I started up the game and it was snowing. The Christmas music was also playing, with heavy use of jingle bells. And of course there are still lights on the trees, so it all has a festive atmosphere.

Tom Nook wasn’t feeling so festive though, as his daily flyer advertised an item not usually associated with Christmas.

I caught up with Jingle, the black-nosed reindeer.

I also talked to many of my animals. Baabara, being the horrible sheep she is :P, had nothing nice to say.

I found Jingle a couple more times, but you have to find him five times before he will start giving you Jingle furniture. That’s a bit of a pain, and it’s the main reason I prefer Christmas Eve on City Folk instead. I didn’t play the GameCube game long enough to find him five times, but I still wanted to play the game and talk to Jingle at least a couple times.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

It was a chilly winter night in Forest, but the snow and Christmas lights made it a pleasant place to be.

I got a goodbye letter in the mail from Snooty.

I went to go meet my new neighbor Mallary. These are the first words she said to me:

I didn’t do a whole lot tonight, I mainly just talked to some animals and pulled some weeds. It’s nice just to take in the atmosphere and music this time of year.

I started up the game and saw that not only was it snowing, but snow now covers the ground as well. Winter is here.

I also saw that many trees now have Christmas lights.

I went around town pulling weeds, talking to animals, and digging up any dig spots I ran across. This one had a pitfall. Pitfalls are fairly rare in this version; it’s not like City Folk, where a new one appears every day.

When I talked to Hank, he wanted me to buy an exotic chest for 3,000 bells. I declined and he said “how about a space heater for 1,000 bells?” I again declined. He got mad, gave me the space heater for free, and then stormed off. Alrighty then. I talked to Sydney and she was getting nostalgic for when she lived in Ohio with Scott. She said Scott sent her the best letters, such as this one:

After finishing my rounds, I stopped at the post office to mail a fossil and deposit some bells, and then I headed for home.
