Kim Jong Un has officially banned Christmas

He's banned gatherings where there are eating or drinking during the holiday season.

Kim Jong Un officially banned that practice last year, instead directing all citizens who would have celebrated the holiday to instead commemorate the December 24,1919 -- the birthdate of the leader’s grandmother instead.


The only remaining issues remaining now are, how quickly will Fox "news" learn of this, and how quickly can they convine Trump to launch a Christmas nuke attack on North Korea.

After all, Fox started the "War on Christmas" and continues it to this day. Then Trump claimed he would "bring back Merry Christmas," and has now bragged that he has done so.

Idiots all. And it gives the North Korean monster an opportunity to make fun of them.
