The submission of "The Gift of the Magi" reminded me of one of my favorite Christmas short stories: The Story of the Other Wise Man by Henry VanDyke.

    Peace, Calvin!            *smile*                       A Blessed and Happy 2014 to you, eh?!!!

                 What a superb story!                 Thanks very, very much!            I am truly grateful.  Have never come across that story before.

                        I actually shed a few tears when I read it just before supper here in Eastern Canada!

                                    My Lorna June will be reading it soon ......      *smile*

    Let's see, there was Kaspar, Balthasar and Melchior.  The other one must have been Vladimir.  [;)]
