New Year’s Eve

The other night, I spoke with Elmer near a sign post. He said he likes walking in this area because there aren’t any buildings in the area. The ironic thing is that this sign post is where his house used to be, the first time he lived in Forest.

Elmer: Sometimes I like to stroll around here 'cause there aren't many buildings in my way, down under.And tonight, it’s New Year’s Eve of course. Tortimer was outside of town hall handing out party poppers next to the countdown clock.

Exactly three hours (3:00:00) remaining on the countdown clock to the new year. Tortimer stands nearby.I then changed into my tuxedo as the northern lights started appearing up in the sky. I started stockpiling party poppers. Yes, I hoard party poppers. Don’t judge me.

Around 20 party poppers on the ground near Tortimer and the countdown clock.I spoke with Elmer again tonight and he said today is the day we put pajamas on 2013 and put it to bed.

Elmer: Today's the day we put 2013 in pajamas, give it a teddy bear to cuddle, and put it to bed!Ribbot told me of a boring New Year’s tradition he has: He cleans his house. You wild thing, you.

Ribbot: I clean my place from top to bottom for New Year's. What a lame tradition, no compute.And I noticed a new house in town. I went inside to meet my newest neighbor, Pate the duck.

Pate: Oh! Hiya! I'm Pate! I'm gonna, like, take the world by STORM! Tee hee!I didn’t stay on for the final countdown tonight, but I hope you all have a happy new year and a great 2014! By the way, if you haven’t already seen my latest Youtube video, then here it is: ACCF – Wi-Fi Moments #59.

Empty Cookie Jar

Cookie officially moved out of Forest today. I got her goodbye letter in the mail.

Dear Jeff, Wah, Jeff! Today is finally the day I leave Forest forever. Thanks for being such a great BFF! Take care! -Yours, CookieOver by town hall, Melba talked about Brian and said he looked like a sled dog. A sled dog?? I don’t think I’ve heard that one before.

Melba: He looked like a total sled dog to me, if you know what I mean.And a message posted on the bulletin board told about the New Year’s countdown and celebration starting on December 31st.

~Notice~ The countdown starts on the morning of December 31st in front of the town hall! Ring in the new year with your beloved mayor!Even if you don’t play as the clock strikes midnight, remember to play later on January 1st to get your New Year’s shirt for 2014. It’s the only day that shirt will be available.

Packaged Cookie

In an act of defiance, I rolled up a large snowball and hurled it into the ocean from whence it came.

Pushing a large snowball into the ocean.I found Saharah in town, looking for old wallpaper.

Saharah: I want old wallpaper! I give to you lovely new ones.So I started asking around. When I got to Cookie’s house, I saw that she’s all packed up and ready to move out.

Cookie: Champ! I've been waiting for you! I totally wanted to thank you for all the help you gave me.Octavian was the only animal who had wallpaper for me. But that turned out to be okay, because I had two of them in storage. So I took the three of them together back to Saharah, and she gave me a classroom wall. It wasn’t one I needed, and it wasn’t one I wanted either. Oh well.

The classroom wall on display in my house.
