    Enjoying the checkout lines and parking space searches during the holidays? Loving the 4,321st rendition of Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" while waiting your turn in the dentist's chair? Struggling over how much to tip your mailcarrier, doorman, handyman, driveway snowplower/lawnman, hairdresser, deliveryperson, housekeeper, and/or papercarrier? Looking forward to the, gulp, January bill delivery?

    If Christmas is getting you down, you need an rx to read John Grisham's Skipping Christmas. He sympathizes with our holiday blues and humorously reminds us that we can actually face the holidays gracefully when we allow ourselves to think it through. You'll see yourself in this fun and easy read, guaranteed.

Excerpts
Skipping Christmas, by John Grisham
He fumed and muttered other unpleasantries. He switched the heater vents to the floorboard to thaw his feet, then watched the large people come and go at the burger place. Traffic was stalled on the streets beyond.

How nice it would be to avoid Christmas, he began to think. A snap of the fingers and it's January 2. No tree, no shopping, no meaningless gifts, no tipping, no clutter and wrappings, no traffic and crowds, no fruitcakes, no liquor and hams that no one needed, no 'Rudolph' and 'Frosty,' no office party, no wasted money. His list grew long. He huddled over the wheel, smiling now, waiting for heat down below, dreaming pleasantly of escape.
