New Year, New Cranky

I started up the game tonight just before midnight. However, it was a little closer to midnight than I realized; the clock on my Wii U was a bit fast! So I didn’t quite make it to the plaza in time to see see the final countdown. And I didn’t exactly have far to go, either. 😆

Happy New Year! I hope this is the best year ever for all of you!

But I still spoke with Tortimer, and he wished me a happy new year. Tom was also there in the plaza.

Tortimer: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
You don’t have to yell; I’m right here.

I made sure to enjoy the fireworks from several spots around town.

Enjoying fireworks from the fountain.
Fireworks from the windmill.

The villagers that were outside were talking about the fireworks, as you’d expect.

Hopper: Bah! Who needs the sun when we can light up the night sky with colorful explosions!

Gaston said that the fireworks make everyone a kid again.

Gaston: Whoo! Burning sky! Fireworks make everyone a kid again, if I shave!
Yeah, you’d need to shave off that bushy mustache to look like a kid again, Gaston.

When I visited Queenie, she informed me that she’s going to demand even more from our friendship in the new year.

Queenie: Happy New Year! You can be sure that I'll demand even MORE from our friendship this year.

Apollo’s replacement has moved in, and it’s Lobo the wolf. His eyes look so huge!

Lobo: If you're lucky, you and I might end up friends. If you're lucky. Anyway, good to meet ya, ah-rooooo!

Unfortunately, Lobo is another cranky! So I’m back up to eight cranky villagers again. Oof. Why is my town cursed like this lately?

One random note about New Year’s Eve: I think it’s so disappointing that we never see fireworks in the city. Why wouldn’t a seemingly big city not celebrate the new year, while every small town with a population of ten or less does? Hmm…

Happy New Year, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow, as I pick up the latest New Year’s Day shirt for 2023. See you then! 🎆🥂

Note: I also attended the New Year’s Eve festivities in New Leaf and New Horizons as well, if you’d like to check out those blog entries too: NYE in ACNLNYE in ACNH
