Winter & Christmas Lights

Winter has arrived, and snow now covers the grass and trees in town. I caught a glimpse of the northern lights tonight, although they were past their peak and starting to fade away.

The northern lights in the sky above Forest in Animal Crossing: City Folk.My kiwi shirt was looking quite out of season, so I headed over to Able Sisters to see if I could find a more appropriate shirt. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any shirts I liked…but I did see this motocross helmet for sale. It was blue and shiny, and I couldn’t resist it.

Me wearing a motocross helmet I just bought from Able Sisters in ACCF.Of course that clashed with what I was already wearing, making my kiwi shirt look even worse. So I changed into my UFO pattern shirt for now; at least it’s blue and black like the helmet.

As I walked around, I noticed that Christmas lights are also on some of the cedar trees around town.

When I visited Chow, he asked me to catch a centipede for him. Yikes.

Chow: How about it? You're a mighty bug hunter, right? Catch a centipede, and bring it to me!
He says he wants a centipede, but his face says otherwise.

I tried banging several rocks, but I only found pill bugs, not centipedes. He may be on his own for that request.

At Nook ‘n’ Go, I decided to order a racing shirt (not to be confused with the racer shirt or racer 6 shirt) to go along with my helmet. I should have that next time.

I was also trying to find Opal, since I didn’t see her anywhere in town. I eventually found her in the Roost. We had a nice chat about coffee, and how delicious it is.

Opal: I thought coffee was just something that kept you awake. I didn't realize it could be delicious!I’ll see you all next time. Happy holidays!
