Back Porch Theology Christmas Tour - Live

In 'Skipping Christmas,' Luther and Nora Krank decide to forgo their traditional Christmas celebrations when their daughter Blair is away. They plan a Caribbean cruise with the money they save, but their decision is met with shock and disapproval from their Christmas-obsessed neighbors. As the neighborhood prepares for its annual festivities, the Kranks face increasing pressure to conform. However, just before Christmas, Blair calls to announce she's coming home with her fiancé, throwing the Kranks into a frantic scramble to put together a last-minute Christmas celebration. The novel humorously explores themes of tradition, community, and the unexpected joys of the holiday season.
