I like the story. The wife loves her hubby so much, she sells her beautiful hair to get a chain for his treasured watch (which belonged to his grandpa). He loves her so much, he sells his watch to get special combs for her hair. Very sweet.
But the wife's hair will grow back, the hubby isn't getting that watch back. He does have the chain, a symbol of his wife's love...but somehow it never seemed like an even exchange. I'm actually kind of a romantic and I wouldn't mind being in that hubby's shoes, but from the outside looking in, it never seemed right.
Do you know of any real-life examples that mirror the story? I have a vague memory of my parents saying something similar happened to an aunt and uncle. but I don't remember it clearly.
Nice blog :)

I'm going to be honest here and say I'm not familiar with this story. HOWEVER after having read it, I like it too. :) Hmmm...can't think of any real-life examples off the top of my head. When you remember yours, do share!
ReplyDeleteAhhh yes, the Gift of the Magi...I remember reading this in my 8th grade English class and we debated on whether the gift was fair.. In a marriage isn't what is the wife's hers and what is his is also hers?? lol.
ReplyDeleteOh no I wouldnt like it if my hubby exchange a gift I bought him for a gift for me x
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I remember that story. I think it is very sweet, but if that happened to me I wouldn't like it if my hubby would do something like that, it would make me feel really awful.
ReplyDeleteYeah I can't forget that story, Iv'e heard when I was still a child..hahhah... yeah like you I felt something sad on it!
ReplyDeleteyeah it seems there is another real life story..i forgot..hmm.. ;) merry christmas Rick:)
I don't like stories like this!!! I mean, I love them, but they make me feel so bad for either party, LOL. >.<
ReplyDeletehaha I never thought of it like that, but I guess you're right! Although, a woman's hair is very close to her, so it's not like it's nothing for her to do that haha
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays my dearest!
ReplyDeleteFor you to understand what a woman's hair means to her, you have to watch a makeover episode of America's Next Top Model. Haha!
ReplyDeleteNo stories from my end, just wanted to wish you a merry Christmas!
Hmm can't think of any story. :P
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, Rick! :)
lol cute story, the wife's hair does grow back... I guess he can put something else on the chain, like a giant clock? :D
ReplyDeleteThis story made me laugh. I think it's because I do see that it is a sweet gesture, but never thought of it the way you put it. You're absolutely right her hair will grow back, but he'll never get that watch back. Definitely agree that from the outside looking in it doesn't seem so fair.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fantastic Christmas Rick and I hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year!
Happy New Year Ric! I hope you'll be celebrating tonight with the Mrs. Enjoy!
