"''[[The Gift of the Magi"]]'' is a 1906 short story by [[O. Henry]], where a poor couple has little more than each other. The woman sells her beautiful hair to a wigmaker to buy a chain for her man's heirloom watch. On Christmas day, she discovers that he has sold his watch to buy her combs for her hair. The original story can be found [http://www.auburn.edu/~vestmon/Gift_of_the_Magi.html here].
 
This story has become one of the all-time classic Christmas stories, and with good reason. Also frequently used to teach [[Dramatic Irony]]. A popular source for [[Whole-Plot Reference]]; see [["Gift of the Magi" Plot]].
