Columns A diplomat’s life: Christmas in North Korea has lots of lights but little cheerWhile foreigners can celebrate privately, Dec. 25 is just another cold winter’s day for the rest of the country
 The following column is by Taylor Darby, a pseudonym for a foreign diplomat who worked in Pyongyang for an extended period of time before being forced to leave in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Views expressed in columns are exclusively the author’s own and do not represent those of NK News. North Korea is an atheist, communist society in which only one divine family, the Kims, may be revered and worshiped. But that doesn’t mean Pyongyang is completely devoid of Christmas cheer. City officials in many places, such as the Munsu-dong and Munhu-dong areas, will carefully put up Christmas © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
