The gift of giving β¦?
The author of βThe Gift of the Magiβ is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.
βThe Gift of the Magiβ is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jimβs watch, while Jim sells his grandfatherβs watch to buy a set of combs for Dellaβs hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts β¦ after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
