Several years ago my friend Luke introduced me to the story that has become my holiday favorite, ”Gift of the Magi“, by O’Henry. This is a beautiful Christmas story about sacrifice and love. Once you’ve read it (10 minutes), I’d love to hear your comments.

This is a lovely story. I read it years ago in school, but it is a nice ten minute exercise in remembering some of the greatest aspects of the holiday season. Good post Jenn!
Thanks Jen. If you see Luke tell him I gave him a “Shout Out”. If you have his email will you send it to me?
Happy Holidays!
