1. ‘The Gift of the Magi’ by O. Henry

artFix Woolwich is quite Christmassy today as I start the December special posts. Until the 25th, my daily #MuddyShoes will be all festive! Every day I will tell you a bit about my day (as usual) and share a Christmas story from my B-Side Advent Calendar 2021 collection.

‘The Gift of the Magi’ by O. Henry

I read this story last year while I was studying short story writing - it is a very typical example. It’s such a beautiful and sad story. This is why I chose it to be the first on my list. I love giving gifts, especially for Christmas.
