I&#8217;m talking realistic figures&#8230;Mary, Joseph, even farm animals, the whole sha-bang. Including a wooden nativity structure that was originally supposed to be a dog house but my brother gave up halfway through construction.<\/p>\n<p>Now, my parents don&#8217;t put out the very realistic football sized baby Jesus\u00a0until Christmas because technically that&#8217;s his birthday. four days go by, FOUR DAYS, and then poof Jesus has vanished, he left as quickly as he arrived.<\/p>\n<div data-shortcode=\"caption\" id=\"attachment_149\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-149 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ablogonlyamothercouldlove.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/01\/giphy1.gif?w=520\" alt=\"giphy.gif\"   \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hotforphysics-archive.tumblr.com\/post\/12763460405\">GIF via Giphy<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>My mother thinks he got up and left because my family and I were playing Cards Against Humanity on Christmas (if you don&#8217;t know what that game is, here is an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cards_Against_Humanity\" >explanation)<\/a>\u00a0and Jesus heard the cards we played, got up and ran away from our house as fast as possible. I think it was those middle school punks that live in my neighborhood. two years ago they took my neighbor&#8217;s reindeer and put them in very&#8230;um promiscuous positions.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, two days pass and Jesus was still nowhere to be found. My brother suggested my dad file a police report because you can&#8217;t just buy another baby Jesus, it&#8217;s not like Walmart the day after Christmas where you can buy ornaments and candy half-off. They don&#8217;t have bargain bins for baby Jesus &#8220;Christ belated-birthday discount: 60% off!&#8221; He&#8217;d have to buy a whole new nativity scene ad they are pricey.<\/p>\n<p>The cop drives over to my house and my dad shows him the nativity and explains how baby Jesus is missing and the cop looks at my dad then asks, &#8220;Can you please describe his appearance?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t a witness to this interaction but when my dad told me I lost it! Just the fact that the police had to be informed about a missing baby Jesus, how ridiculous is that?<\/p>\n<p>Over a month later and baby Jesus is still missing but we are keeping our eyes peeled.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/ablogonlyamothercouldlove.wordpress.com\/134\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/ablogonlyamothercouldlove.wordpress.com\/134\/\" \/><\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.wp.com\/b.gif?host=ablogonlyamothercouldlove.wordpress.com&#038;blog=100040915&#038;%23038;post=134&#038;%23038;subd=ablogonlyamothercouldlove&#038;%23038;ref=&#038;%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I had an interesting Holiday season.
