Happy Holidays

With stealing the baby Jesus from outdoor manger scenes is a longtime holiday tradition as common as caroling, religious retailers say that the baby Jesus is also the most shoplifted item in their stores during the yuletide season.
With three outdoor baby Jesus-nappings reported in Washington, Idaho and Minnesota last week, the holiday season is one of both giving — and taking.
“Anything you can fit in the palm of your hand is a lot easier,” Gregory Musick of Kaufer’s Religious Supplies told KIRO.
“Everybody likes a baby,” he added. “They never steal the wise men or camels or anything like that. It’s always baby Jesus.”
