"Christmas Comes but Once a Year" is a book by John Leighton, known for its significant contribution to literature and its value to future generations of scholars and academicians. Published under the pseudonym Luke Limner, this work by Leighton was released in 1850. The story is a humorous portrayal of the events and situations that unfold around Christmas time in 19th-century England, capturing the essence and spirit of the Victorian era.The narrative revolves around several characters, including John Brown's family, described as suburban snobs; Captain Bonaventure de Camp and his equally distasteful family; and Soavo Spohf, the organist of St. Stiff the Martyr, who is talented musically but lacks in appearance and love life. These characters and their interactions paint a vivid picture of the societal norms and quirks of the time.This book offers a glimpse into the Victorian Christmas celebrations, family dynamics, and the social satire prevalent in that era, making it a valuable and entertaining read for those interested in historical fiction and cultural studies of the Victorian period.
