Past Heads of Years

Just in time for sundown and thus the end of the holiday, here is a list of my past Roʼsh hash‐Shana–themed micro‐content which I compiled on my hard disc and thought worthy of sharing. Because Google eliminated their micro‐blogging service Jaiku, this list had to be cobbled from various sources. Some of the accompanying links lead to holiday videos.
