On the subject of Nativity Scenes
At our Church (Anglican Catholic) not only is the Christ Child put in the crib at Midnight Mass but the Magi don't go in until Epiphany.
Also our decorations don't go up until after Advent IV as a reminder of the penitential season of Advent.
Would have been a nice touch if the nativity scene without Jesus got a Jesus automatically at midnight on the 24th!
