Gift of the Magi is a modern take on the classic O. Henry story. This movie originally aired on Hallmark Channel in 2010. It stars Mark Webber and Marla Sokoloff as Jim and Della Webber, newlyweds starting their life together and both working hard at their jobs to save money. They barely have enough to make ends meet. Della answers phones for a cleaning company and Jim is a bartender at the Magi bar. This year will be their first Christmas as a married couple.

The story is timeless. It is about loving someone more than anything else. It is about giving up something you love for another person. It is about true love. It reflects the true meaning of the season, which is not about material objects but about caring for someone else even more than you care for yourself.

Marla Sokoloff is adorable as Della. She’s a sparkling character who discovers true love then loses it, only to find it in the end.

This movie is family approved by the DOVE foundation which searches out faith and family films.

Hollywood is currently booming with moms-to-be, and Life & Style can exclusively reveal another actress who is expecting: Marla Sokoloff! The former star of The Practice is pregnant with her first child. “Marla is pregnant and is due at the beginning of the year,” Marla’s manager, Lisa Wright, tells Life & Style exclusively.

This is the first child for both Marla, 30, and her husband, musician Alec Puro, 36, who tied the knot in 2009. “They don’t know if it’s a boy or girl yet,” Lisa tells Life & Style. “They are just so excited.” The actress, also famous for her role as Stephanie Tanner’s bad-girl best friend Gia Mahan on Full House in the early ’90s, married her longtime love Alec in 2009. Prior to her marriage, she was in a five-year relationship with actor James Franco, whom she met on the set of Whatever It Takes in 2000.

Along with her upcoming role as a mother, Marla can also be seen in the upcoming film Scents and Sensibility (release date: TBA) alongside Nick Zano (TV’s What I Like About You) and Ashley Williams (Something Borrowed). Congratulations to Marla and Alec on their expanding family!

After their father is charged with swindling investors, Elinor (Ashley Williams) and Marianne Dashwood (Marla Sokoloff) must make their own way in life and love. They struggle to find jobs where being a Dashwood isn’t a strike against them. While Elinor finds work as a janitor at a spa, Marianne works as a copy assistant.

Their struggle to make ends meet–especially so they can help their mother pay for a critical medicine for their younger sister–is lightened by Marianne’s hobby of making scented lotions. One lotion heals aches and pains, which they sell to supplement their resources.

But others want the scented lotion formula, which could be worth a fortune. While Elinor and Marianne try to find love and acceptance, their trust is tested by those scheming to steal the formula. Can they come to a balance of relying on their hearts and sense without losing it all?
