I used to be at a church where the wise men showed up in the lobby, then the rear of the church, and finally marched their way up to center stage on the appropriate Sunday after Christmas. It takes a fair amount of coordination, work, and few rolls of double-stick tape. I love the substitute baby Jesus brigade! Sounds like a rock group, huh? But when's the last time I saw an actual Weeble? Still, I can think of lots of good substitutes. Jar Jar Binks would pretty much have me suppressing my snorts of laughter all day. TPTB are faaar too serious, and you can tell 'em I said so. Actually there are three types of nativity sceners, if you can believe that.

Apparently there are two types of nativity sceners.. those who just plunk the whole kit-n-kaboodle down and forget about it until new year's day (or longer), and those who actually withhold the baby Jesus until Christmas morning, which I find entirely too labor intensive (no pun intended). At work, my boss was the "no baby 'till Christmas" type so everyday someone would insert a baby Jesus by proxy in the form of army men, weebles, and some of those little lego guys.. TPTB were not amused. What a hoot!
