Yesterday was New Year’s Day, and I had a bunch of new letters in my mailbox. Many of them were New Year’s greetings, including one from Mom, who sent me 10,000 bells. Nice! And the letter from Truffles was particularly amusing; she said she resolved to become a sewer worker in 2025!

But there was also this one from Whitney, who said she guesses she’ll spend some time with me this year, but only because her boyfriend is busy.

I visited Drift, and he demanded that I hurry up and give him a New Year’s gift! That’s not how it works, froggy.

He also told me his new year’s resolution was to get his body fat down to 0.02%! Yeah, I don’t think that’s possible (or healthy).

Tortimer was over near town hall, and he said he prepared a New Year’s fortune for me!

The fortune said I’d have a “kinda lucky” year. I’ll believe it when I see it. 😛

Caroline offered me a free racer shirt, and I gladly accepted. It’ll go with my helmet!

I raced to put the shirt on, and I later stuffed my sandwich shirt into storage at my house.

Today, Drift told me he was so pumped that he was going to practice figure skating until he’s sick. He then told me that he was on a quest…for a cockroach.

He then said he was so far from home, and he hoped he wasn’t lost. But this was only a few feet from his house, just a 5-second walk or so. 😛 Filbert might be the weirdest dude in town, but Drift can be pretty odd himself.

Tank wanted a new catchphrase to replace “yip yip,” so I told him to say “in 2025” instead. He actually used it in a fairly appropriate way (with confetti), although this definitely isn’t going to be one of my funnier phrases.

If you haven’t yet seen my video taking a look back at my 2024 in Animal Crossing (spanning all five core/worldwide AC games), check it out!

I’ll be back with another entry next week. Happy New Year!

Thursday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO. It was my 40th UFO shot down in Wild World!

When I spoke with Filbert, he told me that my face reminds him of some frothy chamomile tea. Never stop being weird, Filbert.

Once I gathered up the five missing UFO parts for Gulliver, I took them back to him. He rewarded me with some chocolates. It was my third time getting chocolates from him, so I didn’t really need them. But I guess it is kinda fitting to get chocolates during Christmas week, so thanks, Gulliver! (Just give me the tribal mask next time!)

Yesterday, I saw a large fish shadow in the ocean. I got my fishing rod out and caught myself a big tuna.

Truffles told me that Tom Nook saves bells like I wouldn’t believe; she said he’s neurotic! I don’t think that’s the right word, though. Maybe he’s frugal or greedy, sure.

Well, Truffles, let me explain it in a way that you might relate to. Maybe he’s just a pig with money, and he hogs all the bells for himself. He brings home the bacon and keeps it there! Oh, and you should see his pork-folio! (He even owns a bunch of Ham-azon stock.) 🐖

Tonight, Drift said that seeing people jogging on sandy beaches reminds him of the days when he used to bench-press killer whales!

Yeah, right! That’s a whale of a tale. He’s drifting far from the truth; that’s probably the least believable thing he’s ever said.

I later listened in on a conversation between my squirrels, Filbert and Caroline. It started out with Filbert asking Caroline if she liked him.

But then it got weird. Caroline called him unambitious, Filbert claimed he made a cape to become Fashion Lad, Caroline swore to defend scrunchies to the death, Caroline challenged him to a fight, and Filbert said Caroline is pretty enough to get away with wearing any sort of atrocious fashion. It was wild. 😆

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider to play a song for me. He performed K.K. Dixie, which isn’t one of my favorites, but it was alright.

If you’re looking for a video to watch, even though it’s not Wild World, I posted a new City Folk Moments video today. Check it out, and have a good weekend and New Year! See you next time!

On Wednesday, Drift was talking about the snow being lazy and loafing around.

Then he said it reminds him of me! How rude!

Caroline then told me to watch out for girls who have a lot of flowers in their gardens!

She warned me never to trust a green thumb! 😆

Today, Filbert told me that he was pretty indifferent towards Bones and Curt. But then when I (immediately) spoke to him again, he suddenly had an urgent delivery for Curt!

Why would he be sending a gift to Curt (let alone an “urgent” one) when he feels indifferent towards him? 😛 But I took the gift (a five-ball shirt) over to Curt, and he was impressed by it. Filbert then rewarded me with 510 bells.

Truffles said that seeing all the snow around makes her sad…

But not for a reason I’d expect. She’s sad because she thinks it’s going to be gone in a few days! Ha!

Over at town hall, I found an arctic camo (shirt) in the recycle bin. I also put some money into my savings account, and my balance reached 14 million bells.
