The Grinch may have stolen Christmas, but Kim Jong Un has outright banned it.

The North Korean dictator’s brutal restrictions on religion, however, haven’t stopped some activists from trying to spread the holiday spirit — by tossing presents into the Yellow Sea hoping they will wash up on the hermit kingdom’s shores.

Activists with the human rights group North Korea Freedom Coalition recently threw bottles filled with rice, a $1 US bill and a flash drive with Bible verses each, hoping to bring Christmas cheer to Pyongyang’s impoverished citizens.

“We should be doing everything we can to get information into North Korea by land, by sea, and by air,” Suzanne Scholte, who helms the organization told Fox News.

“We must communicate to the people in power in Pyongyang that they have friends and allies in Korea and America, who have only one desire for them: to share with the benefits of a free people, to give them a life of home instead of despair,” she added.

The flash drives in the bottles featured recorded messages from multiple members of Congress — including Reps. Michael McCaul (R-Tx.) and Gregory Meeks (D-NY) as well as Sens. Jim Risch (R-Id.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) — describing the holiday and North Korea’s connection to it, Fox reported.

“Christmas, which is celebrated all over the world on December 25th, marks the day when Jesus was born,” the message said, per Fox.

“Many of your ancestors also believed in Jesus. In fact, in 1907, in Pyongyang, there were so many Christians who believed in Jesus that Pyongyang became known as a Holy City.”

“But when Kim II Sung came to power, he wanted North Koreans to worship him as a god, and not the one true God. So, he killed many Christian leaders, sent others to political prison camps, or banished them,” it adds.

“He did all he could to kill the followers of Jesus Christ.”

North Korea is generally considered one of the most hazardous places on the planet to celebrate Christmas and other religious festivities.

“There is no Christmas in North Korea,” North Korean defector Kang Jimin told the Independent in 2017.

“I did not know what it was. Christmas is Jesus Christ’s birthday, but North Korea is obviously a communist country so people do not know who Jesus Christ is. They do not know who God is. The Kim family is their god,” Jimin said.

Christians in North Korea are forced to practice their faith in secrecy.

There are an estimated 400,000 Christians in North Korea, around 17% of which are believed to be imprisoned, according to the charity Open Doors.

North Korea has an estimated population of around 26 million people.
