2024 has arrived, and many of my villagers sent me New Year’s greetings in the mail. Thanks, guys!
I also received a New Year’s letter from Mom (she sent me 1,000 bells) and a thank-you letter from Nana (she sent me a weeping fig for giving her medicine last week).
Mayor Tortimer was standing outside of town hall, as is his tradition on New Year’s Day.
He gave me the latest New Year’s shirt for 2024. It has a dragon on the front (since 2024 is the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac), and “2024” on the back.
I saw a big fish shadow in the ocean, and I fished out a lobster. Nana immediately pinged me to ask for it. 🙄
She didn’t offer me anything in return, either! Granted, she probably would have given me something, but I didn’t want to chance it without knowing what I was getting back. Sorry, monkey!
I later saw a big fish in the river too, and I caught a stringfish! Fortunately, no one begged me for that one. 😛
All of my villagers wished me a happy new year, and Antonio even said it in a loud font size. 😉
Gabi said that she’ll be even more powerful in 2024, like a robot. 🤖
And Tom performed his Dance of the Lonely Succotash for me. 😛
But my day in Forest wasn’t completely cheery. I found out that Queenie was moving out, without warning.
Queenie has grown on me during her stay in Forest, so it’s a bit sad to say goodbye. But Forest life goes on, and I’ll see who her replacement is next time.
Happy New Year, everyone! If you haven’t yet seen this, take a look back at my 2023 in Animal Crossing:
