New Year’s Day

Pete met me outside of my house today and gave me a letter from Nintendo. It contained a new DLC item, which is another Japanese item called a kagamimochi.

Pete: I have an express delivery for you from Nintendo.There was also another DLC item, a sunrise lamp, available at the post office. Here is a picture of both items; the kagamimochi is next to me and the sunrise lamp is on the wall.

January 2014 DLC: The kagamimochi and sunrise lamp.Fortunately, both items can be re-ordered from the catalog. As I made my way around town, I talked to Tabby. She told me that her new year’s resolution was to be more sparkly. I guess she’s turning into a vampire.

Tabby: Happy New Year! Got any resolutions? One of mine is to be more sparkly this year!Rolf asked me for an orange, so I gave him a perfect one. He liked it so much that he almost choked on it.

Rolf: ...Urk! HACK HACK COUGH! I got so excited, I swallowed some the wrong way!He gave me a rubber tree as a reward. Over by the event plaza, Isabelle was standing there once again today. She started talking about horses, and I didn’t understand why at first. But then I realized 2014 is the year of the horse in the Chinese zodiac.

Isabelle: Horses work so hard for us, but they don't really get a special day just for them.She then gave me a zodiac horse to mark New Horse Year’s Day.

The zodiac horse.
Look at my horse. My horse is amazing.

Today was my day to build a snowtyke, so I did. The snowtyke and the snowman seem to be the easiest snowpeople to build, at least for me. He commented on how his mom looks weird, and she immediately grounded him.

Snowtyke: Mom looks a little weird, but other than that we're a great snowfamily!That’s actually a good thing for me though, because it means I should be getting a different item from him in the mail tomorrow. But we’ll see. Here is a picture of the full snowfamily.

The snowfamily in town.Late last night, I was (indirectly) reminded on Tumblr that I could purchase extra hats from Crazy Redd. Not everyone has the same color hats in their towns, so I thought buying a few extras would be a good idea. For now, I put one of each up for sale in my Re-Tail. So any of my Wi-Fi visitors can buy them if they need them.

New Year's hats on sale at Re-Tail.Later on, Wendy and I played on Wi-Fi for the first time in quite a while. First, she visited my town. She sold some fruit and went shopping. I’m starting to buy some items just for the purpose of having them listed in my catalog (even if they can’t be ordered from the catalog). So I bought these cow clothes and Wendy and I both had the same idea.

Jeff and Wendy, in unison: Moo.And we took a picture over at the New Year’s Day face cutout standee. What a couple of firecrackers.

Using the New Year's day face cutout standee.I noticed it was almost 8:00, so we waited a minute or two for the modern clock to come to life. Happy New Hour!

Jeff: Happy new hour!We then headed to Wendy’s town, Oakville. I went to her Re-Tail and sold 54 perfect peaches for 162,000 bells. I talked with Kabuki a few times; I want to steal him, but Wendy won’t let me.

Kabuki: I'm happy I get to start off the new year by seeing your energetic smile, Jeff! Glad you're my friend!After hanging out for a while, I returned home to Forest and ended my game. I hope your New Year’s Day was a good one! I’ll be back with more tomorrow, so please visit again!
