"Heartwarming stories that recall Christmases past:
" - O.Henry's all-American tale, "The Gift of the Magi,"
originally published in 1906. - Leo Tolstoy's Russian folktale,
"Where Love Is, There God Is Also" from 1887. - And Charles
Dickens' little-known classics "The Seven Poor Travellers" and
"What Christmas Is As We Grow Older," from 1854 and 1851. " " "One
dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it
was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing
the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks
burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close
dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and
eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.... She had
been saving every penny she could for months, with this result.
Twenty dollars a week doesn't go far. Expenses had been greater
than she had calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a
present for Jim. Her Jim." "- from the beginning of "The Gift of
the Magi""
