“We loved with a love that was more than love” – Edgar Allen Poe. In the classical short story of The Gift of Magi that’s how Jim and Della felt. They had almost no money, but that sacrificed their greatest and most valuable treasure. Jim sold his watch for hair combs while; Della sold her luscious hair for a watch fob as a Christmas present for Jim. I think it was fine that they spent that much money on one present for love.
A reason it was fine spending that much money is because it was Christmas. Christmas is the season of giving, it comes once a year, and one expensive gift a year is reasonable. That money could have been saved for something important like rent, but they are a married couple, and they loved each other so much they wanted
