Through Advent, when I was a little girl, every time I was
good, or did a good deed, I put a piece of straw in the empty crib
beneath the Christmas tree so that Jesus had a soft bed when he
comes on Christmas morning.

Submitter comment: This was a Christian custom which my mom also did when she was
going to school.
