Skipping Christmas, John Grisham, Doubleday.

John Grisham turns a satirical eye on the overblown ritual of the festive holiday season, and the result is Skipping Christmas, a modest but funny novel about the tyranny of December 25th. The author builds up a funny but increasingly terrifying picture of how tight-knit communities create and put pressure to conform. This novel is a funny poke at the craziness of Christmas.
