I started up my game and saw that snow now covers the ground. That’s a day earlier than in City Folk.

I talked to Candi and she was talking about the legendary living fossil (the coelacanth). She asked if I had heard of it, and when I told her I’ve already caught one before, she freaked out. She was upset that I caught one before she did.

I also noticed that some trees now have Christmas lights on them. Forest is looking quite Christmasy. If that’s a word.

After stopping at Nook’s, I continued around town and saw Static. He was talking about Wisp until he spooked himself out.

I then saw Katrina’s tent, so I went inside to have my fortune told. She basically told me some good things may happen and some bad things may happen. In other words, it was a neutral fortune that doesn’t affect anything.

A lot of the animals were mentioning Jingle, who comes on December 24th. Hank went so far as to imply that he was going to steal Jingle’s red suit for himself!

I then mailed some fossils away and headed for home.

It was snowing as I started up the game tonight.

I only had one letter in my mailbox, which seemed a bit odd. It was a goodbye letter from Gonzo.

After a quick stop at the post office (ugh, Phyllis was there) to mail some fossils away, I walked through the snow to meet my new neighbor Groucho.

I also talked to a few of my other neighbors.

They seemed to object to me being out late at night, and yet they’re out walking around outdoors just the same as I am.

After pulling some weeds (and waking up Emerald), I headed for home.

Today is Sale Day (also known as Black Friday or the-day-after-Thanksgiving), so I stopped by Nookington’s. Nook had lots of grab bags for sale, each one costing 2,012 bells.

Each grab bag contains three items. I bought three grab bags, but most of the items inside them were carpets or wallpapers. I did get a green pinwheel, though.

Another thing that always happens on Sale Day is that Crazy Redd will be in town.

He had a ruby econo-chair, a white bishop, and a turntable for sale. I wasn’t interested in any of those.

By the way, there is a cool glitch that only works on Sale Day. Crazy Redd can disappear from his spot in front of his tent, and reappear at another sign post, where he will then vanish into thin air. If you want to see a video of the glitch, click here.

I then ran into Gulliver on the beach.

He gave me a Lady Liberty, which of course is a model of the Statue of Liberty. I wonder why this item wasn’t included in City Folk? Anyway, I finished pulling some weeds and stopped at the post office before I headed for home and ended my game.
