Today is the first day of 2022, and I received a bunch of New Year’s greetings from my villagers in the mail. That included one from my 2nd favorite villager, Lucky.
Tortimer was standing outside of town hall, talking about starting out the new year like putting on a new pair of socks.
He gave me the New Year’s shirt for 2022. It has a tiger on it, because 2022 is the year of the tiger in the Chinese zodiac. Here’s a look at the front and back:
This is the 2nd tiger shirt in the cycle (the first tiger was 2010). But the 2010 shirt was white, and this one is gray. So even if you only looked at the fronts of the shirts, you could still tell the 2010 and 2022 shirts apart.
Big Top was going through the list of Chinese zodiac animals, trying to remember what year it is. 😛
Pretty much all of my villagers were talking about the start of the new year. Tom couldn’t believe how fast last year passed by.
Even though he was seemingly in a great mood, that changed right after I took this screenshot. He started to remember that he didn’t get much accomplished last year. It’s okay, Tom, you did all that you were programmed to do. 😛
I found a new house in a spot that rarely seems occupied: It’s just north of the windmill, and just a bit south of my house and Goldie’s house. Inside, I found a depressed looking bear cub named Pudge.
He lived in my Wild World town in 2016, and in my GameCube town in 2018. But he didn’t stick around long either time, so he’s not very fresh in my memory.
Behind Nook ‘n’ Go, I listened in on a conversation between Maelle and Queenie. It’s the one where they call each other bland. I’ve seen it multiple times before, so I didn’t snap a picture of the dialogue…but I did catch the surprised look on Queenie’s face as she stood back on her heels. 😂
And in the city, I ran into my old friend Static.
Even though he’s long gone from my ACCF town, I currently have him in New Horizons and in my GameCube town as well.
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all have a great, successful, safe, and healthy 2022! 🙂
