O. Henry began writing stories while in prison. O. Henry edited and co-owned a humor magazine called The Rolling Stone in the 1890s. O. Henry actually wrote Gift of the Magi in a Manhattan tavern called Pete's. Gift of the Magi was made into a Simpsons episode (Grift of the Magi). Gift of the Magi was also the inspiration behind a Sesame Street holiday special.
According to the Christian Bible, the magi were the trio of kings who traveled to Bethlehem from somewhere in the east (probably Persia) to deliver three presents to the baby Jesus. According to the story, the magi were wise folks. The gifts the magi gave to Jesus must have been wise too (as the narrator of The Gift of the Magi suggests at the end of the story). These gifts must have been the smartest, best gifts anyone could have chosen.
