A manger scene without a cross gives an incomplete message. A manger scene and cross together without an open tomb are .... well, like Santa without a sleigh and reindeer.
The Manger says, "Keep it simple. The Cross simply says, "I know you well but I love you anyway." The empty tomb says, "To be continued ...."
I know the end of the book now, even though sometimes I feel lost in the middle. So please forgive me if, at times I may act like I don't. I struggle with my faith far too often. That is why I like Christmas. It reminds me of things I tend to forget as the year wears on.

"God so loved the world He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but that through Him, the world might be saved." John 3:16 and 17
That is why, in my opinion, a manger scene without a cross and empty tomb .... well, would not be worth celebrating.
