Wow, thank you so much for providing these two links, BenG. I still haven't started on my Christmas Reading list and I know I better get started before the merry season finally comes to a close!

I'll be bookmarking these links, thank you again.

"Gift of the Magi..." great story. It can be found in the short story collection "The Four Million" (1908) by O Henry, which I am sure is on this site in the Patricia Clark Memorial Library. It must be one of his most anthologised stories.

The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries

Edgar Award-winning editor Otto Penzler collects sixty of his all-time favorite holiday crime stories--many of which are difficult or nearly impossible to find anywhere else. From classic Victorian tales by Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Thomas Hardy, to contemporary stories by Sara Paretsky and Ed McBain, this collection touches on all aspects of the holiday season, and all types of mysteries. They are suspenseful, funny, frightening, and poignant.

Included are puzzles by Mary Higgins Clark, Isaac Asimov, and Ngaio Marsh; uncanny tales in the tradition of A Christmas Carol by Peter Lovesey and Max Allan Collins; O. Henry-like stories by Stanley Ellin and Joseph Shearing, stories by pulp icons John D. MacDonald and Damon Runyon; comic gems from Donald E. Westlake and John Mortimer; and many, many more. Almost any kind of mystery you’re in the mood for--suspense, pure detection, humor, cozy, private eye, or police procedural—can be found in these pages.
