This timeless short story tells of Jim and Della, a young and impoverished married couple. Unbeknownst to each other, they have been saving what little money they have in order to purchase the most perfect Christmas gift for each other.
The Gift of the Magi is a poignant vignette about the holiday season, and a gentle reminder that the best gift one can give is their own love.
