Features: The Bible records that the Three Wise Men brought gifts to the Holy Child born in the manger, establishing the tradition of giving Christmas gifts. In the story "The Gift of the Magi," the poor couple, Della and Jim, couldn't afford gifts for each other. Della decided to sell her long hair to buy a chain for Jim's watch; unexpectedly, Jim sold his gold watch to buy Della a set of exquisite combs, resulting in two useless Christmas gifts. Were they foolish? No, O. Henry said they were clever. The Christmas gifts they chose with all their hearts shone with precious and eternal light on that year's Christmas.
