Sunday Snowy Sunday

This morning, Big Top tried to tell me he was moving out of town on December 19th. Not so fast, big guy…

Big Top: Oh, Mr. J! Don't freak out, but I'm planning on moving away on the 19th of this month.When I found Joan, she was selling turnips for 109 bells each. I believe that’s the maximum amount she can charge…ouch. So much for a holiday discount. I bought 3,000 turnips from her.

Joan: The asking price is 109 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?The Able Sisters finally had a Santa hat on sale, so I bought it to complete my Santa suit.

Buying the Santa hat to complete my outfit.
Does it make me look like a ho ho ho?

I also got my frosty ice brick pattern out of storage and used it as my path. The first version of that path is available on the QR Codes – Paths page, but I’ve added a white pixel to each corner to make the bricks look a bit rounded.

When I found the two snowballs in town today, I decided to build another snowmam. Even though my first one is still around, today is her last day in this world. The new snowmam talked about how I made her well, but she still wasn’t perfect. So she requires five snowflakes for ice furniture. Bummer.

Snowmam: I'm very pleased you made me with such beauty and refinement!Rolf asked me for an ocean fish, so I went down to the sea to find him a fishy. I caught an olive flounder…good enough. I took it back to him and he rewarded me with a tropical tank! We’re in the middle of a blizzard, dude, I can’t wear this! You have a fur coat, so you could get away with it, but I can’t!

Rolf: Oh, right. I need to thank you! Please take my fancy tropical tank!I noticed I hadn’t seen much of Kabuki lately, so I went to see what was up with him. Turns out that he’s sick! Fortunately, the shop was still open, so I bought some medicine for him. Get well soon!

Kabuki: ...Thanks for that, bucko... Meooo-OH...

December Fishing Tournament

The December fishing tournament was held today, and many of the villagers were participating, or at least talking about the event.

Big Top: Here, fishy, fishy, fishy! I won't eat you, I promise!Amelia advised me to think like a fish. So I started making fish faces and saying “glub glub.”

Amelia: In order to catch a fish, you have to THINK like a fish.But she warned me that if I started smelling like a fish, I’ve gone too far. So I sniffed myself to make sure. Good news: I smelled like a sweaty Santa. What a relief.

Amelia: If you find yourself SMELLING like a fish, then you've taken it too far.As I made my way around town, I dug up a gyroid. That in itself isn’t all that noteworthy, but this time I noticed that it was a tootoid…a farting gyroid. I chose not to sniff it.

Look! I dug up a mini tootoid!But the reason the tootoid caught my attention was that I’ve long wanted a fourth tootoid to put in Club LOL. And now I have it. UPDATE: Actually, it turns out the third one is a mini dekkoid…so I still need one more tootoid. My bad!

Standing with the gyroids on stage.Back in town, I found two snowballs not too far from each other. I wanted to build a (bingo) snowman, but I made it too small and ended up with a snowboy instead. The good news was that he was perfect, so he’ll be sending me a piece of snowman furniture in the mail tomorrow.

Snowboy: This head! This body! This is exactly the perfect balance I love!Once I completed my walk around town, I went to get some fish for Chip. I caught one sea bass, but I mainly just used fish I already had at my dock box. I set the high score five times. Here’s a list of the fish I used, how big they were, and my reward for each:

  • sea bass, 34.95 inches — washbasin
  • sea bass, 37.75 inches — soda case
  • ribbon eel, 49.50 inches — crab clock
  • shark, 200.80 inches — exotic bureau
  • whale shark, 234.20 inches — sleek dresser

Chip: Mmm-hmm. Looks to be... 234.20 inches!So four of my five prizes were just regular furniture items. Disappointing.

Later on, I attended the ceremony, where I was awarded the gold fishing trophy. Agent S finished in second place, while Amelia came in third.

The fishing tournament winners' ceremony.Shortly before 9:00, I spotted the northern lights for the first time this winter.

The northern lights above Re-Tail.The northern lights above the train station.I then finished up my night with K.K.; he performed Surfin’ K.K. for me at Club LOL.

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!
