Winter has arrived, and snow now covers the grass and trees in town. I caught a glimpse of the northern lights tonight, although they were past their peak and starting to fade away.

My kiwi shirt was looking quite out of season, so I headed over to Able Sisters to see if I could find a more appropriate shirt. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any shirts I liked…but I did see this motocross helmet for sale. It was blue and shiny, and I couldn’t resist it.

Of course that clashed with what I was already wearing, making my kiwi shirt look even worse. So I changed into my UFO pattern shirt for now; at least it’s blue and black like the helmet.

As I walked around, I noticed that Christmas lights are also on some of the cedar trees around town.

I made an animated GIF showing some of the Christmas lights in motion.

I saw a large shadow in the river, so I fished it out and caught a stringfish! That’s always a nice surprise (and sells for a nice chunk of change).

When I visited Chow, he asked me to catch a centipede for him. Yikes.

I tried banging several rocks, but I only found pill bugs, not centipedes. He may be on his own for that request.

At Nook ‘n’ Go, I decided to order a racing shirt (not to be confused with the racer shirt or racer 6 shirt) to go along with my helmet. I should have that next time.

I was also trying to find Opal, since I didn’t see her anywhere in town. I eventually found her in the Roost. We had a nice chat about coffee, and how delicious it is.

I’ll see you all next time. Happy holidays!

I spotted a new house in town tonight, and I found Coco inside. She’s the creepy gyroid/coconut/zombie/rabbit villager with no eyes. And yet, I kind of like her. 😛

Tom Nook had a big festive tree (a large Christmas tree, in other words) on sale at Nook ‘n’ Go tonight. I bought it for my house.

Saharah was in town, looking for old wallpaper. But before I asked Static for wallpaper, he told me that I can’t catch saltwater fish in the river and I can’t catch freshwater fish in the ocean. You don’t say…

I spoke to him again to ask for old wallpaper, and he actually had one for me!

Next, I ran into was Broccolo outside. I chatted with him, but I didn’t have the option to ask about wallpaper; he just kept talking about finding fossils or money on the ground. Then I realized, it was just after 12:00. Saharah, for whatever reason, doesn’t stick around past midnight. What a pain.

When I went to see Tank, he told me that pill bugs were on his mind and even in his dreams! That doesn’t sounds like a good dream.

But pill bugs are usually pretty easy to catch, so I agreed to help him out. When I returned with the bug, he rewarded me with a groovy wall.

After completing my walk around town (and getting some fossils identified), I returned home. I put my Christmas tree up and I put my old wallpaper into storage. That was actually the third old wallpaper I have in storage now! That would have been enough for a rare one, if Saharah hadn’t been in such a hurry to fly out of town. Oh well, I can redeem them next time.

If you haven’t yet seen my annual slideshow of my best City Folk pictures, here it is.

Rod is gone now, and I got his goodbye letter in the mail tonight.

Outside of the museum, Bluebear was talking about Blathers and Celeste. She said that they’re over ten years apart in age, yet they still argue about everything. She was trying to figure out whose fault it was.

Static asked me to make a delivery to Savannah, and I did. The gift was a graduation gown! Oh, did Savannah just graduate?

After returning to Static, he gave me  a TV with a VCR to thank me for my trouble.

Chow the panda somehow locked himself out of his house. He asked me to help look for his key, but I wasn’t in the mood. Fishing for keys is such an annoying chore in this game.

When I came up the ramp, I found Tank and Opal…uh…enjoying each other’s company. A lot.

I checked the lost and found, and there were 12 items in there instead of the usual maximum of ten. That’s because Franklin’s tables (from the harvest festival) took over some of the spaces occupied by the sparklers and roman candles I left there. So I took them back, and I also took this kiwi shirt and put it on.

See you all next time!
