Gifts - Did You Get Want You've Always Wanted?

All the gifts bought and received made me think of a short story an uncle of mine once read me when I was really little.

You know the one about the young and very-much-in-love couple who were too poor to afford Christmas presents for each other? She sold her beautiful head of hair to a wig maker just to buy her husband a new chain for his fob watch not knowing that he had made a similar sacrifice, selling his watch to buy her an exquisite set of combs for her hair.

I never knew the title of the story or who wrote it but thanks to Google, I found it today. You can read the bittersweet tale here.
