Luther and Nora Krank have sent their college graduate daughter Blair off to Peru with the Peace Corps, and have decided that they will not be " doing" Christmas this year. Instead, they are going on a cruise, set to leave Christmas day at noon.
The Kranks forgo decorations, a tree, gifts, charitable donations, even the annual christmas eve party. Everyone is shocked and disappointed.
Only the Kranks live in a very festive traditional neighborhood, and their neighbors revolt against this idea. Even sending notes and phone calls to free the 7 foot Frosty that normally adorns the top of the Krank house, like every other house on Hemlock street.
The Kranks have hilariously made it through to Christmas eve, when they get a phone call from Blair letting them know she is on her way home and expecting ALL the christmas traditions she is used to.
So now the Kranks are in overdrive to make everything perfect. In the end everyone comes together and Christmas spirit shines through.
Most commonly known by movie form " Christmas with Kranks".
