Today is Sale Day (also known as Black Friday or the-day-after-Thanksgiving), so I stopped by Nookington’s. Nook had lots of grab bags for sale, each one costing 2,012 bells.

Each grab bag contains three items. I bought three grab bags, but most of the items inside them were carpets or wallpapers. I did get a green pinwheel, though.

Another thing that always happens on Sale Day is that Crazy Redd will be in town.

He had a ruby econo-chair, a white bishop, and a turntable for sale. I wasn’t interested in any of those.

By the way, there is a cool glitch that only works on Sale Day. Crazy Redd can disappear from his spot in front of his tent, and reappear at another sign post, where he will then vanish into thin air. If you want to see a video of the glitch, click here.

I then ran into Gulliver on the beach.

He gave me a Lady Liberty, which of course is a model of the Statue of Liberty. I wonder why this item wasn’t included in City Folk? Anyway, I finished pulling some weeds and stopped at the post office before I headed for home and ended my game.

Today is the Harvest Festival (aka Thanksgiving) in Animal Crossing.

Unfortunately, Chief has moved out of Forest.

I then went to meet my new neighbor Gonzo. This game has something that City Folk doesn’t have: Male koalas.

I then made my way to the wishing well area, where all the tables are set up for the holiday. Genji was in charge of guarding the forks and knives this year.

Emerald and Hank sat at one table. Was it for greens only?

Robin and Sydney sat at the other table.

After swiping the knife and fork, I started searching for Franklin the turkey. Animals around town will give you clues.

I found Franklin and gave him the knife/fork, and received some harvest furniture in return. I made several trips back and forth and got several pieces of harvest furniture.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

In my mailbox, I found a goodbye letter from Murphy. I just remembered that I never went back to meet him as his normal self; I only saw him with his Halloween mask on.

The fishing tournament was underway today. I didn’t participate, but I saw Puck and Candi fishing together at the lake.

I saw Tortimer near the wishing well. Today is Officer’s Day (Veterans Day), so he was talking about the three “officers” of Forest: Copper, Booker, and himself.

If it’s your first time meeting him on Officer’s Day, he will give you a police model. But of course I got mine years ago. Anyway, he also mentioned feeling safe when Officer Copper is around.

I saw Hank, and he told me not to worry about the snow in winter…

I then went to meet my new neighbor, Chief. He also lives in my other GameCube town, Ohio.

After a quick trip to the post office, I then headed for home.
