Skipping Christmas

'Skipping Christmas' by John Grisham book coverI started this book while waiting for the installation of new tires on our car at Sam’s Club. The book's been around for a while, but I just received it as a gift. A delightful little diddy, Luther’s tale of excessive Christmas spending/celebrating and how wonderful his life would be without it, made me laugh outloud and gave me perma-grin for the whole book.

The stress of the holidays was especially appearant at Sam's, as I watched shoppers pile unreasonably large-sized boxes into their undersized blue plastic carts, while I was left comparing Luther’s ankle numbing puddle jumping with my own butt-numbing of a three-hour delay, and then another hour and a half wait for our tires to be installed. There was so much truth to Luther's crazy Christmas that I was mulling over - ever so briefly - that it would be cool to pull skipping christmas off. At a minimum, I convinced myself that Amazon will get more business from me than last year.

However, there was one issue that I couldn't get out of my head: Why isn't this a movie yet? It's set up to be the most cheesy Hallmark Hall of Fame story ever, so I thought I'd check. And lo and behold...It is!
