A Short Story Christmas Gift

O Henry is probably best know for his wonderful Christmas story, "The Gift of the Magi" but he also wrote several others that I'm rather fond of and thought I'd share.

"A Chaparral Christmas Gift" A lovely Western offering. http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/14976/

And a crime story, "Whistling Dick's Christmas Stocking" http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/1882

I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful holiday season!!

Gems indeed, Sandra. Who else could get away with phrases like "a decided misdemeanor?"

Happy holiday season to you also.

No one, Al. O Henry could twist a phrase in such a way that it just giggled with humor.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that the New Year brings you all kinds of wonderful!
