A Christmas Memory By Truman Capote
"A Christmas Memory" is a short story (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_story) by Truman Capote (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truman_Capote). Originally published in Mademoiselle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mademoiselle_(magazine)) magazine in December 1956, it was reprinted in The Selected Writings of Truman Capote in 1963. It was issued in a stand-alone hardcover edition by Random House (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_House) in 1966, and it has been published in many editions and anthologies since.
The largely autobiographical story, which takes place in the 1930s, describes a period in the lives of the seven-year-old narrator and an elderly woman who is his distant cousin and best friend. The woman was Nanny Faulk, elder sister of the household where Capote’s wayward parents deposited him as a young boy. Nanny, whom everyone called Sook, was thought to be developmentally disabled. But Capote later wrote a friend, ‘’I had an elderly cousin, the woman in my story ‘A Christmas Memory,’ who was a genius.”
The evocative narrative focuses on country life, friendship, and the joy of giving during the Christmas season, and it also gently yet poignantly touches on loneliness and loss.
Now a holiday classic, "A Christmas Memory" has been broadcast, recorded, filmed, and staged multiple times, in award-winning productions.

The Gift of the Magi by O.Henry
"The Gift of the Magi" is a short story by O. Henry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._Henry) first published in 1905. The story tells of a young husband and wife and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money. As a sentimental story with a moral lesson about gift-giving, it has been popular for adaptation, especially for presentation at Christmas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas) time. The plot and its twist ending (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist_ending) are well-known, and the ending is generally considered an example of comic irony (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_irony).
