This reading was written by O'Henry in 1905. It is a story about love and generosity; reminding us of the authentic values of giving, of sacrifice and what truly matters as we express our love, especially during the holiday season. The surprise ending makes it especially endearing. I hope it brings you inspiration and a sense of peace. Music is from Pond 5 by Simon Stevens, Rozhdestvenski, Sabertone, SereneSoundsMedia from Pond 5.

Thank you so much Glenda for your lovely voice and storytelling. I found this story so powerful and was in floods of tears ( still am!) What a beautiful meaning and description of love. My mind had wondered to an even worse option; that he had sold his sight for money so couldn't see she had sold her hair. Glad it wasn"t that! Love and light to us all.

Glenda your story was amazing πŸ˜‰ your voice is so calming and I love it so much I love the wonderful characters in it and it is both heart touching and sad about how they both gave up their most valuable possession to get the other gift though you sound like honey the story has so many meanings.πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜Š
