Baby Jesus to get a GPS

They should sell those baby Jesus figures with a GPS already installed since so many of them get stolen. Another solution is to buy the inflatable Nativity scene. There's no way to get the baby Jesus without stealing the whole thing.

A statue of the infant Jesus on display near Miami in Florida is being fitted with a Global Positioning System device after the original figurine was stolen.

[...]

The original vanished three weeks ago, despite being bolted to the ground.

A Jewish lawyer, Jeffrey Harris, from Cincinnati, who read about the theft on the internet, has donated the new Jesus figurine in the Founders Circle area of the city.
That was nice! He did it because he liked the Christmas spirit.

The Breakdancing Jesus

Um...well...um...I can't quite get what is the point of the video. Is it implying that Mary didn't give birth to Jesus but was a fully grown man who came to earth from heaven?

Huckabee responds to the controversy over his Christmas ad

I really think that people are making too much over this ad. The nation is about to celebrate a national holiday so why shouldn't one of the candidates mention it? (Though, if he hadn't made his Christianity a major platform in his campaign, he might not be getting this reaction.)

"If we are so politically correct in this country that a person can't say enough of the nonsense with the political attack ads could we pause for a few days and say Merry Christmas to each other then we're really, really in trouble as a country," Huckabee said.

Catholic League president Bill Donahue said Huckabee went beyond wishing people a joyous holiday. Donahue said he was especially disturbed by the cross-like image created by a white bookcase in the background of the ad, saying he believed it was a subliminal message.

"What he's trying to say to the evangelicals in western Iowa (is): I'm the real thing," Donahue said Tuesday on Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends. "You know what, sell yourself on your issues, not on what your religion is."

Huckabee said the bookshelf is just a bookshelf and shrugged off the controversy: "I will confess this: If you play the spot backwards it says, 'Paul is dead. Paul is dead.'"
