The Christmas film Love Actually famously featured a grade-school nativity play with multiple lobsters, Spider-Man, and a large green octopus—as if pointing out the myriad strange ways the nativity can been reimagined.
Christmas, like many other holidays, is a social ritual informed by some mix of religion and folklore. Some are relatively harmless—the understandable result of centuries of obfuscation, speculation, and artistic reinvention. On the less troublesome side is the nativity setting itself, which is usually a cave or a little stable constructed of twigs and peat moss. The Bible does say that Jesus was laid in a manger, and in reality, in poorer places like Bethlehem, animals were brought into the lower level of homes at night to keep them safe from bandits.
So the most likely scenario is that Jesus was born in the home of relatives somewhere on the moss-less lower level of the house where animals were often kept.
Admittedly, it makes for a less compelling scene than the one most nativities capture. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

By the Young Women general presidency As we lovingly display those shepherd figurines in our Nativity set or dress our children as shepherds for our annual reenactment of the verses found in Luke, do we recognize the significance of the symbol of shepherds and shepherding? This sacred analogy was used often by our Savior and has much to teach us. They were told that this holy child was the promised Messiah Luke
