Sale Day Haul

Alli the gator has moved out of town since last time; I received her goodbye letter in the mail today.

Dearest Jeff! During my entire move, I was sure I was forgetting something. You know what it was? I forgot to say adieu to you. I hope this letter will ease your devastation... All the best! -Alli

In Acre C-4, I spotted a new house in the spot where Jane the gorilla once lived in the early days of Forest.

A clifftop house in Acre C-4.
Acre C-4 was about to yield an explosive revelation.

I thought to myself, “wouldn’t it be funny if Jane returned to the same exact spot where she lived before?” When I walked in, I couldn’t believe it. It was Jane!!! I audibly said to myself “Get out of here!” 😆😆😆

Jane: Oh, good evening to you. Tell me... Do I know you, chimp?

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t particularly like Jane. In fact, I always thought she was rude and annoying (as snooty villagers tend to be). But having her back after all this time, and especially living in the same exact spot, is kind of a nice dash of nostalgia that I certainly wasn’t expecting when I started up the game today. Welcome back, Jane. 🙂

Today is the day after Thanksgiving (also known as Black Friday), and Animal Crossing celebrates the occasion with a Sale Day at Nook’s shop. The first floor of Nookington’s is filled with grab bags, which can be purchased for 2,022 bells.

Tom Nook: That's a grab bag. The price is 2,022 bells.

I bought four grab bags, and each one contains three items. My 12-item haul included two furniture items, two wallpapers, one carpet, four pinwheels, and three shirts. Here’s the full haul:

  • reel-to-reel
  • exotic wardrobe
  • green wall
  • parlor wall
  • cabin rug
  • 2 green pinwheels
  • striped pinwheel
  • fancy pinwheel
  • puzzling shirt
  • five-ball shirt
  • caveman tunic

I kept the puzzling shirt and one of the green pinwheels. I don’t think I’ve ever thought about why this shirt was “puzzling,” but then it hit me like a ton of bricks: I think it’s supposed to look like a Rubik’s Cube!

It was snowing in town tonight, and Static said it was best to spend a night like this indoors with a cup of iced coffee, listening to some music. Sounds great to me! Maybe this is why I like Static so much. 😉

Static: ...it's best to stay in, drink a cup of iced coffee, and listen to some music.
OK, but why are you outdoors then? 😉

Baabara was also talking about the snow, and how beautiful it is. But she was enjoying it through the window, instead of being outside standing in it.

Baabara: The snow falling at night looks so picturesque!

She mentioned how quiet the snow is, and I think she was hinting that she wanted me to leave so she could enjoy it in silence. Fine by me. 😛

Baabara: Do you even get what I'm trying to tell you, Jeff?

If you haven’t seen annual slideshow of best screenshots that I posted late last month, here it is: The 20th Year in Pictures. Enjoy!

See you all next time! Happy holidays! 🎄
