Christmas Comes But Once a Year proverb
It can be used as an excuse to overspend on food and consume too much of it.
This phrase emphasize that Christmas takes place once a year time, so you should grab this chance to indulge yourself and be good to others.
A: I'm going to volunteer at the orphanage center, do you want to join a hand? B: Of course, Christmas comes but once a year.
A: You are overweight dad, so I think you should eat less cakes. B: No way, son. Christmas comes but once a year.
On Christmas day, I will binge watch all night as Christmas comes but once a year.
It's possible that the proverb comes from a 1936 animated short film of the same name. The film takes place on Christmas Day at an orphanage. The orphans are ecstatic to get their hands on their new toys, only to discover that they are broken and abused. Seeing their anguish, Professor Grampy decides to make some new toys out of different household objects. He disguises himself as Santa Claus and runs to deliver the orphans' new gifts. He also fashions a Christmas tree from a set of old green umbrellas. The orphans are overjoyed at the unexpected gift. The film's overarching message is that helping those who are less fortunate during the holidays doesn't have to be difficult. All that is needed is a little effort and compassion.
