Friday Night Forest for December

While I was working at the Roost today, Eugene came in for some coffee. So I…uh…let’s just say he didn’t get the drink he was expecting.

Eugene: ..Ugh. This really isn't my favorite.Up at the Happy Homes Showcase, Joseph from Detroit gave me a red pinwheel.

Holding a pinwheel in the Happy Homes Showcase.In Re-Tail, I put two paintings up for sale in case any of my visitors tonight needed them.

Reese: All right then, I'll stick a price tag of 1,000 bells on this item.Shortly after 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Meli and Tiffiny came over to visit, and I showed them that Santa is not just some tall tale.

Giant Santa!
“I hope you have a really big chimney.”

Tiffiny said that she wanted to believe in Santa, but my brown hair and lack of Santa’s cap made her doubt my existence! I dejectedly sat on the metal bench alone; the area by the illuminated tree looks really nice this time of year.

Santa sitting on the bench.Jessica also came over to visit, so I then had a full house. And whenever Jessica visits, a hammer fight is never far behind.

A hammer fight with Jessica.After the fighting subsided a bit, we all wandered off on our own. Jessica commented on my yellow brick road, and I told her to follow it. It led her to me…and my hammer. Round two! Fight!

A hammer fight near the pyramid.This time, it turned into a major brawl.

Everybody was fighting.But before long, Jessica couldn’t take it any more wanted to end the violence. Even though she was the one that started it. 🙂

 Jessica: What an aggressive party.So we went out to the island for some tours. Maybe I was seeing things, but I thought I saw Meli get into the boat next to me, and then she got back out! Is that even possible?

Once on the island, we started out with an item-matching tour.

I dug up a minimalist vanity!Notice how Jessica said “i need shower” in that picture? Yeah, I thought I smelled something funny on the boat ride over.

Jeff: I thought someone smelled bad!We finished the tour with hardly any time left on the clock at all. Tortimer gave us bronze Tortimer awards and only two medals. For all that work? For being so cheap with the medals, Santa’s going to make sure he gets coal in his stocking.

Jeff: 2 medals? Torty's gettin' coal!We did a little better on the next game, a gardening tour. We got silver Tortimer awards and five medals.

Celebrating a successful gardening tour.We then went on two fishing tours.

Santa looks disinterested by the fishing.I only got third place on the first one, but I actually won the second one. On that one, we won gold Tortimer awards and eight medals. Maybe because that was the first one where I pulled my own weight. And speaking of weight, is Meli weightless? Because it looks like she was walking on water.

Meli walks on water?After that, Jessica had to go, so we returned to Forest.

Arriving back on the mainland.The rest of us went to my house, where Tiffiny trapped Meli on the toilet. And I trapped Tiffiny trapping Meli on the toilet. But Meli just wanted some toilet paper. I told her maybe if she’s good, she’ll get some in her stocking in two weeks. Hope she can wait that long.

Santa Jeff: You want TP for Christmas?Upstairs, I have four mannequins, and three of them are dressed as Pikmin. As for the other one, Meli had a hard time believing it was a Pikmin too. Don’t worry, it’ll be in the sequel. Pikmin 666. For Super Wii U U U 64.

Meli: Which Pikmin is this?Once we were done in my house, Tiffiny was writing something on the bulletin board as Meli and I went up to Club LOL.

Me and Meli in Club LOL.Things got a little awkward when I saw myself on TV.

My face appearing on the screen behind DJ K.K.But the mere mention of TV had Meli asking me Santa for a TV for Christmas. But she refused to leave me any milk and cookies! That got her on the naughty list, so I told her she’ll be getting no TV and no TP either.

A few minutes later, Meli said she was leaving for the night. Since it was already 11:45 or so, I decided to say goodnight and end the session.

As I came out of the train station, I checked the bulletin board and I could see why Tiffiny was typing for so long: She drew a Christmas tree! It’s like a Christmas card on the bulletin board! Thank you, Tiffiny, that’s awesome! Merry Christmas to you (and everyone else) too! 🙂

Tiffiny's text art: Merry Christmas Jeff!Before I shut the game off, I saw Saharah in town. So I hired her to put in new wallpaper and carpeting, and she installed this chic wall and classic carpet in my house.

A chic wall and classic carpet.I had a good time tonight, so thank you to Meli, Tiffiny, and Jessica for visiting. And thank you all for reading this blog. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Just a reminder: I’m on Facebook, Youtube, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Twitter. Please follow, like, or subscribe for Animal Crossing/video game related pics and posts on each of those sites. Thank you!

