Edited by Sir Francis Burnand, this volume features a collection of cartoons, poems, and short sketches that reflect the cultural attitudes and social issues of the period, making it a noteworthy example of Victorian satire.

The lively dialogue between characters such as Paterfamilias and Materfamilias highlights the often humorous yet absurd customs surrounding Christmas greetings and card sending.
