 "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.
