World | North Korea Grinch N. Korea Shakes Fist at South's Christmas Lights Pyongyang is not happy with Christmas tree-shaped tower on border By Polly Davis Doig Posted Dec 24, 2012 4:45 PM CST Copied The offending 100-foot-tall steel Christmas tree tower with about 30,000 light bulbs, is lit by Christian groups in Gimpo, South Korea, Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012.

Unspecified-but-surely-dire consequences are pending if South Korea doesn't take the tower down; the AP notes that it goes dark Jan. 2.
