I know some people that have the nativity, but remove the baby...then tell their children that they don't have the baby there because he grew up, died, arose, and ascended

The first time I visited the church I now attend there was an empty manger setting in front of the pulpit. During the message this is the reason the pastor gave for it being empty. I think I would like to put an empty manger in my front yard as a way of witnessing to my neighbors when they ask "what happened to the baby?" (ahh who am I kidding I live out in the sticks the only neighbors I do have would just think the local teens stole it.)
