The greatest gift ever given was not found in a store,
             on-line or even handmade.

The greatest gift ever given never wore
        wrapping paper, ribbons or bows.

The greatest gift ever given wore
         neither twinkling lights nor ornaments,
         but was destined to hang on a tree.

The greatest gift was given in love,
         wrapped in swaddling-bands,
         celebrated by angels,
         adored by shepherds,
         marveled by sages,
         nurtured and pondered over by a young mother

The greatest gift ever given is JESUS ,
         our Brother, our Savior, our Model.
