“Christmas Waves a Magic Wand Over This World and Behold, Everything is Softer and More Beautiful.”  Dr. Norman Vincent Peale is the Author of “The Power of Positive Thinking” and minister of the Marble Collegiate Church in New York City for 52 years.  Marble Collegiate Church, 1 West 29th Street is one of the oldest continuous Protestant Congregations in North America.  His self-help book was published in 1952 and was an international best-seller.  There are over five million copies in circulation.

Another quote of his is:  “Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others…….”

Dr. Peale died on Christmas Eve of 1993.
