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 word! 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.
