Rolf’s Petition

Last night, I stopped to take another look at Velma’s igloo. It was lit up from the inside and looked really pretty.

Velma's beautiful igloo illuminated at night.I found a lost item near the town tree, and I eventually tracked down its owner, Teddy. He said it was a good thing that I found it instead of an evil genius. Excuse me? What makes you so sure I’m not?

Teddy: Ha ha! I'm glad it was you who found this instead of some evil genius! Oh pooh.Then today, I got my basic painting in the mail from Crazy Redd. I took it up to Blathers, and he informed me that it was a fake. What a disappointment.

Blatyhers: Oh dear! Upon closer examination, I have some grave news to share with you, Jeff! It's a fake!Rolf asked me to collect signatures for a petition called “Against Judging Faces.” Tom invited me over to his town to get his bingo numbers, so I decided to try collecting the signatures there. He had some interesting tiles that seem to warp when you walk across them.

Tom's path tiles that seem to move when you walk across them.Three of his four snowmen had numbers I needed, so I got them all. I’m still one number short of a bingo, though.

Snowman: So close! I sincerely hope you get a bingo with your next number. If I could, I would cross my fingers!Quite a few of his villagers were already in bed, but I found enough to complete my petition. Apollo, Sylvia, Marshal, Amelia, Cheri, and Angus joined the cause.

Petition signatures: Apollo, Sylvia, Marshal, Amelia, Cheri, Angus.It would have been funny to have that petition signed only by ugly animals (Jambette, Tabby, Katt, Hazel, Beardo, etc.). But ain’t nobody got time for that.

Anyway, I returned to Forest to look for Rolf. But first, I stopped in Kidd’s house. He told me not to look in his dresser, because that’s where he keeps his baby binky. 😮

Kidd: That's where I keep my baby binky and...wait. I don't mean that!Soon after that, I found Rolf and gave him the completed petition. He rewarded me with his picture again!

Rolf: As a thank-you gift, you can have my Rolf's pic!I continued catching snowflakes and trading them in for ice furniture. That helped my bank account balance top four million bells for the first time.

Your current balance is 4,035,000 bells.I spoke with Teddy, and he told me that he’s afraid of his own strength. He may be strong, but he’ll always be a big teddy bear to me.

Teddy: I'm starting to become afraid of my own strength... Seriously, bro.At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest and Patty came over to visit. After she shopped at GracieGrace, she showed me her new look.

Patty's new look.We hung out for a while and she left around 10:45. By 11:00, I closed my gate for the night. I was surprised nobody else came. I don’t know if they were having trouble connecting, or if just nobody was interested in visiting.

At any rate, I plan on opening my gate on New Year’s Eve Tuesday night. I’m not sure what time it will be, but possibly 11:00 or 11:30 Eastern Standard Time. I don’t plan on opening my gate next Friday.

That’s all I have for now. Have a great weekend!

Kadomatsu DLC

I was surprised to see Pete at my door when I started up the game today.

Pete: I have an express delivery for you from Nintendo.He gave me a new DLC item called a kadomatsu. Here’s a picture of it next to a snowman dresser that I also received in the mail today.

The kadomatsu DLC next to my snowman dresser.Right after taking that picture, Tabby (why her?) called out to me. Ugh. When I entered my main room, she barged in, saying nobody makes an entrance like her.

Tabby: Ta da! No one knows how to make an entrance like Tabby!
How about making an exit instead?

Once she left, I saw that there was an igloo over at the campsite. Velma was camping inside, but I saw no sign of Scooby-Doo.

Velma: I'm just visiting Forest. But who knows? This place is so beautiful, I just might move here.Crazy Redd’s tent was set up over by the event plaza, so I went inside and took a look. Two of the items he had were ones I already had in my museum, and another I knew was a fake. So I bought the only thing left, which was this basic painting.

Redd: Well, look at that! You've noticed that basic painting?!Over by town hall, I saw a new purple rose; I believe it’s my first one.

My first purple rose.And since today was the third straight day of snow, I got tired of seeing all these snowflakes fly by and not being able to catch them without filling up my pockets.

So I decided to make a snowmam, even though I already have the ice set. It’ll be an easy way to earn some extra money, since the ice furniture sells for 8,888 bells apiece. The idea became even better when I pushed the snowballs together and found out that she was a perfect snowmam. That means I’ll get 8,888 bells for every three snowflakes I catch! Good deal!

Snowmam: This balance... I'm perfect!When I went up to Main Street, I saw that Anya from the town of Heart was my most recent dream visitor. And I realized that all of the Christmas season went by without the Emporium ever carrying the large festive tree. Oh well, maybe I’ll get one next year.

Thank you for reading and come again soon! 🙂

Perfect Snowboy

First of all, let me say Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you’ve had a great holiday. Interestingly enough, New Leaf doesn’t do anything special for Christmas Day itself (only Christmas Eve). So it was back to business as I was able to work at the cafe today. An out-of-towner came in, Tangy. I almost expected her to ask for orange juice instead of coffee.

Tangy: I'm, like, totally dying for a cuppa! Can you get me a Blue Mountain?I rolled up today’s snowballs and I finally built a perfect snowboy.

Snowboy: You are AMAZING! Did you get that? AMAZING!The snowboy is essentially the snowman you know from earlier Animal Crossing games. Build him perfectly and he’ll send you a piece of snowman furniture in the mail the next day. So I’m looking forward to getting that from him tomorrow.

When I talked to Skye, she sang the town tune from her previous town Ruby.

Skye: I feel like singing Ruby's town tune! So here goes!After Kidd gave me a free hi-fi stereo as a gift, he asked to visit my house. So I told him to come over at 6:30. I actually remembered to be home when the time came, so he checked out all my rooms.

Kidd: At last, time for me and you to do some serious crafting... Er, just kidding! Heh heh...After that, Tom41 came over for a short visit. However, he claimed that he was the real Santa when I’m clearly the real one.

Tom41: I'm the real Santa, lol.He talked to my snowmen, and my #22 gave him a bingo! Congrats, fake Santa Tom! He left soon after that, though.

Tom celebrates a bingo.One of my villagers gave me a lovely chair, and I had it customized to be pink and black. Definitely an improvement. I like to keep a piece of customized furniture in my pockets in case any of my villagers asks for furniture.

Take home the lovely chair?And later on, Hannah came over to visit. Hannah has been on my City Folk roster for years, and when Bob first moved into my ACCF town, he came from Hannah’s town. But today was her first visit to my New Leaf town.

Hannah: We look so Christmassy.She checked out my house and explored my town, and she seemed to like it. Even though it’s Christmas, I still gave her a traditional Forest greeting, courtesy of my toy hammer.

Animated GIF of me smacking Hannah with a toy hammer.I’ll be back with more tomorrow. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!