The Snow is Here!

Winter is here, as snow now covers the ground and trees.

Snow on the ground and trees!This morning, Re-Tail was buying turnips for 138 bells each. Since the week is winding down, I decided to sell about two-thirds of my turnips at that price. In the afternoon, the price went up even further, to 183 bells. So I sold the rest of my turnips and then put all of my money into my bank account. My balance topped 29 million bells.

Your current balance is 29,270,000 bells.Amelia told me she was going to move out of town on December 14th. The cool part was how she said it: She said that winter puts her in a migrating mood. Hats off to Nintendo for that clever bit of writing.

Amelia: I'm moving away from Forest on the 14th of this month. Winter puts me in a migrating mood.I told Amelia to stick around, though. I already have all ten of my villagers’ Toy Day hints, and nothing is going to mess that up.

The winter brings snowballs that can be found around town. Do you wanna build a snowmam? Even though my snowpeople-building skills were a bit rusty, I surprised myself by pushing two snowballs together just right to make a perfect snowmam!

Snowmam: Oh my! I wonder who made this perfectly sculpted figure of mine!A regular snowmam will give you a piece of ice furniture in exchange for five snowflakes, but a perfect snowmam only requires three snowflakes.

Snowmam: If you can find and bring me 3 snowflakes, I will reward you handsomely.I had two already, but I quickly found a third to give her. In exchange, she gave me an ice closet. Each piece of ice furniture sells for 8,888 bells, so catching snowflakes can be quite lucrative.

Up on Main Street, I bought a Santa coat from Able Sisters and some Santa boots from Kicks. All I need now is the hat.

Getting dressed up as Santa.Tomorrow is Friday Night Forest, so the people on my friend roster can visit when I open my gate around 10 pm Eastern time (7pm Pacific time). Bring your snowflakes, because my snowmam will still be alive and well! I’ll be back late tomorrow night with another blog entry. See you then!

Nintendo of Japan Dream Town

Today is the day of the big snowstorm in Animal Crossing, and it will result in the ground being covered in snow starting tomorrow.

The big snowstorm.Over by the Roost, I found a lost item on the ground.

A lost item on the ground.Amelia was nearby, but the item didn’t belong to her. However, just a few feet away, I found the item’s rightful owner: Agent S! She was happy to get her fancy pouch back, and she rewarded me with a stove.

Agent S: I don't have much to give you in thanks, but I hope you won't mind a stove...Down on the beach, Gulliver was talking about matadors and bulls. He’s headed to Spain, and he’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.

Gulliver: You've also got the dangerous and exciting birthplace of matadors. Such daring and bravery!Drago may breathe fire, but the snow cools him off.

Drago: I breathe fire! Playing in the snow really chills me out, nutella.He asked me to catch an ocean fish for him, so I went and found a squid for him. He thanked me by giving me a future tank. It’s not exactly good weather for a tank top, now is it?

Drago: It's a future tank! Hope you like it!I then went up to Main Street. In the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Meg Rowe from New Leaf was my most recent dream visitor. In Able Sisters, I bought a Santa beard before using the big sewing machine. This design is a retro gamer tee designed by Mike. It has a NES controller on the front and Mario on the back. If you’d like this shirt, it’s available on the QR Codes page. Thanks, Mike!

Wearing a retro gamer tee.I later returned to the Dream Suite, where I dreamed of Nintendo of Japan’s official dream town. TZ recommended the town to me back in September. The town has lots of flowers everywhere, and I stopped for a picnic with some gyroids.

A gyroid picnic.There are a lot of face cutout standees of Nintendo characters, including the cat suit from Super Mario 3D World. Me-YOWZA!

Cat Mario face-cutout standee.The houses and rooms are also based on Nintendo characters or games. This must be Toad’s shroom room.

Toad's mush room.And somehow I ended up in Bowser’s castle! I should have dressed for the occasion, but I’m still in my pajamas.

Bowser's castle in Nintendo's dream town.There’s even a Tomodachi Life room! Oh Mii, oh my!

A Tomodachi Life room in Nintendo's New Leaf dream town.Wendell lets you take all these patterns home with you, including the ones for the face-cutout standees. It’s a great town to visit, so give it a look if you haven’t seen it before. The dream address is 0000-0100-0017.
