The Gift of the Magi is about a young couple, Della and Jim, who are struggling to afford Christmas gifts for each other due to their poverty.

3. THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
The Elves And The Shoemaker introduces us to a poor shoemaker and his wife who find themselves in financial ruin until a pair of perfectly made shoes appears each morning, leading to prosperity. Who has been making them?
4. THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL by Hans Christian Andersen
The Little Match Girl concerns a poor, barefoot girl who is selling matches out in the freezing winds on New Year's Eve. Huddled in an alley for warmth, she lights matches to see visions of a warm stove, a festive meal, and a beautiful Christmas tree.
5. 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS by Clement-Clarke Moore
'Twas the Night Before Christmas is a classic 1823 poem that describes the excitement on Christmas Eve. As the family settles to sleep, the narrator hears a commotion and sees St. Nicholas (Santa Claus) arriving with his flying reindeer and sleigh. Santa enters the home by going down the chimney, fills the stockings with toys, and then departs, leaving the family in wonder and joy.
