I started up the game this evening and saw that some cedar trees now have Christmas lights on them. They looked quite nice.
As I walked around town, I saw Tabby. She pinged me and suggested a new public works project, a round streetlight. Wow, how many types of streetlights does this game have?
Apparently, it’s a snowball on a stick.
I then went up to Main Street, where Luna told me that Emily from Sheerio was my most recent dream visitor.
The Emporium had K.K. Love Song for sale. Surprisingly, it was actually a song I needed! It was actually the first K.K. song I ever heard in an Animal Crossing game; it was included as my “free gift” on the memory card of the original GameCube game back in 2002.
Anyway, I headed next door to Able Sisters, and they finally had a Santa coat for sale. I bought it up, and I believe this completes my Santa suit.
When I returned to town, I talked to Tabby again for some reason.
I went looking for my snowballs to make a snowman. For the first time, I had to push one over a bridge. That’s always nerve-racking, but the ball of snow survived.
Because of where the snowballs were, I didn’t want to risk pushing them all the way across town to be with my other snowmen. So I made this one near town hall, and its eyes rolled a 27 for me. It was a number I needed, and it put me only one hole away from a bingo.
I then returned to my other snowmen over by the plaza. One of them had passed away overnight, so only three of them remained. The first one gave me a 26, which I needed. It put me one hole away in two different directions. The next snowman gave me a 37…BINGO!
I scored it diagonally. Here is my winning bingo card:
As a reward, he gave me a ski rack. I’m not sure what I was expecting…
Apparently, the snowman took my winning bingo card when he gave me the ski rack. Because when I talked to the remaining snowman, he wouldn’t roll a new number for me because I didn’t have a bingo card. So I’ll have to make another bingo snowman tomorrow to get a new card. Anyway, this is what the ski rack looks like:
It’s an okay item, but it sure took an awful lot of work to get it.
Rolf told me he was going to move out on the 19th. I made him stay. Why is it always the animals I like that want to move out? Ugh.
Skye (the human) came over to punch a bingo card and to get signatures for a petition. When she was done, I wrapped up my game for the night. See you all next time, and good luck with your snowmen!
But before I started fishing, I made my usual rounds. I talked to villagers, watered my flowers, found the money rock, and made my trip up to Main Street. I bought a party popper at the Emporium, and updated my dream town. Luna informed me that my town has had over 3,000 dream visitors now. Thanks to everyone who has visited!
She also told me that Dan from Peloma was my most recent dream visitor. When I was done in the shopping district, I returned to town to go fishing. I caught several fish, which I donated in increasing size order. This is possible because New Leaf tells the sizes of the fish when you catch them. These are the four fish I gave to Chip, along with the reward he gave me for each:
Even though I sold the exercise bike before the tournament ended, I took a picture of my remaining prizes: the sea anemone bed, dotted wall, and crab clock.
With the tournament over, my focus turned to snowmen. I found my daily snowballs and built my fourth bingo snowman. I couldn’t help but think they looked a little creepy staring at me like this.
I then took my gold fishing trophy up to my trophy room on the second floor of the museum.
Later on, Skye (the human) came over to get her bingo card punched. I used the opportunity for a surprise attack with my party popper.
And after 8:00, I went up to Club LOL for some traditional K.K. I asked him for a random song and he performed K.K. Swing.
When I went to visit my previous snowmen, they let me reset their bingo balls.
I also built another bingo snowman near them; my numbers for today were 7, 24, and 46. But to get a good picture of all three, I had to cut down a tree. Fortunately (or is that unfortunately), the toppling tree didn’t damage the snowmen. Admit it, it would have been cool to witness a snowman screaming as a tree clobbered him. It’s a murder mister-tree!
But on the bright side, I got my picture of them all.
I then made my way up to Main Street. At the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Edward from Aquaria was my most recent dream visitor. If you haven’t yet seen Forest in the snow, my dream address is 4300-2003-9889. So feel free to visit in the dream world.
At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. My town filled up instantly as Meli, Tiffiny, and Louis-S came over to visit. As I said hello to everyone, I accidentally erased a tile as I took this picture.
After stopping at the snowmen so some of them could get their bingo cards stamped, we hung out at my house for a while. Louis dubbed me the Dancing Santa.
When we went outside, Louis suggested we do a little swimming. So Dancing Santa became Diving Santa.
And it wouldn’t be a Forest party if Tabby didn’t get hammered.
We went up to Club LOL for some dancing. Yuka and Rolf joined us there, too. Rolf was really getting into it, shaking that tiger butt of his.
Louis left shortly before 11:00, and Jessica came over to take his place. We headed out to the island, where we did some tours. The tour selection wasn’t very good today, but we went on two bug-catching tours and one labyrinth (maze) tour. We failed the labyrinth one, but we got gold Tortimer awards for both bug tours: Jessica won the first one and Tiffiny won the second one.
Once we returned to the mainland, we went back over to the snowmen so Jessica could check her numbers. The sky was very clear tonight, so this made for a very nice pic of the snowmen and the moon.
Meli sat on my town tree to view my town history. She soon found out it was a violent history.
Tiffiny left before midnight, and Rodney came over to take her place. He’s a person who had trouble connecting with me before, but he was finally able to visit tonight. Anyway, I invited them all over to the modern clock to see it light up at midnight.
Forest’s violent history soon become Forest’s violent present, as we all got our toy hammers out.
A bit later, the Santas were sitting on the metal bench when I realized we were actually on a sleigh. So we called in a reindeer to get this sleigh off the ground.
We took turns being the reindeer, but nothing would work. Not even Rodney the red-nosed reindeer could save us. Even with three reindeer and no Santa, this sleigh was grounded.
Around 12:35, I ended the party for the night. I had a good time, and it was nice to see Forest with a full house virtually the whole time. Have a great weekend, everyone!
