We lost the baby from our nativity scene so my daughter got a Babybel from the fridge. Since then "Baby Cheesus" has always been part of our Christmas.
While visiting my partners home in the Austrian alps from Glasgow we vited Dornbirn a small market town. The centre had a beautiful church where around it the Christmas market was held. Outside thechurch theyhad a nativery scene but there was no baby Jesus. My partner was so annoyed that someone had stolen him. Until I reminded him that he hadn't been born yet. After midnight mass the child figure is carried out and placed in the crib. He had obviously spent to much time in Glasgow my home town, but now I live in Austria.
It’s the 12 days “of” Christmas, which means the season that starts on Christmas Day, and then when it’s Epiphany another season begins. So the 12 days are Dec. 25 to Jan. 5.

The Rev's velociraptor story reminds me of Ross Noble's anecdote about a nativity display in a shopping centre where he snuck a toy meerkat into.

My brother would add a jolly Victorian gentleman figurine and his plastic WWII soldiers to our crib scene when he was little.
Jo told this hitchhiking story on WILTY!
if it had been Quentin Crisp, it was his birthday on 12/25. Alone on his birthday...how sad😪
If you’re counting Dec.24 and Jan. 6, that’s 14 days, not 12.
