Today, Teddy told me he wants clothes from Jingle on Toy Day. Yesterday, he told me he wanted something purple…so I’m guessing he wants purple clothes.

I also spoke with Kidd, and he mentioned that people think he and Tabby are cousins.

The most interesting part is that he didn’t deny it! Who wouldn’t deny being related to Tabby? Even if it was true! But he said he wants to protect Tabby’s privacy. Wow, I never would have guessed. You should have kept that info to yourself, Kidd.

Up on Main Street, Luna told me that Melina from Bluebell was my most recent dream visitor. And Gracie has a holiday dress available, in case anyone wants to dress up like a Christmas tree.

Speaking of holiday clothes, Beth submitted a Christmas tree sweater and a girls’ Santa dress to the QR Codes page, so be sure to check those out if you want to feel festive.

From my main bridge, I spotted a large shadow in the river. I fished it out, and it was a stringfish. That’s my first one!

Katrina was in town, so I paid her 500 bells to tell my fortune. She told me that an official top will be the key to avoiding disaster. I really don’t care about her fortunes that much… At this point, I’m just doing them so I can get her to open up her shop on Main Street. I’m not sure how many more fortunes I need, but I’ll be sure to let you know when it happens.

I then did some fishing in the ocean. After a while, I found what I was looking for: an oarfish!

That means I’ve now caught every fish in the game!

I took both of my new catches and donated them to the museum, but Blathers didn’t say anything about the fish collection being complete! My list (which I filled out after donating each fish) seems to be complete, so I don’t think I’ve missed donating one.

I noticed that the bulletin board on the outside of the museum lists fish and diving catches together, though. So maybe I have to catch all of the diving creatures as well before he considers that collection complete. I should also be getting a new badge from Phineas sometime soon, too.

In case you’re wondering why I was able to complete my fish collection when the loach is only out in the spring (March through May), it’s because I got the game early and started my adventure back in May. For the record, I do not time travel.

After checking my mail today (“Mom” sent me a perfect orange), I went up to the Happy Homes Showcase to check out a StreetPass home I got. But there was also a new SpotPass house there, belonging to Helene from Kebec.

Her house was really nice, but what really jumped out at me was one of her badges. She has the gold StreetPass badge, which means she’s StreetPassed over 1,000 New Leaf players already! How is that even possible? That’s mind-boggling to me.

When I returned to my town, I spotted Saharah. I paid her for new wallpaper and carpet, and she installed an ancient wall and a sidewalk. It’s an odd combination, but I do like the ancient wall. I put it into storage for future use, but I decided I would sell the sidewalk (even though it looks nice too).

As soon as I put my previous wallpaper and carpet back up, Molly barged in.

She brought me a lemon to eat. Uh…thanks?

Once she left, I saw Teddy outside. He was flapping his arms like a chicken! Apparently he was mad for some reason, but he didn’t want to talk about it.

After I was done watering my flowers, I headed up to Main Street. Luna told me that Kitten from Milani was my most recent dream visitor.

And at the Emporium, the Nooklings had a Jingle sofa for sale. Apparently the Jingle set will be sold at the store throughout December, just like the harvest furniture was sold in November and the spooky set was sold in October.

The Able Sisters also got into the Christmas spirit by selling this Santa hat. Yes, it is called a Santa hat and not a festive hat in New Leaf.

I bought the Santa hat and returned to my town. Two of animals told me what they want for Toy Day. Teddy told me he wanted something purple, and Big Top asked for wallpaper. I’m keeping notes of all these clues, because I’m sure they’ll come in handy when Toy Day arrives.

When I saw Teddy again, he pinged me and suggested a new public works project: a torch!

This is what it looks like:

I’m hoping someone will suggest an illuminated tree sometime soon. It resembles an outdoor Christmas tree, so it would be perfect for this time of year.

Today is December 1st, and the new month brings some changes. There are new fish to catch, the mushrooms stop appearing, harvest furniture is no longer sold, and there’s a new DLC. I stopped at the post office to ask for the new item and Pelly gave me this new tree stump chair. It can be ordered from the catalog, which is always a good thing.

And villagers may mention the upcoming Toy Day, along with a clue as to what they want. Aurora told me that she wanted something black for Christmas. Alright. Coal it is!

December also brings new inventory for GracieGrace up on the third floor of T&T Emporium. Gracie now has gorgeous furniture for sale. This is the only furniture set of Gracie’s that I actually like. But still, it’s hard to justify the cost. This gorgeous bed was 300,000 bells.

At the cafe, Kabuki (an out-of-towner) came in for some coffee. Kabuki is one cool cat.

My campsite was occupied once again today, this time with Elmer the horse. My town is already full with ten villagers, so Elmer had no chance of sticking around.

But speaking of villagers sticking around, Kidd told me that he was planning on moving out of town tomorrow! That’s not much of a warning!

I like Kidd, so I asked him to stay. Fortunately, he agreed.

Over by town hall, I spoke with Big Top. For reasons unknown, he was talking about how holes in pants are cool and awesome. Perhaps he split his pants, and he was trying to act like it was done on purpose.

I did some fishing and caught two of December’s new fish. I caught a sea butterfly from the ocean and a pond smelt from the river.

Luna told me that Louise from Paradise was my most recent dream visitor.

And I went to check out my friend Skye’s new town. Her town layout is really unique; her river is located entirely in the right half of town. It’s a pretty cool town, though. And she’s fortunate enough to have Goldie as a villager.
