One Christmas story that we enjoy every year in various forms—an
Adventures in Oddysey radio drama “spin-off” of it; short story in our
compilation books; audio of it; etc.—is the O’Henry story, “Gift of the
Magi.” It is such a poignant short story of sacrificially giving,
something that many of us know very little about in today’s society.
I
thought I would probably find it online since it is beyond the
“copyright” years and is available in so many books. And I was right!
So I wanted to share it with our readers, in the hopes that you will
have a short read aloud session with your family—with a lively
discussion following! “God bless us, everyone!” (Oh, wrong story…)

P.S. For you homeschoolers out there, this story makes a wonderful "piggyback story" to piggyback off from and write a similar tale. We are adding it to our Creative Writing series! Fun stuff!
