I did not know this short story, thanks to Amalia, who brought me to this short book! In the spirit of Christmas, this is a heartwarming story about a young and poor couple who both, without knowing it from each other, sacrifice something personal and precious, to give each other a present at Christmas.
Lovely, a classic I see here now, happy I have read it, recommended!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Bettye McKee Although this is a short story, it is unforgettable. It speaks to the reader of unselfish love that is remembered through the years.
