Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Christmas Eve, known as Toy Day in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, is here! I met up with Jingle the black-nosed reindeer in my town this evening.

Jingle reminded me of something that I had forgotten about…I need a Santa outfit! So I went up to Able Sisters and bought the Santa coat, hat, pants, and beard.

I then went next door to buy the Santa boots, but I was shocked to see that Kicks was closed already! It was only about 8:20 p.m., and I didn’t realize it closed so insanely early!

I returned to Jingle, and I was very relieved when he let it slide. Whew!

Jingle gave me the Santa bag, which had all of my villagers’ presents inside. I started with Rolf; he wanted a brown instrument, so I knew the folk guitar was for him.

Agent S got the astro wall, and I continued making delivers to all my villagers.

Here is the full list of what I gave all of my villagers:

• Agent S: orange wallpaper = astro wall
• Aurora: yellow toy = bingo wheel
• Big Top: orange furniture = grapefruit table
• Bones: gray household appliance = TV with a VCR
• Boots: black furniture = weight bench
• Hornsby: pink umbrella = candy umbrella
• Lolly: orange clothing = orange jacket
• Molly: orange home appliance = deluxe washer
• Rolf: brown instrument = folk guitar
• Vivian: gray outfit = gray tank

I returned to Jingle, and he confirmed that I made all of the deliveries correctly. It made him the happiest reindeer in the world.

He gave me a festive wreath for helping out, and I hung it up in my house.

My recent dream visitors were Rach from Duckston and Yoshi from Yoshi. Thanks for stopping by, and have a Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone! 🙂

Yesterday, Boots asked me to go fetch Big Top for him. So I did. Big Top wondered if Boots was mad for some reason, but it turns out Boots was just trying to make Big Top do some exercise!

As you might expect, Big Top was not happy about that.

Big Top stormed out of the house, and Boots gave me a compass for my trouble.

Today (December 21st) is the winter solstice, and the sun doesn’t come up at all. It’s dark from morning to night.

Isabelle was standing at the event plaza, freezing her butt off. 😛

She gave me a glow wand for the special occasion. In theory, the glow wand would help me see as I made my way around town in the dark. But it actually does no such thing; it just looks pretty.

Near Isabelle, there is a face-cutout standee for the winter solstice. I stuck my face through it for a picture.

I’ve been continuing to collect Toy Day hints, and I’ve now finished up my list! Here’s what everyone in Forest wants for Toy Day:

• Agent S: orange wallpaper
• Aurora: yellow toy
• Big Top: orange furniture
• Bones: gray household appliance
• Boots: black furniture
• Hornsby: pink umbrella
• Lolly: orange clothing
• Molly: orange home appliance
• Rolf: brown instrument
• Vivian: gray outfit

Vivian asked me to catch an ocean fish for her, so I went down to the ocean. The first fish I caught was a red snapper! That’s a relatively valuable fish to give to a villager, but I did it anyway to be nice. And Vivian repaid my kindness by giving me…a potty. Great.

When I spoke to Bones, he informed me that he’ll be moving out of town on December 29th. I’m letting him go. He’s been a good dog, but I’d prefer having villagers that stay up later at night.

My recent dream visitors have been Natalie from Florence, Kody from Booville, Max from Greenvil, and Luciana from Valencia. Thanks for stopping by! I’ll probably be back with another blog entry on Christmas Eve. Happy holidays, everyone!

Late on Sunday night, I started up the game. I saw a note on the bulletin board about the fishing tournament, but it didn’t say who won (like it normally would). It just said that the tournament had concluded. I’m guessing it was because I didn’t start up the game when Chip was still around.

Aurora asked me for some new furniture, and I gave her the best kind of furniture…a pizza! I bought it from a hippie (Harvey) at the campground, which is probably not the safest place to buy a pizza, but Aurora seemed to enjoy it. She rewarded me with a kiddie clock.

As of yesterday, snow now covers the ground in New Leaf (and other Animal Crossing games as well). I celebrated the arrival of winter by rolling up my first snowmam of the season.

I collected three snowflakes for her, and she gave me an ice vanity. I promptly sold it for a cool 8,888 bells.

My villagers have continued to give me Toy Day hints; Bones actually wants a household appliance for the holiday!

Here is my updated list of Toy Day hints, although I still have a long way to go before I collect them all!

• Bones: gray household appliance
  
• Hornsby: pink umbrella
  
• Lolly: orange clothing
• Rolf: brown instrument
• Vivian: something gray

Before ending my game for the day, I swapped out my green brick path for my wintry ice brick path. I forgot to take a picture, but it’s the same one I’ve been using for years. 😛

My recent dream visitors have been Molly from Cutie, Aram from Venus, Tava from Cloud 9, and Addie from Salem. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the snowy season! 🙂
