christmas is absolutly hilarious! I enjoyed this book so much I couln't help but read it again. The book really put me in the spirit of Christmas and I can't wait to enjoy all the hustle and bustle that the holiday season brings. It will make a wonderful stocking stuffer friends and family this year.
