Manger Scene?

I happened to notice when I watched it earlier that when Bond and Tracy go to hide/sleep in the stable, Bond makes a comment about how he wished he'd booked something in advance, and they lay down in what looks like a feeding trough. It seems like that could've been a sly, ironic nod from the filmmakers towards the nativity, since there are so many other Christmas references in the film.

HO, HO, HO, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE 
