Sweet Story about young love and Christmas

Two newlyweds sell their most beloved possessions (her hair and his watch) unbeknownst to the other to give each other gifts on Christmas Eve of beautiful hair combs and a golden chain for a watch.

Adorable short story that I've read before but had forgotten the name of. It's a story that has stuck with me through my life and I'm glad it has.

I had a gorgeously illustrated version of this story when I was growing up. I hated it. In its own small way, it was kind of tragic. I grew to appreciate it as I got older, though.

It kind of makes me feel better about all the student debt my boyfriend and I have between us.
