Christmas is a time of tradition. What we did last year, we do this year. Or at least we do what we remember as being in the spirit of the season and not yucky (which is deep-sixed from memory). Try to stray from it and watch out. The noble season police pop out of woodwork and grind your guilt into a paste that absorbs any thought of changing family traditions. Just ask Luther Krank (Tim Allen) and his wife Nora (Jamie Lee Curtis) who decide to skip Christmas and go on a cruise since their daughter Blair (Julie Gonzalo) is heading off to Peru with the Peace Corps. Telling the neighbours proves to be a bit of a mistake. Vic Frohmeyer (Dan Aykroyd), the neighbourhood’s self-elected Christmas conscience is irate and starts up a group to harass the Kranks for their lack of holiday spirit, causing Luther and Nora to take refuge behind their curtains and sofa.
