Between Holidays

On December 18th, I saw the northern lights up in the sky as I played to collect more Toy Day hints.

The northern lights shine in the sky above a decorated cedar tree.

Inkwell told me he wanted something orange for Toy Day.

Inkwell: This year I'm hoping my Toy Day present is orange!
You want yourself?

Two days later, Inkwell asked me for a piece of fruit. I gave him a perfect peach, and he gave me a computer in return! A new computer for a piece of fruit?? Why can’t we ever make trades like that in real life? 😉

Inkwell: Thanks for finding the fruit for me! I'd like you to have a reward--my computer.

I was (eventually) able to collect 19 of the 20 possible Toy Day hints. I figured that should be enough. So when the 24th (Toy Day) rolled around, I felt like I was ready for the challenge.

Jingle: Happy holidays! I'm Jingle, the black-nosed reindeer! Isn't this the best time of the year, kid?

He gave me the Santa bag to use, to start delivering gifts to all my villagers.

Boots: Holy holiday hamstrings! It's a present! I'm gonna open it!

I got a bit of a scare when Inkwell said this:

Inkwell: I didn't think I was gonna get what I wanted! But I did!
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

*Slippy Toad voice* I was worried for a moment. But it all ended up correct. Whew!

Jingle: Let's see... Yup, yup! You've indeed delivered everything perfectly, kid!

Here’s a list of what my villagers wanted, and what I gave them:

  • Aurora: blue toy (elephant slide)
  • Boots: white rug (birch flooring)
  • Cube: colorful umbrella (gelato umbrella)
  • Hornsby: red clothes (red warm-up suit)
  • Inkwell: orange furniture (grapefruit table)
  • Jeremiah: red lamp (polka-dot lamp)
  • Lolly: a white lamp (minimalist lamp)
  • Mira: yellow furniture (lemon table)
  • Molly: red furniture (juicy-apple clock)
  • Rolf: something orange (kitschy tile)

Jingle rewarded me with a festive wreath for a job well done. 🙂

Jingle: Since you did such a holly-jolly job, I'll give you a special little present. It's a festive wreath!

Today, I received a letter from Jingle, again thanking me for the help on Toy Day. He attached his photo to the letter.

With Christmas over, my villagers’ attention has switched to the upcoming New Year’s Eve countdown. Molly plans to clean up her house for the new year. And to be honest, she probably needs it. It’s a bit crowded in her room! 😛

Molly: I'm cleaning up my house to prepare for the big Countdown! I just can't start a new year with a dirty room.

Cesar the gorilla was camping at the campsite. My town is already full, but I don’t think I would willingly invite any gorilla into my town anyway.

Cesar, at the campsite: Even I think I'm a bit crazy for going camping out of town in this cold weather...

I ran into my old buddy Bob up on Main Street. Nice to see him around again, even if it was just to shop.

Bob: If it isn't Jeff! I came to do some shopping today, pthhpth.

Apparently, no one new has visited the dream version of Forest since my last entry. So I can’t give any shout-outs this time. 😛 But I hope you all had a good holiday, and I hope you have a great New Year’s Eve too! See you next year! 🎆

  1. Wait, Cesar’s in your campsite? Well the thing is that in one of my deleted CF towns, he used to be crush. Not anymore, but I still love him.
