The greatest gift is something that one can give every day, not just on Holidays to people that they care about. The greatest gift is love. Love defines us and creates a bond between humans. It is powerful and can make people do amazing things or terrible things. Love also gives one strength to keep going and to not give up. Without love, society is nothing. God gives people love to share but he also loves them immensely.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
