<p class="xxmsonormal">Dear Tampa Bay Chapter,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"> Merry Christmas and I are excited about hosting you at our home and celebrating the peace, hope, love, and joy of this season. Our chapter is a very diverse group of people from a variety of backgrounds, lifestyles, cultures,
and spiritual beliefs. I find learning about different perspectives helps all of us create a more unified, cohesive group as we understand each other’s points of view! I enjoy learning about other cultures, spiritual beliefs, and practices. I would b interested
in hearing about some of our members practices during this season.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"> I guess I would consider myself culturally Catholic, sometimes calling myself “a recovering Catholic”. I am spiritually eclectic, calling myself Christian, though many Christians might call me a heretic! I celebrate Christmas
and its traditions, though I have a very different understanding of those traditions. Please feel free to share a bit about your holiday celebrations no matter from what culture or religion you approach it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal" style="text-indent:.5in">One aspect of the holiday season I truly enjoy is its music. Merry and I recorded the attached song in my studio on Friday. I hope you enjoy this rendition. We will be posting more seasonal music to my YouTube
channel soon , including the attached offering. Please take a moment to visit my channel, “Like” my songs, and subscribe for updates as they are posted.<o:p></o:p></p>
