No love for “Gift of the Magi” by O Henry?

Another excellent choice.

These things are opinions I must suppose for O’Henry’s “Gift of the Magi” is the absolutely most perfect story and well-written as is O’Henry’s wont.

I consider the short story my own genre of the pen but I must bow to the likes of O’Henry.

All I can see, leave out “The Gift of the Magi” as the all time best Christmas story is to not know what Christmas, and love, is all about.

It’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I go for the classics myself...Die Hard and Die Hard 2 :)

The Gift Of The Magi was perfection. Nothing else I've ever read comes close.
