I got a letter from Jingle in the mail yesterday, thanking me again for the help on Christmas Eve. Since I made all of the deliveries perfectly, he sent me his picture along with the letter.

Today is Pashmina’s birthday, so I went in to wish her a good one. Bob was also there to help her celebrate. Wait, are they kissing?!

When I talked to her, Pashmina told me that Bob gave her a gigantic present! Ummm…

She asked if I had a present for her too. So I gave her a customized outdoor sign, and she seemed to enjoy it. That was a relief, because I sure wasn’t about to kiss her!

I also spoke with Bob, and he said he helped Pashmina set up the party last night. So he’s been here with her since last night?

I got another pack of Welcome Amiibo cards for Christmas; here’s a look at the cards I got this time.

I got Hopkins, Paolo, Maddie, Maggie, Candi, and Tad. Two of them (Paolo and Maddie) were duplicates that I already got in my first pack last week. Tad is probably my favorite of the bunch, but Candi has been a long-time resident of my GameCube town. So I decided to scan her card first.

She seems to be running a store in her camper. She has a merchandise table, a basic display stand, a shopping cart, a shopping bag, a store shelf, a modern cash register, and more.

Who said you can set up shop here? Do you have a license to run a business out of your RV, Candi?!

No, a driver’s license isn’t the same thing! Don’t make me push you into the river again, mouse lady!

Anyway, Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Miranda from Seacrest. Thanks for stopping by!

Yesterday, I got Hamlet’s goodbye letter in the mail. He included his picture as well. But to my surprise, I also had another letter from him. It said to go ahead and dig up the time capsule I buried for him a few weeks back.

So I dug it up and read the letter. It seems a bit sad seeing him talk to himself when he’s not even here any more.

I thought maybe I would wear the included shirt to remember him by…until I saw the shirt was a pink tartan shirt. I don’t miss him that much. 😛

Now that Hamlet is gone, a new animal started appearing on Main Street. That animal is Dizzy the elephant. He moved out of town back in April, so it was good to see him again.

I went around town, determined to get all of the Toy Day hints I could. While I couldn’t find Big Top anywhere, I did get both of everyone else’s clues. I figured that should be enough.

Today was Toy Day (Christmas Eve), and I soon met up with Jingle. He gave me the Santa bag, which was filled with gifts for the animal residents of Forest.

My job was to take each present to the correct villager. My first delivery went to Bob. He wanted green furniture, so I knew the lily-pad table had to be his. And indeed, it was.

Pashmina wanted pink wallpaper, so she got the lovely wall. Rolf wanted beige furniture, so I gave him the pine chair. I gave Aurora black clothing (BB tee) and Lily pink clothing (heart tee). Agent S wanted a black appliance, so she got the wide-screen TV.

At this point, I had two rugs left and an electric guitar. I checked my catalog at the Emporium to verify which rug was which color (when making a list, it’s good to check it twice). 😉 Molly got the kitschy tile for her orange carpet and Camofrog got birch flooring for his white carpet.

That left only one thing: An electric guitar for Big Top. He was thrilled with it, and my work was complete. But before I could return to Jingle, I noticed the northern lights up in the sky.

I soon tracked down the black-nosed reindeer, and he thanked me for all my help.

He then gave me a festive wreath, which I hung up in my house.

My recent dream visitors have been Em Bee from The Cove and Mayounna from Amy Rose.

Thank you all for reading, and I hope you have a great holiday! 🙂 If you happen to get a copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf for Christmas (either for the first time or for a 2nd town), remember to start off your character right with the face guide!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Yesterday was the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. In New Leaf, that means the sun doesn’t come out at all the entire day! But it was already after midnight by the time I played, so I didn’t even get to see Isabelle at the event plaza. The four-person face-cutout standee was still up, though.

Lily asked me if I enjoyed the winter solstice. I didn’t tell her I missed the event, but thanks for caring, Lily!

Next, I grabbed my Welcome Amiibo cards and scanned the Vivian card. I then headed over to the drive-in campground to check out her RV.

The most interesting item (to me, at least) was the hanging chair. I ordered one for my house.

And then today, Hamlet was all packed up and ready to move out of town. I made sure to say goodbye to the little guy. He sure has a lot of boxes!

I dropped off a Cinnamoroll sofa at Bunny’s town Tiger this evening. Her friend Emma also stopped by while I was there. Hope you enjoy the sofa, Bunny!

I tried getting ahold of Alex (and later Elliott), who had asked about adopting Hamlet, but I got no response. After four hours of waiting (in total), I gave up. In the future, please don’t ask me about a villager unless you’re serious about adopting them and you’re going to be around on the date of the move. (Unless something comes up, in which case you should let me know so I can find someone else instead of waiting all night).

I scanned another of my Amiibo cards, this one featuring Maddie the dog. Her RV is picnic themed. I like her swinging bench, although I didn’t order myself one.

There’s a new Nintendo Zone DLC, so I went to a “Nintendo Zone” and asked for the new item. Pelly gave me the barbecue bed, which was originally part of the 7/11 set released in Japan.

As you might expect, it can not be ordered from the catalog.

My latest dream visitors have been Rose from Nanuél and Chloe from Melody. Thanks for stopping by! I plan on participating in Toy Day on Christmas Eve, so check back on Saturday for another entry! Hope to see you then!

UPDATE: The Hamlet story has a happy ending after all! Bunny from Tiger contacted me in the comments and agreed to take him. 🙂 So I opened up Forest and she came over to adopt him. I’m glad to see he ended up in a good home. Enjoy your new friend, Bunny! 🙂
