Baby, It's Cold Outside

Center Congregational Church created a display in their front yard this year. It was designed to convey the true meaning of Christmas to passersby.

Still...
What I thought when I first spotted the display from the road... as I walked closer... and even after I had taken the photo... was: "It's terrible weather to leave a baby outside!" Even a plastic baby.

No matter how I looked at the display, the baby looked more abandoned than revered.
