Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded shops, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That's just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they'll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on the street without a rooftop Frosty the snowman; they won't be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash; they aren't even going to have a tree. They won't need one, because come December 25 they're setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But, as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences - and isn't half as easy as they'd imagined.

When U.S. Marine Logan Thibault finds a photograph of a smiling young woman half-buried in the dirt during his third tour of duty in Iraq, his first instinct is to toss it aside. Instead, he brings it back to the base for someone to claim, but when no one does, he finds himself always carrying the photo in his pocket. Soon Thibault experiences a sudden streak of luck—winning poker games and even surviving deadly combat that kills two of his closest buddies. Only his best friend, Victor, seems to have an explanation for his good fortune: the photograph—his lucky charm.

GLAM GIRLS. YOU WILL LOVE US—WE PROMISE.

Jadi pintar itu gampang—belajar aja yang rajin. Jadi cantik lebih gampang lagi. Dengan semua servis ala Nip/Tuck yang ada sekarang, apa aja mungkin. Kekayaan? Well, hanya karena lahir di keluarga kaya raya sampai tujuh turunan, bukan berarti kamu lantas punya potensi sebagai pusat perhatian. You can buy Gucci, but you can’t buy style.

Kami nggak pernah pelit kok ngasih tahu rahasianya jadi terkenal. Kamu nggak boleh dijengkal, apalagi jadi orang yang gampang ditebak. Kalau ada yang bersikap buruk ke kamu, jangan takut. Kamu juga punya hak penuh buat balik nge-bitchy-in dia. Kamu juga harus berani tampil beda. Sesekali, nggak ada salahnya tampil kontroversial. Yang nggak masuk akal biasanya susah dilupakan.

Ribet? Emang! Siapa juga sih yang bilang jadi populer itu gampang?
