The Gift of the Magi: A Christmas Interlude

Merry Christmas from the Plunge!


We interrupt our regularly scheduled series to bring you a special Christmas edition of The Plunge. Today's episode features a reading of that beloved Christmas tale of love and generosity - O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi.

 

 

The Gift of the Magi was first published in the New York Sunday World in December 1905, and was later included in his 1906 short story collection "The Four Million."
