Christmas in Viet Nam

14:16 28/12/2020

Having lived in Viet Nam for over 15 years, I can say with absolute certainty that I enjoy Christmas here more than in the US. Even though most Vietnamese are not Christian, it is still a special and even magical time. You see children (and adults!) posing for photos in front of all of the holiday displays that have sprouted up around town, including at Catholic churches and various businesses. Some of my favorite sights are people wearing Santa hats and faux reindeer antlers and men in Santa suits speeding around the city on their motorbikes.
