• "Baby Jesus Tours New York" - WGRZ, 12/19/06:
  A statue of the baby Jesus is back where it's supposed to be this Christmas, in North Buffalo.
  
  The statue was taken from a lighted manger two days before Christmas, 2005.
  
  The statue showed up on the doorstep eight months later, along with a small book entitled The Baby Jesus Chronicles.
  
  The booklet contained pictures of a road trip that the statue had been on all across New York State.
