Today is Christmas Eve, and I received a letter from Mom in the mail. She wished me happy holidays and sent me a lady palm as my Christmas present.
I also got a goodbye letter from Lucy the pig, who recently moved out of town.
Of course, snow now covers the ground and there are also Christmas lights on some trees. It was snowing tonight, so that adds to the festive atmosphere as well.
I visited Static in his house–it seems like he’s usually outdoors–and he was as jolly as ever. In other words, not jolly at all.
And just one acre to the north, I stumbled onto something I wasn’t happy to see. What’s the opposite of a Christmas miracle? Finding out Jambette just moved into town!
This is worse than receiving a lump of coal in my stocking; it’s the nightmare before Christmas! Fortunately, she was already asleep for the night, so I didn’t have to see her.
I continued to look for Jingle the reindeer, but I was having trouble finding him. Instead, I ran into Curly the pig. He told me was unable to clean up his house because a cactus was in the way! He wanted me to buy it for 3,680 bells. No way!
But after nearly 20 minutes of playing, I finally found Jingle!
Unlike later Animal Crossing games, getting stuff from Jingle on GameCube requires that you find him five times before you even get one piece of the Jingle set! After that, you just need to keep changing your shirt to fool him into thinking you’re different people. But since I’ve already acquired the set in previous years, I felt no need to go through hours of that tedious process tonight. I found him twice, just to get a taste of the holiday, but that’s all I could take of my deer friend.
Talking to Jingle from that angle let me see that coconut on the ground that was normally hidden from view. I wonder how long it’s been there! Years, quite possibly.
Well that’s all I have for now, but I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I’ll see you next time! 🙂
