At a Native American pueblo in the western United States, they have an interesting Christmas custom. After midnight service on Christmas Eve, one family takes the baby from the nativity scene and takes the Christ child home. They keep it for the 12 days of Christmas. What a thought! They take the Christ child home with them!
