Shattered Snowman Dreams

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.

Jeff, It's been a blast, pal, but I've made up my mind and I'm moving far away. I've always been a drifter at heart: I'm going wherever the wind takes me. -Knox

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.

Kitty, to Tiffany: ...

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.

Snowman: Huh. First time building a snowman? Yeah, I thought so. I mean, pretty good for an amateur...

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.

Snow, Man!

Winter has arrived in Forest, and snow now covers the ground and trees. The wintry look is always so pretty…at least at first, until we get tired of the snow after a few weeks. 😛

Just four weeks after Sterling moved out, my other knight has followed suit. Knox is all packed up and ready to leave.

Knox: I've got everything packed, but it's going to be kinda lonely leaving this place behind...buzz me.

I saw Tiffany at the Roost today. She told me about the first time she tasted Brewster’s coffee; she said it was so good that she thought she’d never drink sarsaparilla again.

Tiffany: After my first sip, I loved it so much that I thought I'd never again drink my old fave, sarsaparilla.

With winter being fresh and new, I decided to build a snowman…even though the two snowballs weren’t anywhere near each other. I had to push one of them up a ramp.

I thought it would look nice to build the snowman near the fountain.

Snowman: I LIVE!

Unfortunately, my snowman-building skills were a little rusty, and he was not a perfect snowman. But at least he’s alive, right?

Snowman: I've heard there are some nice seasons out there... I wish I could give one of them a try...
Be thankful you’re giving winter a try.

At the gate, I was quite surprised when Booker told me he had 11 items in the lost-and-found. It normally maxes out at ten items (although there is room for twelve).

Booker: I mean, we definitely have 11... I think...
These go to 11.

When I checked it out, I found three Roman candles in there. I left them lying on the ground outside of town hall, and they must have been displaced by Chip’s tent for the fishing tournament last month.

Enjoy the winter snow, and good luck with your snowmen, everyone! I’ll see you next time. 🙂

Delicious Snow

It was snowing again in Forest tonight. I wish I could get snow like this in Wild World! But naturally, Roald the penguin was happy to see the snow. He even said it was delicious!

Roald: SNOW! It's snowing! And it's delicious, I'm a jerk!

Nook ‘n’ Go had a big festive tree for sale, so I bought it for my house. Christmas is just a few weeks away! I’m soooo not ready for it. 😛

Tom Nook: Yes, a big festive tree. It costs 1,984 bells.

Unfortunately, my house is so messy that the only place for the tree was right by the door. I literally can’t step into the main room now (without picking the tree back up). 😂

Bones was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him. Get well soon, doggy dude!

I took advantage of the falling snow, and I went fishing in the ocean. Even though I didn’t fish for long, I did catch myself a coelacanth!

A coelacanth?

My newest neighbor Monty asked me for a favor (the first of many, most likely). He wanted me to deliver a package. I agreed to help out, and I took the gift over to Knox: A graduation gown was inside.

Knox: Well, well, if it wasn't the graduation gown I asked for.

The monkey gave me a holly bonsai as my reward. Meanwhile, Knox had to keep wearing his new gown out in the snow…that’s because he locked himself out of his house. His brain must be scrambled. 😛
