Summary: "Christmas Comes but Once a Year" by John Leighton is a comedic narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows the life of Mr. John Brown, a prosperous citizen of London, as he navigates the festive chaos of the Christmas season alongside his family and various quirky neighbors. The tale captures the humorous mishaps and social absurdities typical of Victorian holiday celebrations. The opening of the book sets the scene during a bleak Christmas season, introducing the Browns—Mr. Brown, his wife, and their two daughters, among other notable characters like the pompous Captain de Camp. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the Christmas preparations, complete with whimsical details about the family's home, social aspirations, and interactions with their neighbors. Mr. Brown is characterized as a well-meaning but bumbling figure, attempting to fulfill both familial and social obligations as absurdity reigns around him. The fun-infused prose hints at delightful humor and a critical look at society's quirks during the festive period while laying the groundwork for a story filled with mishaps and endearing moments.
