Continuity mistake: When Kevin is hiding in the nativity set, you can see him on the right, just covered in the green robe. When it changes to the close up shot, he's now holding a shepherd's staff, which would have been visible in the previous shot.

Suggested correction: There is a staff but it's hard to see. If you squint a little, you will see it.
I too can see the staff in the first shot of the manger. It is dim, but it absolutely is there.
Then you're seeing something else because it would be easy to spot and there's nothing there.
Kevin is definitely holding the staff in all shots, you can see the curved head of the staff against the background.
Hiya, Bishop, when the camera (van's POV) slowly passes the church in the wide shot, Harry says, "I'm not going in there," and just as Marv replies, "Me neither," the shepherd's crook becomes even more visible, right before the shot cuts away. I added screenshots to show you where it's visible, so look at the pending screenshots page. It will be there temporarily, not meant to be added online by Jon.
Well, looks like Jon didn't listen.
OMG! I'm rolling my eyes at this one.
I too could see a shepherd's staff. It is there.
I can see the staff in both shots too.
