You’re not supposed to put the Baby Jesus figurine into the manger until Christmas Day.
Canvass the other Hoo-mans in the household about whether they’re aware of this. Focus your investigations on those who are.
(Or drop the investigations and trust that the perp will put Him back in ten days.)
No more hoomans but Mr.Wrekker on the place. I doubt he even knows I have a baby Jesus. Or, maybe even if I have cats, come to think of it. I looked all upstairs. Shook the covers on my bed. No baby Jesus. i’ll probably find him in the middle of the night when I step on his sharp little nekid self.
If he finds out, claim it was Immaculate.
Do you sleepwalk?
Very funny! He’ll never buy that, he’s Baptist. But I will be forgiven.
No I don’t sleep walk, I just don’t sleep very much.
If, on Christmas Eve, you find your cats kneeling in front of the couch or the fridge–I’d check under the couch or fridge, for Baby Jesus.
If your cats are kneeling in front of the fire in the fireplace, well…
If they kneel anywhere I am calling for an exorcism.
Just saying.
Heh. Years ago, some kids from my high school took Baby Jesus from the outdoor, life-sized City Hall nativity scene. They left a note behind, with pasted words cut from the newspaper, reading, WE GOT THE KID. LEAVE $1000 IN UNMARKED BILLS HERE BY 5PM TOMORROW, OR YOU’LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.
After a good laugh, and no ransom money having changed hands, they returned Baby Jesus.
The holy babe was then chained in place by no-fun City Hall bureaucrats.
That actually sounds like a cool tradition.
snerk You don’t see many Herods in nativity sets. Of course, he’d have to be set up far away from the manger.
Golden Retriever being “dog shamed” with a placard reading “I ate the baby Jesus from our Christmas Nativity Scene … not looking forward to the Second Coming”.
I don’t care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I get my baby Jesus,
Back from where the cats put my Lord.
He’s so small, they thought him a toy,
Played with him, but boy, oh boy,
I hope my cats forgot him and got bored.
Herod’s palace is a relatively common sight, at least in Spain. Mom’s nativity actually has a Herod too (actually a Julius Cesar from some Asterix movie, courtesy of McD).
Bravo!
any updates?
Yes. Baby Jesus has been spotted. He’s down between the washer/dryer in the laundry room. I haven’t retrieved him yet. The laundry is where my cats hang out alot. They love the dryer. They have a bed on top of it. They were definitely the thieves. Caught, nearly redhanded.
How dumb. If the chains are visible that would be an unsettling image. If they drilled into the back of His little head to install an eyebolt, that’s worse. Besides, once the Savior is secured Mary or one of the three wise guys will be next.
Don’t blame the cats so quickly, maybe the dogs are playing dumb so you don’t blame these kind of things on them! Hmm… 
They don’t have to play dumb. They’re not exactly geniuses.( love them regardless) These cats have super powers. They’ve been trying to convince me for days the dogs did it. I ain’t buying it.

Between the washer and the dryer? It’s obvious that they kidnapped him, and asked a lot of questions, and wanted him to come clean.
