Bob was asking me for some new clothes today. So I went into the Able Sisters’ shop and bought a Chinese shirt for him. He loved it, and he gave me a blue bookcase as a reward.
And while walking around town, I couldn’t help but notice that the Christmas lights on trees are still up.
I watered my flowers and found one new black rose. I was almost done playing, when Avery told me to look up at the sky later on tonight. So I left the game on for a couple hours, and sure enough, the northern lights appeared after 11:00 p.m.
Just a reminder that I’ll be opening my Bananas gate Saturday night at 10:00 p.m. EST (7pm PST). If anyone wants to bring any fruit (anything except apples), I’ll appreciate it.
That included New Year’s greetings from Bob, Avery, Del, Anabelle, Egbert, Rowan, and Mom. Mom included 1,000 bells with her letter. The other letter was the monthly bank statement from the Bank of Nintendo. I earned 86,200 bells in interest this month.
When I checked the bulletin board, it mentioned today being Bob’s birthday. I actually already knew it was his birthday…I think that’s one of only two animals’ birthdays that I actually know off-hand. The other is Chief (December 19), because I know someone who shares that same birthday.
Tortimer was outside town hall, wishing everyone a happy new year.
He was giving out this year’s new year shirt.
I walked down my paths, watering my flowers…and then I saw it. Another house blocking my path. In the same exact spot Sally just moved out of, and Iggly before that. It was Peggy’s!
I never liked Peggy before, but when her house is here, I like her even less. I went to talk to her, but hopefully this will be the only time until she’s on the way out.
Since I haven’t posted a list of my villagers lately, this might be a good time to list them all and the years they moved in.
It was New Year’s Eve, so I changed into my tuxedo and started stocking up on party poppers.
I opened my gate at 10:30 and Yann came over to visit. The animals seemed excited for New Year’s.
Yann and I were coming up with names for fish-flavored cereal.
We couldn’t help but notice how often the music changes in the final hour of the year. Some of these songs only play for a few minutes each year.
With less than a minute to go, Tortimer could barely handle the excitement.
Then midnight struck! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Despite what it may look like in the picture, I wasn’t half asleep. Or drunk. 😛
The fireworks started, and Tortimer seemed to be enjoying them.
Egbert was also excited about it being 2013.
Del seemed to be drunk (or maybe he’s mean sober too). He said he was looking forward to a year of me not bothering him much. HUH? Next time you’re sick, get your own medicine, punk!
Happy New Year, everyone! Make 2013 a great year!
