Many years ago, two newlyweds wanted to get each other a gift for Christmas. But what? They were very poor and only had each other’s love. In spite of this the both secretly wished to give a gift and never said a word to each other about it.
What would they do? Could they make each other something? Could they save up all year to buy a gift? Neither of these ideas would work. They hardly had enough money for rent, bills, and food much less craft supplies.
it’s only August but it’s never to early to get that head start on your Christmas shopping.
In his poignant short story, O. Henry tells us one of the reasons for Christmas. It’s a big reason that many people seem to have forgotten.
I highly recommend “The Gift of the Magi” for your home library. This audio book, narrated by W.B. Ward, would make the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone in your family. I do realize that it’s only August but it’s never to early to get that head start on your Christmas shopping.
