New Year’s Shirt 2018

I received Dotty’s goodbye letter in the mail today. I’d say I’ll miss her, but…I won’t. 😛

My friend Jeff, I'm moving away from Forest. Thanks for all the memories, Jeff! Byeeeee! -Yours, Dotty

But that letter was one of eight in my mailbox! I also received my monthly statement from the Bank of Nintendo, and new year’s greetings from Mom, Opal, Kitty, Benedict, Tangy, and Static.

Jeff! New Year's Greetings - Stuff this card under your pillow, and you've got my guarantee that your first dreams in the new year will be good ones! -Static

I walked over to town hall (which isn’t far from my house) and had a chat with Tortimer. He had a gift for me, the New Year’s shirt for 2018!

Tortimer: But first, since it's the new year and all, I need to give you something.

I put it on and went into my house for a closer look at it (since you can’t zoom in the camera outdoors). It has 2018 on the back and a dog on the front, since 2018 is the year of the dog in the Chinese zodiac.

I then spoke with all of my villagers, and they all wished me a happy new year.

Samson: Happy New Year! WOOOOOOO!

Tangy said that the 2018 version of her is more powerful. Does that mean her juice is more concentrated?

Tangy: The me of 2018 is a new, more POWERFUL me!

I spotted a balloon present and shot it down. Will it contain something lucky for the new year? Nah, it was just a green counter.

Happy new year, everyone! I hope you all have a great 2018! 🙂

Dotty Departs

As soon as I came out of my house today, Champ was standing there waiting for me. He asked me to make a delivery to Tangy…who was also nearby. 😛

Champ: Truck this over to Tangy, choo CHOO!

So I made the long journey over to Tangy, and handed her the gift. It was a Toad shirt, and Tangy put it on right away.

Tangy: Oh, wow! I think this is a Toad shirt!

After telling Champ I made the delivery, he rewarded me by giving me an illusion floor.

Dotty is now all packed up and ready to move out of town, so I went and said goodbye to her. I took a good look, ’cause it’s the last time.

Dotty: Don't forget what I look like! Take a goooooood look, wee one!

Over at Able Sisters, I bought myself a space suit. Now that Christmas is over, it’s time to put the Jingle shirt away. But Opal spotted the Jingle shirt in my pockets, and she gave me a blue-trim wall for it. She didn’t change into the shirt, though.

I then went over to Samson’s house and played with his bowling balls for a while.

After a quick trip to the city, I returned to town. Midge says that when she sees the snow, she forgets how cold it really is. Odd, because I’d think the mere existence of snow should give her a hint that it’s cold out here.

Midge: When I see the town blanketed in snow, it makes me forget how cold it really is, tweedledee.
Does Pete have mail for her, or is he just sniffing her hair?

I’ll be back on Monday to pick up my New Year’s shirt for 2018!

I Missed Clyde’s Day

I played a bit on Monday, and Dotty told me she was thinking about moving out of town. I didn’t try to stop her.

Dotty: Yeah, I guess you're right. No one would miss me if I left anyway...Tangy was outside in the snow, mentioning how freezing she was. Maybe it’s not the best weather for wearing that bikini?

Tangy: C-coooold... S-soooooooo c-c-cooooold... T-teeth so ch-ch-chattery...

I didn’t notice a new house on Monday…but apparently, it was there. I’m not even horsing around! That’s because I only met my new neighbor Clyde today! He was already unpacked and trotting around outside.

Clyde: Hey, nice to meetcha! I'm Clyde, and this is my very first time living on my own!

Dotty, meanwhile, is not packed up yet. Probably by next week.

I noticed there are now festive Christmas lights on many of the cedar trees around town, so I stopped to take a picture. The holiday season is upon us!

I then made a delivery for Midge (to Benedict), and she rewarded me with a regal wall. Not much else was going on today.

But I have finished up my latest ACCF video, as promised. It shows some funny, interesting, and memorable moments from 2017. Here is City Folk Moments #2! I hope you enjoy it.

I’ll be back again next week. Have a merry Christmas, and happy holidays to you all! 🙂
