The Gift of the Magi：The Future in the Past
The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and also the most important one of the whole year，which is also called as the Chinese New Year. In China, it is called Chun Jie or Guo Nian.
Christmas, also known as "Christ Mass", which originated from the Lunar New Year celebration in ancient Rome. Christmas has its root in Christianity, one of the largest religions in the world. For Christians, this is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, who is believed to be the son of God.

Background and History of Christmas
warm up
‘Christmas’ is an English term for ‘mass on Christ’s day’. Mass means celebration or memorial. It was around 3rd century A.D. that Christmas began to be celebrated as a Christian festival. Before then the midwinter solstice was celebrated in Europe as a folk festival ‘Yule’.
In A.D. 336 when the Empire split between east and west, the church in the east recognized January 6th as the celebration date. The time between December 25th and January 6th forms what has become known as the "12 Days of Christmas."

ONE DOLLAR AND EIGHTY-SEVEN CENTS. That was all she had. Della counted it three times. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.

Della paid twenty-one dollars for the watch chain, and hurried home with the remnaining eighty-seven cents. She looked at her reflection in the mirror carefully again. She felt nervous. Did she look like a little schoolboy without her beautiful long hair Would Jim still think she was pretty She was about to find out.

Della arrived home and admired Jim’s watch chain. She could not wait to see how Jim would react when he saw it the next morning. What was she going to say about her hair, though She had to think of something. Just then, Jim opened the front door.
“Oh!” said Della in surprise, trying to hide the chain. “I didn’t think you were going to be back so soon. I was about to take a shower.” She tried to get away to the bathroom.
“What’s that ” asked Jim. He came closer. “My Lord! And what on earth have you done to your hair ”
“I was going to wait until tomorrow to give this to you, but you’ve seen it now,” Della said. “I sold my hair to buy you a new chain for your watch.”
Jim looked at her with a loving smile, but there was also sadness in his eyes.
“What’s wrong ” asked Della.
“I thought I would surprise you for Christmas too,” said Jim. “So I sold my watch to get you these.” He held out the combs.
Della was speechless. She smiled back at Jim, and they held each other for a long time. Although their gifts had not worked out as planned, they were to be together happily for Christmas, and that was all that mattered.
