A few weeks ago, I loaded up my town briefly and I saw that Weber had moved out. His replacement was Jeremiah, but he was sleeping when I went to his house to meet him. Fast forward to today (December 23rd), and Jeremiah has also moved away.

Of course, snow now covers the ground and many cedar trees and regular trees are now decorated with festive Christmas lights. Here’s a GIF showing some decorated trees next to Nookington’s.

Candi offered me a free gift, but I only had one space free in my inventory, so I turned it down. That annoyed her a bit, though not as much as I was expecting. 😂

Belle told me she bought a Master Sword, but it didn’t match her furniture. So she was looking to trade it!

But guess what she wanted in return…my toilet! Haha, it’s a deal!

I met Jeremiah’s replacement, Spork the pig. He’s not exactly the cutest animal around, but he seems okay.

Today is Toy Day, but Tortimer was nowhere to be found at the wishing well. It was 6:40 p.m. though, so maybe I was too late in the day? I hate how Tortimer doesn’t stick around long on holidays in this game. Of course he wouldn’t have given me another toy car anyway, but I was still hoping to speak with him.

But even if Tortimer wasn’t at the wishing well, Baabara was…and she seemed to be in a giving mood. She offered me a strange painting if I got her trivia question correct.

But even after I guessed correctly, she suddenly “couldn’t find” the painting to give me. So I got no reward at all. She’s lucky I didn’t have any pitfalls with me.

At least my good buddy Hank was there to balance things out. He gave me a free refrigerator. Pretty cool. 😉

Here are a few other quick notes:

• Genji gave me a pear (foreign fruit) in exchange for a barbel steed.
• Static painted my roof black, but it’s covered in snow so I can’t even tell.
• The daily glowing spot yielded 10,000 bells instead of the usual 1,000. Nice!
• Puck told me he figured out why it’s been snowing lately. The reason? It’s winter. 🙄

I’ve posted two Animal Crossing GameCube videos since my last blog entry, so check them out if you haven’t seen them yet. First up is a look at five things about the game that I hate.

And the other one is GameCube Moments #14, showing some funny and interesting things that have happened in my towns over the past few months:

Have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and happy holidays all around! I’ll see you next time…never stop crossing! 🙂

I played one day last week, and Biskit informed me that he painted my roof!

He said he’s really good at painting, and he can paint just about anything. Even flowers, apparently.

But when I got back home, I was not happy with the work that he did. He painted my roof pink! Ugh.

Maybe he knew he was a bad dog, because when I played yesterday, I saw that he split town. He said he was turning over a new leaf in his goodbye letter.

I met his replacement, Weber the duck. And guess what? Weber also painted my roof!

He painted it green, which isn’t the best roof color either, but at least it’s not pink any more.

Today, Puck was talking about weather forecasts. In particular, he was wondering if they were just lucky guesses or if they actually could predict the weather somehow. 😛

Tom told me that I looked strapped for cash, “as always.” So he offered to buy my mega dekkoid for 3,000 bells! Even though I don’t really need the bells, I’m not stupid! I gladly sold him the gyroid.

Hank told me that he thinks it will start snowing soon. True enough. But he assured me that if I don’t like the snow, he will melt it with his body heat after a mad workout. Haha, what a guy. 😛

Today is Officer’s Day in Animal Crossing, which is better known as Veterans Day in the United States, and Remembrance Day in many other countries. Tortimer was standing near the wishing well, and he told me that he built the police station and opened it on Officer’s Day!

He said it was the proudest moment of his career.

After that, I mailed away a few fossils to be identified, did some fishing in the river, and then eventually returned home. Have a great day, everyone! And Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Late last month, Prince moved out and Dozer moved in. September 29th was the 17th anniversary of my town Forest, so I posted a special video town tour. I show you around Forest, talk to most of my villagers, and I also overlay clips of some memorable moments from previous years. If you haven’t seen it yet, please check it out.

I played again today, and I got Dozer’s goodbye letter in the mail.

At Nookington’s, I couldn’t resist buying myself a toilet.

I met my newest neighbor, and he’s a dog-gone good fit for Halloween: It’s Biskit, the dog without eyes! He warned me to make sure I have plenty of candy on the 31st.

Over by the wishing well, Baabara and Kody apparently had a fight…and it left Kody feeling depressed. I spoke with Baabara, and she was talking about keeping abreast of all the latest gossip. Kody must not have liked the fact that I was talking to Baabara, because he walked over and gave me this look.

I picked all the weeds I could find, and I restored Forest to perfect town status.

A few days ago, I posted a video that ranks my villagers in all of my Animal Crossing towns. That includes all three of my GameCube towns, two City Folk towns, and also the Forests in Wild World and New Leaf. If you’re curious to see how I rank them all, here is the video:

For GameCube Forest, it was based on the residents of my previous blog entry. So it listed Prince instead of Dozer, but that’s irrelevant now anyway since they’re both gone. If you’re curious, I would rank Biskit 7th…between Kody and Genji. Despite his somewhat-freaky eyes, I do like Biskit. Here is my current list.

See you next time. Have a happy Halloween!

Update: Here’s an Animal Crossing Halloween poem for you! It features Animal Crossing characters, but it takes place in Luigi’s Mansion. I hope you’ll check it out. 🙂
