It was snowing today in Forest.
I went to Nook’s and saw that he has Christmas trees for sale, so I bought a large one. Even though my house is in-between designs right now, at least I have a Christmas tree.
I got a goodbye letter from Valise, so she is gone. I went to visit my new neighbor, Snooty. I hope I made a good first impression. I think I did.
Today is Sale Day in Animal Crossing, also known as Black Friday or the day after Thanksgiving. For Sale Day, Tom Nook will be selling a bunch of grab bags.
Each one costs 2011 bells and contains three random items. They may include furniture, clothes, carpet, wallpaper, pinwheels, or perhaps other items as well. I ended up buying 11 of them. I sold most of the stuff back of course, but I kept this vertigo shirt and fancy pinwheel. I also kept a racer shirt for future use.
Crazy Redd will always be in town on Sale Day as well, and there is a cool glitch that will only work today. You have to go to Redd’s tent, go inside and buy all of his items (this may require a lot of money). Once you leave, his tent will vanish into thin air. But somewhere else in town, his tent reappears with new items…but Redd is not standing outside that tent.
Keep looking around (it may be back at the original spot you saw him), and you will see Redd standing in front of a sign post. Talk to him, and he will walk into the sign post and disappear! Here is a video of the glitch that I recorded two years ago: Animal Crossing – Disappearing Crazy Redd Glitch.
While talking to Genji, I accidentally asked him for a job. He asked me to get his comic book back from Static. No problem, Static was nearby, so I asked him. But Static said he lent it to Sydney, so I went to her house. She was sleeping outside, but I woke her up and then asked for the comic book. She told me Baabara took it. So I went into Baabara’s house. She told me she gave it to Tom. So I went up to Tom’s house, and fortunately, he actually had it. I then returned it to Genji and he rewarded me with a stately wall.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Thanksgiving Day means it’s harvest festival time in Animal Crossing.
Franklin the turkey is in town, but he’s deathly afraid that someone is going to eat him. He will be hiding behind buildings and trees. Your job is to snatch the forks and knives from the large table and give them to Franklin. In exchange, he will give you a piece of harvest furniture.
Animal Crossing: City Folk on Wii also has the harvest festival. And although City Folk may do Halloween and Christmas Eve better, Thanksgiving is best on GameCube. For one thing, the atmosphere is better. City Folk has some dining tables at town hall, but there’s nobody at the tables…only Tortimer standing near them. On GameCube, the tables actually have food on them. Special festive music is playing, and there will be five animals at the tables talking, laughing, and enjoying themselves.
And yes, they actually drink from the cups!
But even aside from all that, finding Franklin is easier on GameCube because you don’t have to give away your knife and fork just to get a hint like you do in City Folk. This means less backtracking and quicker Franklin finds.
Regardless of which Animal Crossing game you’re playing (if any), have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!
