OK ladies and gents. I know that December is super busy, but a friend just stopped by this week to read me the original version of The Gift of the Magi by O Henry. It's short and I promise tears, but totally worth it! What a beautiful story told in such wonderful language. I'm so grateful for the joy a friend shared with me. May your Christmas be filled with wonderful memories and smiles.

O'Henry is one of my mom's and my grandpa's favorite authors, but I haven't read many of his stories. I'll accept this challenge!
My daughter loves this story and likes for me to read it to her at night sometimes. It's a bit long for a night story, but I'm glad she likes a classic.
I just read this one a while ago! I found a book that my in-laws had given to us, and I finally decided to tackle it, "The Tales of O'Henry". Basically just a compilation of all or some of his stories. I love it because it isn't like a novel where you have to read it 'til it's finished, but you can read a few stories here, a few there, and it'll just wait for you 'til you are ready. It's been a lot of fun to read.
