| Summary | "Colonel Crockett's Co-operative Christmas" by Rupert Hughes is a humorous and heartwarming novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Colonel D. A. Crockett, who, feeling lonely while spending Christmas in New York away from his family, decides to organize a grand Christmas gathering at Madison Square Garden for all the other lonely souls in the city. This endeavor captures the essence of community and the festive spirit, showcasing the human desire for connection during the holiday season. The narrative follows Colonel Crockett as he grapples with his feelings of loneliness on Christmas eve in a bustling city filled with millions. After a particularly dismal first Christmas alone, he resolves to create a joyful event for others in similar situations. With a blend of determination and humor, he rents Madison Square Garden, inviting everyone to a free Christmas celebration filled with music, dancing, and refreshments. The dignified and lively event becomes a resounding success, allowing strangers to connect, reminisce, and share in the warmth of the holiday spirit. Through delightful anecdotes and rich character interactions, Hughes illustrates the importance of community and joy during the festive season, ultimately transforming loneliness into fellowship.
