At Scholars & Rogues we celebrate the many faces of human aspiration this season, from the spiritual to the secular. Whether yours is Christmas, Hanukkah, Solstice, Ramadan, Kwanzaa, or simply sharing the joy of giving and family with those you love, we wish you happiness and peace.

Thanks to our good friend Wendie Colter for passing along several of the videos above and to Dr. Mike Pecaut for “All You Need is Elves.”

    Thanks, especially, for the “Twelve Days of Christmas,” Sam. I showed it to the whole family. They loved it.
