Twas the Saturday Before Christmas

I just made it into the Roost before K.K. stopped singing for the night. I asked him for a random song, and he performed K.K. Western for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Western.Angus is clearly looking forward to Christmas, as he was mentioning the special visitor that will be coming soon. Of course he wouldn’t come out and say Santa Claus, but it’s obvious who he meant.

Angus: Well, the snow will make it easy for his sled to get here. His REINDEER-powered sled. Got it?Meanwhile, Bunnie was talking as if we were practically the same person. Uh, no. Go tell it to the Easter bunny.

Bunnie: Saaay, Mr. J? You ever get the feeling that you and I are, like, the same person or whatever?Friga asked me for a new catchphrase, so I told her to say “so chill.”

Friga: Now I'll get even MORE attention, so chill!And Ed must’ve been hitting the eggnog a bit early. He was telling me to watch out for ghosts on a bun!

Ed: Dearie?! What're you doing runnin' around this late! Watch out for ghosts, on a bun!

Late Night Delivery Man

I had three letters in my mailbox when I started up the game tonight. One was a letter from Jingle, reminding me about the festivities on Christmas Eve. Another was from the Snowman I built last time, sending me a snowman wall as his way of saying thanks. And Mallary sent a letter to thank me for the medicine I gave her; she rewarded me with a cabana table.

I soon ran into my newest neighbor, Prince. He told me that when he goes into town hall, he tries to visit when Pelly is on duty. That’s because Phyllis scares him. Guess what, pal…it’s probably mutual.

Prince: 'Cause, um...Phyllis kind of scares me, burrup.The holidays are approaching rapidly, and some trees now have Christmas lights on them.

Christmas lights on several of the cedar trees near Able Sisters.I went in to say hello to Ed, and he asked me to make a delivery to Mallary for him. He couldn’t do it because he just ran a marathon in wet sand. So he claims.

Ed: I've got this package I need to get delivered. Thing is, I just ran a marathon in wet sand.I found the ugly duckling by my northern bridge. She was wondering why Ed would possibly want to send her a present. That is a pretty good question, honestly.

Mallary: A gift from Ed? I wonder why? Well, I did compliment him for studying chemistry lately...She opened it up and found out that it was a No. 67 shirt. She didn’t seem all that happy with it, but she still put it on. When I returned to Ed and told him I made the delivery, he gave me a pastel-dot wall to thank me.

When I ran into Lily a few minutes later, she wanted that pastel-dot wall. In exchange, she offered me a kiddie wall. I love how everyone in this village just walks around with spare wallpaper in their pockets, just looking to trade it with someone else.

Lily: Really? You don't mind? I could have sword you were going to reject my little plan entirely!After a quick chat with Broccolo, I headed home and ended my game for the night. I’ll see you all next time. Have a good day!

Winter Arrives in Forest

As of December 11th, snow now covers the ground. Winter is here!

Snow appears on the ground, trees, and the roof of a nearby house.And just when I was starting to like my current crop of villagers, I found out that Prince just moved in. He has some of the worst facial hair in the Animal Crossing kingdom.

Prince: Eep! My place still isn't ready, and neither am I! I'm Prince, and I just moved here today.Mallary was sick tonight, so I went to the store to buy her some medicine. Unfortunately, I took the picture a little too soon, so she hadn’t flipped for it just yet.

Handing some medicine to Mallary the sick duck.Since it’s Saturday night, I made sure to make a stop in the Roost to hear K.K.’s live music. I let him choose the song, and he apparently named the song after himself: Mr. K.K.

Sitting in the Roost, about to enjoy some live music from K.K. Slider.After the show, I found two snowballs outside, so I put them together to make a snowman. I actually made him perfect somehow, so he’ll be sending me a gift in the mail soon.

Snowman: It's a new season, and I'm completely gorgeous! Look at these proportions! I'm mathematically flawless!
