James,

I don't see why they wouldn't support the Caganer;  after all, the  
religion that has contributed so much to the development of Western  
culture and civilization can afford a bit of self defi--er, deprication.

Just out of curiosity, does your creche have pink balloons and a  
banner that read "It's a girl!"?
