According to the Christian tradition, the wise men or magi
who travelled from afar to place their gifts at the baby Jesus' feet as he lay in the
manger were the first gift givers. Therefore the title of the story is meant to reflect
that tradition as well as the unselfishness of the givers in that the magi travelled
such great distances to give their gifts to the newborn baby. In some ways they are
also linked to the story in that their gifts were in some ways less practical to a baby
but were meant to signify their willingness to sacrifice, just as Jim and Delia were
willing to sacrifice for each other, even if it meant giving up their most prized
possession.
