Today is New Year’s Day, and I received New Year’s greetings in the mail from Kitty, Roald, Goldie, Static, Bones, and Mom. The letter from Mom included 1,000 bells.

The northern lights were up in the sky over Forest, so I took a picture of them from the bulletin board.

Tortimer was standing outside of town hall, so that he could give out New Year’s shirts for 2020!

The shirt is white and it has a rat on the front and 2020 on the back. That’s because 2020 is the year of the rat in the Chinese zodiac. Here’s a look at the shirt:

When I visited Bones, he was trying to recall the animals of the Chinese zodiac…and trying to figure out what year it is.

My monthly bank interest from the Bank of Nintendo helped my account balance top 39 million bells.

My villagers were talking about the arrival of 2020; Goldie said she hopes it’s a dreamy year for both of us.

Happy new year to you all! I hope you have a great 2020! I’ll see you next time. 🙂

It was snowing in town tonight, and Bones approached me with a great idea: He said we should have a snowball fight later! That is something I would love to see in New Horizons!

Maybe it could be a hide-and-seek type event, with a timer and official scoring. But I’d be happy even with the ability to bend over and roll up a snowball that we could throw at other players (or villagers). If we can have some lighthearted fun with pitfalls and toy hammers, why not snowballs?

Forest’s last new resident of the decade just arrived: Punchy the cat is here. I’m not sure what to think of him just yet. He’s not a character I have much experience with. Well, I guess this will be my chance to get to know him.

At Nook ‘n’ Go, today’s furniture selection included a kiddie stereo, a festive candle, and a tulip chair. Or in other words, the most colorful selection of furniture I’ve seen! (Well, maybe.)

Outside, Monty the monkey locked himself out of his house. All I could do is laugh. 😂

At the Roost, I stopped in for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night performance. He played K.K. Condor, which is one of my favorites…although I think I prefer the aircheck over the live version.

Puck was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him.

And Mitzi the cat was already looking forward to spring! I agreed with what she said, but we have a loooooong way to go. Winter is just getting started!

Have a great new year, everyone! I’ll be back on the 1st with another entry. I have to pick up my New Year’s shirt for 2020, of course!

Knox has officially gold rushed out of town, and I received his goldbye letter in the mail today. I won’t be knocking on his door again anytime soon.

Not only was it snowing in town tonight, but Christmas lights were lit up on many cedar trees around town. I found one spot, near the empty “river house,” where three trees in a row were lit up.

In front of town hall, Kitty and Tiffany had an argument about which of them is more bland. I just sat back and enjoyed watching them insult each other, since I don’t care for either one of them. But I particularly enjoyed this look on Kitty’s face…she was speechless.

Ever have an idea that you thought was really good, only to see your plans crumble into pieces before your eyes? That’s what happened to me when I tried to make a snowman by dropping a snowball off a cliff.

Since that didn’t work, I tried making a snowman near the edge of a bridge. Unfortunately, the snowballs rolled a bit away from the bridge and the snowman ended up right on my path.

But after I went into a house and returned, the snowman had moved even more! Now it was a full space left of my path!

Oh well. So much for my adventures in snowman-making. Have a great weekend and holiday, and I’ll see you next time! If you’re interested, check my Youtube channel on Sunday for a new episode of Mario Plays ACCF.
