We're closing out the holiday season with a movie about trying to avoid it altogether: Joe Roth's 2004 holiday comedy Christmas with the Kranks!

Join in as we discuss the surprisingly effective marriage between Luther (Tim Allen) and Nora (Jamie Lee Curtis), suburban paparazzi, a disgusting ham, and our least favorite decorating trends.

Plus: Why change the title from John Grisham's novel Skipping Christmas? Is Blair secretly a villain? Is this a propaganda film in the secular War on Christmas? And what makes this a quintessential We Love the Love movie?
