O. Henry
The Gift of the Magi is a treasured short story written by O. Henry. A young and very much in love couple can barely afford their one-room apartment, let alone the extra expense of getting Christmas presents for one another. But each is determined to show their love for the other in this traditional time of giving; each sells a thing they hold most dear in order to afford a present, with poignant and touching results that capture their love for one another.

"Personally wasn’t really interested in these short stories. Might be interesting for some. Well written just not my type."
Kiki Clay
"It’s only fitting to end a very challenging year with one of the most beautiful seasonal stories of all time. I’ve never read the original story (though I’ve of course heard the tale over the years), so I’m so glad I was able to read this as the year comes to a close and a new one begins. Here’s to a wonderful new year and health and happiness for all!"

"A short read to start off the year. It is a cute story with a nice lesson. Definitely a good way to start the year."
Meghan Ward
"Usually read and referenced for the principle of irony, but that misses the point of unselfishness. We can all take a moment to remember that!"
