Skipping Christmas by John Grisham<br />
Did you know that John Grisham, the master of the legal thriller, has written a Christmas story? In<br />
Skipping Christmas, Luther and Nora Krank’s daughter has gone off to Peru to volunteer. It will be the first<br />
Christmas she has been away from home. The Kranks decide they will skip Christmas, no lights, no tree, no<br />
gifts and no parties. Instead, they will go on a Caribbean cruise.<br />
Who hasn’t fleetingly thought of escaping the busy holiday season for a lovely vacation. But, to actually<br />
do this, leads to all kinds of complications. Skipping Christmas is a light hearted look at what happens<br />
when you go against the social norms at this time of year.<br />
The library also has a Christmas story by David Baldacci called the Christmas Train. We have other<br />
Christmas themed books written by James Patterson, Debbie Macomber, Fern Michaels, Susan Mallery and<br />
Anita Hughes. Take a look at our collection if you would like to get into the holiday spirit with a good<br />
book.<br />
Many of our patrons also enjoy doing puzzles, so we have created a Christmas puzzle for you.<br />
The following 3 lines are from well known Christmas carols. We hope you enjoy trying to figure out<br />
which ones they are from.<br />
“Glories stream from heaven afar,”<br />
“Later on, we’ll conspire,”<br />
“There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,”<br />
The answers can be found on page 38.<br />
