Today was my first time playing since Toy Day, and I got a letter from Jingle in the mail. He sent me Balloon Fight (the NES game) as a Christmas gift.

I also received a letter from Boots. Sadly, he has already moved out of town. I guess Boots was made for walking.

In acre B-1, I met Boots’ replacement: Poncho. They both share names with things you may wear when it rains. 😛

I walked by Puck’s house right as the clock struck 10 o’clock p.m., and I saw his lights go out. When I tried to go in his house, the sign said he was sleeping. I think he was really just avoiding me.

Static asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told him to say “in a flash.” When I spoke to him again, he told me I looked awful as ever, and he asked who dresses me!

The funny thing is, he dressed me! Well okay, he didn’t put the clothes on me. But this is the exact shirt (the gray tartan) that he gave me last time when he said I looked awful! If my shirt looks awful, it’s your fault, Static!

He gave me a jagged shirt, but I wasn’t interested in wearing it. I’m not taking fashion advice from him again!

I spoke to my buddy Hank, and gave me a birdcage as a gift. That’s a strange gift to get from a chicken. Maybe he’s just trying to get rid of one of his cousins or something.

Ursala surprised me by telling me how much she enjoys snowboarding! She said she’s going to hit the slopes this weekend. She’s worried that she might break her nose again, though.

I ran into Hank again, and this time, he asked me for a new catchphrase. I told him to say “at KFC.” This catchphrase has some potential. Hopefully it won’t start to bug me after a while.

I spotted a balloon present flying diagonally through town, so I followed it. Unfortunately, it never ran into a tree. So I had no choice but to watch it sail away, out of my life forever.

Candi was already in her house by the time I came by, so I went inside for a visit. She was a bit upset that I hadn’t visited her in so long, and she said if I didn’t come tonight, she would have banned me from entering her house! She was obviously bluffing, but still, that’s pretty rude.

After running by the post office and the dump, I returned home for the night.

Today is Toy Day in the world of Animal Crossing. Not to be confused with Christmas Eve (which is tomorrow), Toy Day is the day where Tortimer will be at the wishing well plaza to hand out gifts. He will give a miniature car to boys, and a dolly to girls.

Of course, I already received the car in a previous year, so he didn’t give me another one. Even though his dialogue seems to indicate otherwise. But here is what the car looks like; it’s a model of Gracie’s car.

In the mail, I found a goodbye letter from Leopold the lion. I kinda liked the guy, but at least I still have him in my other town (Ohio).

As you can see, snow now covers the ground and trees. Christmas lights are also up on many of the regular and cedar trees.

When I visited Snake, he was complaining about how Katrina the fortune teller ripped him off. But I was more disturbed by the face he was making.

Since autumn is way over now, I wanted to change out of my straw shirt. So I went up to Nookington’s and bought this blue check shirt. I know it looks like a tablecloth, but I kind of like it. 😛

I found a new house next door to Maple, and I was surprised to see who it belonged to: Boots the gator! If you follow my New Leaf blog, you saw me recently mention that Boots was one of the Amiibo cards I recently got! I’ve been thinking about inviting him to live in New Leaf town, so it’s a coincidence that he showed up on GameCube right now. Welcome to Forest, Boots!

Over by the waterfall, Static was not a fan of my blue check shirt. He said I looked awful, and he wondered who dresses me.

That was pretty rude of him, of course. But on the bright side, he did give me some new clothes for free: a gray tartan. It looks alright, so I went ahead and put it on.

I had a little chat with Puck, and he was talking about Scott (my player in my secondary town of Ohio). But then he changed subjects and started talking about how hungry he is. I better not get between him and his sandwich!

After pulling weeds and talking to all of my villagers, I returned home. I played the Tennis game I found last time, for a few minutes at least. Tennis games are tricky at first until you get the timing down and learn the best places to stand. But I didn’t play long enough to fully get the hang of the controls, so I didn’t do very well.

That’s all for now, but I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in 2017!

Did someone in town eat ham for Thanksgiving instead of turkey? That’s what I wondered when I found Hambo’s goodbye letter in the mail. I’m sure he’s in a better place now. Even if it’s just Tom’s stomach.

When I walked along the edge of the cliff, I saw a snake lurking in the grass below. Well, technically it was Snake hiding behind a tree, but what was he doing? Once a ninja, always a ninja, I guess.

And being the day after Thanksgiving, today is Sale Day! In Nookington’s, the entire first floor had nothing but grab bags for sale, at a price of 2,016 bells each.

Each grab bag has three items inside. I bought two bags and got a kiddie wall, a bear pole, cabana flooring, a straw shirt, a pink pinwheel, and a striped pinwheel. The straw shirt looks autumn-y, so I put it on. I also started carrying the striped pinwheel.

The pinwheel made for a funny conversation when I spoke to Static. As the pinwheel spun in his face, Static asked what it was, and asked if something was stuck to his face!

I also had a chat with Hank, and he told me he painted my roof! So it’s now green, like him. But I’m not paying him for the work! Not even one buhk buck!

Speaking of green, I met a new villager today: Leopold the lion. He’s my mane man. He also lives in my other GameCube town, Ohio.

If you look closely, you can see a dig spot in the lower-left part of the above picture. I dug it up, and I got a Tennis NES game! It’s not every day that you net a free game. I’ll have to set this in my house; I’m sure I’ll have a ball with it.

Mayor Tortimer was over by the wishing well, sharing some words about Sale Day. He said more stuff is sold on Sale Day than on any other day of the year, and that’s good for the merchants in town. But he said that he does his own shopping online!

At 6:00, Crazy Redd’s black market tent appears. I wanted to do the glitch that only works on Sale Day. So I went into Redd’s tent and bought all three of his items. Once you do that, the tent will be closed up.

If you leave the acre and re-enter it, you’ll see the tent is gone. But not permanently, it’s just moved to another location. The interesting part is that the tent, and Crazy Redd, will now be at different locations! If you find the tent again, do not go in it. Keep looking until you see Crazy Redd standing by a sign post. Talk to him, and after his usual banter, he will walk into the sign post and disappear!

After witnessing that, I returned home and ended my game for the day. See you next time!
