grand theft baby Jesus

when we were first married like a million years ago one the the neighborhoods we would drive through would put a beautiful creche in their yard each holiday season. It was a very nice manager scene with what appeared to be wooden figures, maybe hand carved, just read as not plastic plug in kind. But what would drive me ever loving bonkers each year would be the fact the Jesus figurine was in the manger the entire season! You do not put baby Jesus in his crib until Christmas Eve!!!!! I always threatened to steal him then put him back when he was suppose to be there but I never did. Who knows I might run a reconnaissance mission this weekend...
