In response to the threat of jihadi-manned trucks mowing down pedestrians, concrete barriers called "bollards" are going up all over Europe to block vehicles from pedestrian areas.
To avoid upsetting those who would like to be more festive under the jihadi threat, the governments are dressing up the bollards to be more bright and appealing.
What was once a holy season is now a target-rich environment that attracts jihadi scum. So we'd best re-write that Christmas favorite "O Christmas Tree" (or "O Tannenbaum") to reflect the new Christmas symbol in the age of terror.
O Christmas bollard, o Christmas bollard
How blast resistant are you
O Christmas bollard, o Christmas bollard
How blast resistant are you
Your sides so grey in summertime
Stay naively bright in wintertime
O Christmas bollard, o Christmas bollard
How blast resistant are you
Let us all remember
In our gift giving and our merriment
With our family and friends and loved ones
The new and grim meaning of Christmas
The birth of death and terror threat--Jesus Christ!
O Christmas bollard, o Christmas bollard
How blast resistant are you
O Christmas bollard, o Christmas bollard
How blast resistant are you
The pillars all guard faithfully
Our trust in cement unchangedly
O Christmas bollard, o Christmas bollard
How blast resistant are you
With thanks to these people for the original lyrics.
