The story of "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry describes the way in which a loving couple understands the real meaning of sacrifice, and in turn, of Christmas. These are some of the major events of the story:

  • Della is desperate to buy James a chain for his watch for Christmas, as the watch is his most valuable possession. However, she does not have enough money to do so.
  • Della decides to sell her long hair, which is her most prized possession, to be able to buy the chain.
  • At Christmas, James realizes Della's hair is short, and he hands her the present he bought her: a set of combs that she cannot use now.
  • Della explains why she cut her hair and gives James his present.
  • James is then shocked, and he explains that he sold his watch in order to buy Della the set of combs.
