And yet, the temptation to answer is overwhelming, if only because the answer is so obvious to everyone except the people inhabiting this insipid Christmas novel. So, why would two otherwise sensible adults skip Skipping Christmas and go on a cruise? Maybe they are Jewish. Or Muslim. Or Hindus. Or maybe they live in a cold latitude, where the idea of a peaceful cruise in a tropical locale is actually freaking awesome. There are literally billions of people on Earth who do not celebrate Christmas. Thus, there are literally billions of answers to that stupid query. Skipping Christmas takes place in a white, upper Skipping Christmas class suburb where such things are barely mentioned. There was once a Pakistani couple in the neighborhood, we are informed, but they moved very quickly. By the end of this nasty little work, you will understand why.

This is a novel that celebrates intolerance. Vic soon has the neighbors rise up against Luther and Nora. People Skipping Christmas on his lawn and post signs. Skipping Christmas satire, this might have worked. The latent fascism of the neighbors is ripe for parody. Skipping Christmas I read this, I kept Skipping Christmas about the Christmas bullies who demand stores and cashiers say Merry Christmasas though forcing some minimum-wager at Wal-Mart to utter bland holiday greetings in the checkout line is somehow actualizing. Just about everyone in Skipping Christmas is a low-grade monster. Luther, despite his utterly logical plan, is also a raging asshole.
