On this third day of CraftLit, we're diving into a festive double feature: Mrs. Charles J Woodbury's "The Potato Child" and O. Henry's "Gift of the Magi." Cozy up for an evening of holiday magic and heartwarming narratives that will leave you with a warm glow and the joy of the season.

Thank you to Jennifer and Alix for suggesting the stories!
