I started up the game tonight and it was snowing in Forest. The Christmas Eve festival was going on.

But despite the holiday, the animals were definitely not in a giving mood. Candi wanted me to pay 5,000 bells for an exquisite wall. What a rip-off!

Static took it a step farther by forcing me to buy an item! It was one of those games where he lists five items, one at a time, and you have to choose which one you want or else you’ll be stuck buying the fifth item. As usual, I waited for the one that was under 1,000 bells.

After that, I decided not to talk to most of my other villagers tonight. I eventually found Jingle, the black-nosed reindeer.

He even says “Ho ho ho!”

I didn’t have the time or desire to keep searching for him the five times required to get Jingle furniture, so I ended my game after a quick stop at the post office.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Once again, it was snowing in Forest today. I got a letter in the mail from Groucho. He just moved out of town.

I then went to meet my newest neighbor, Grizzly.

I talked to Puck, and he’s really looking forward to Christmas.

But Static seems more interested in the New Year’s Eve countdown.

When I went by the wishing well, Sydney randomly ran by, kicking a basketball. Alrighty then…

By the post office, Tom ran up to Copper, and then they both leaned in…for a kiss, apparently! This isn’t the first time I’ve caught them doing that, either! I wonder if Copper had some mistletoe hanging from his hat!

Emerald was asking me why snow is white when water is clear.

I pulled some weeds, mailed some fossils away, and then ended my game for the night.

I started up my game and saw that snow now covers the ground. That’s a day earlier than in City Folk.

I talked to Candi and she was talking about the legendary living fossil (the coelacanth). She asked if I had heard of it, and when I told her I’ve already caught one before, she freaked out. She was upset that I caught one before she did.

I also noticed that some trees now have Christmas lights on them. Forest is looking quite Christmasy. If that’s a word.

After stopping at Nook’s, I continued around town and saw Static. He was talking about Wisp until he spooked himself out.

I then saw Katrina’s tent, so I went inside to have my fortune told. She basically told me some good things may happen and some bad things may happen. In other words, it was a neutral fortune that doesn’t affect anything.

A lot of the animals were mentioning Jingle, who comes on December 24th. Hank went so far as to imply that he was going to steal Jingle’s red suit for himself!

I then mailed some fossils away and headed for home.
