Week 101 - "A Multicultural Christmas for Us All"

Hopefully it's obvious, but this is a satire.  The purpose is to comment on how most multicultural celebrations of Christmas are still inherently and undeniably centered on Christianity.  Of course they are!  How could they not be?  Christmas is specifically a Christian holiday, for crying out loud!  So, I wrote this anthem for those that halfheartedly pretend that Christmas is a holiday for everyone.
Lyrics:
Eb                        Cm
Christmas time is here, a time we all hold dear.
Ab                       Eb/G                  Fm    Bb
Regardless of what you believe or where you're from.
Just one time a year, the world can all come near,
And celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, everyone.


       Ab            Bb               Eb   Cm
It's a multicultural Christmas for us all.
Ab                Bb                 Eb   Cm
Jewish, Hindu, or Buddhist, just the same.
         Ab                 Bb            Cm         Eb/G
It's the time of year where we forget our differences
      Fm                Bb              Eb   Ab/Eb Eb Ab/Eb
And together we'll give praise to Jesus name.


Eb                                      Cm
Christmas is so fun, that we think everyone.
Ab                  Eb/G             Fm    Bb
Should celebrate it just the same as us.
Much to our chagrin, some people won't join in.
We don't understand why they should make such a fuss.


       Ab            Bb               Eb
It's a multicultural Christmas for us all.
Ab                Bb                       Eb
Christians, Muslims, and atheists just the same.
         Ab                 Bb            Cm         Eb/G
It's the time of year where we forget our differences
      Fm                Bb              Eb
And together we'll give praise to Jesus name.


       Ab            Bb               Eb
It's a multicultural Christmas for us all.
Ab                Bb                 Eb
Jewish, Hindu, or Buddhist, just the same.
         Ab                 Bb            Cm         Eb/G
It's the time of year where we forget our differences
      Fm                Bb              Cm   Eb/G
And together we'll give praise to Jesus name.
      Fm                Bb              Eb
And together we'll give praise to Jesus name.
