‘Tis the Season

Once the snow started falling, I noticed that Harvey put on a St. Patrick’s Day green hat. 😛

Big Top won last weekend’s fishing tournament, while Hornbsy was 2nd and Aurora was 3rd.

Snow covered the ground as of December 11th, and just today, festive lights started appearing on some cedar trees. That motivated me to get my frosty ice brick path out of (design) storage.

Even though I didn’t fully decorate my house for the season, I at least put up my white festive tree in the main room of my house.

My villagers have been giving me more Toy Day hints, but I don’t have all of them yet. Here’s what I know so far about what the animals want:

  • Agent S: something gray
  • Aurora: an umbrella
  • Big Top: a black doll
  • Boots: a pink lamp
  • Hornsby: a red plant
  • Molly: carpet
  • Rolf: a pink umbrella
  • Vivian: something pink

Vivian: Oh! I almost forgot. What I really want from Jingle this year is a pink present.

I’m not even sure if I’m going to play on Christmas Eve. But if I have most or all of my hints by then, I may play since it generally doesn’t take too long when you know what everyone wants.

Rolf told me that he wanted to move away…on December 25th! On Christmas Day? No way, tiger. You’re stuck here in Forest, like it or not.

Rolf: The 25th of this month sounds as good a day as any to leave!

Vivian asked to visit my house, and I stupidly let her come over. Even though she repeatedly said she would only visit for a minute, she hung around for at least 20 minutes. Why did I ever agree to this?

Vivian: Thanks for inviting me inside. I'll only be a minute--don't break out the hot cider or anything.

Not only that, but in my room full of monster masks, she said the room was SO me! Excuse me?! You’re the one that belongs in here, werewolf girl!

Vivian: Muffin, this room is SO you!

My recent dream visitors have been Oscar from Nugville, Alfredo from Smithson, Jake from Poketown, JenJen from Tall Oak, Abriana from MistWood, and Xavier from Quigley. Thank you all for visiting, and have a good weekend! 🙂

Shopping for Campers

Last Saturday, I got Lily’s goodbye letter in the mail. She included her picture with the letter. With Lily gone, I’ve now started to see Daisy up on Main Street! She’s a good dog.

Daisy: This is a nice part of town for both shopping and just taking a casual stroll around, bow-WOW.I forgot to mention this last time… But now that December is here, the shop sells glow wands and party poppers. I already have one of each glow wand in storage, but I always enjoy firing off party poppers.

Tommy: Ah, a party popper! A fine item, yes?I found Hornsby sleeping on the metal bench one night. He said he was brainstorming ways to stay awake, and it was so boring that he fell asleep. 😛

Hornsby: I'm awake now! I promise!Hornsby: I was brainstorming ways to stay awake, and it was so boring that I immediately fell asleep.Now that Forest has a villager vacancy, that means I’m able to “shop” for one each time there’s a camper in town. And I’ve actually had a couple of campers this past week. Unfortunately, they haven’t been anyone that I’ve wanted to invite to town.

Alice: Hello. I hope it's all right that I've decided to camp here. You have a lovely town.
No thanks.
Lucha: I'm not anyong suspicious!
Nope.

Still, it’s nice to have the option. My town has been full for so long that I haven’t had the opportunity for ages.

Today, I found a lost item on the ground.

I started asking my villagers about it, and I soon reunited it with its owner, Rolf. For returning the item (a book), Rolf gave me a checkered tee.

Rolf: Man, you saved my life!

When I ran into Bob, he told me he would be moving away on December 16th. But I changed his mind for him. I’m not letting him leave…yet.

I’ve been asked to include a link to my first New Leaf entry, so here it is: Moving In. Check it out if you’d like to relive the early days of Forest.

My recent dream visitors have been Dan from Yolk, Logan from New Leaf, Alfredo from Smithson, Wayland from Waypoint, Lily from Animala, and Kimo from Kaorie. Thank you all for stopping by, and have a great weekend!

Frog Gone

On Tuesday, the first snow flurries of the season fell in Forest. Winter is coming!

Snow flurries fall in Forest.December is here now, and villagers have already started giving hints for Toy Day gifts. Agent S told me she wants a gray present, and Aurora said she wants an umbrella.

Aurora: I plan on asking Jingle for a cute umbrella this year.

Today was Lily’s last day in town, so I made sure to say goodbye to her. As of tomorrow morning, Forest will be frog-free for the first time in over a year.

Lily: We won't be living in the same town anymore, but I hope you never forget me!

But unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find a new home for her. Elliott, who asked for Lily on Twitter the other day, never responded tonight even though it showed he was online playing New Leaf. Cohen, who also expressed interest in Lily, had to cancel when Flurry moved into his town.

When I visited Big Top, he said it was time to dig up the time capsule! It’s been exactly one month since I buried it.

Big Top: A huh huh huh... I'm thinking it might be time to open up that time capsule.

I went to the northwest corner of town, dug up the time capsule, and returned to Big Top. There was a cycling tee inside, and he gave it to me as my reward. I was wheely excited.

Big Top: It's a cycling tee! Next time I bury a time capsule, I'll let you know, up my nose.
If you bury it up your nose, I’m not digging it out.

My recent dream visitors have been Kody from Berryton, Timber from Xing, Oliver from Nintendo, and Alex from V Nation. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!
