Time For A Classic Christmas Story

I love the short-stories of  American writer, William Sydney Porter, who wrote under the pen name O. Henry.  In my teens, I used most of my babysitting earnings to buy books, thus commencing a lifelong obsession with books.  I still have my copy of “Tales of O. Henry” I bought decades ago and the very first story in the book, “The Gift of the Magi”, is the one that I urge you to read.  Take a break from the dismal news, prop up your feet, and read a few of his wonderful short-stories.  You can find  it for free (here).
