It’s Christmas Eve, so I was greeted with a special holiday message when I started up the game tonight.
Just a few steps away, I ran into Jingle, the black-nosed reindeer.
After telling him I like huge things (meaning furniture), he gave me a Jingle lamp. I changed into a patterned hat, and I continued to keep an eye out for him as I made my rounds. When I ran into him on the beach, he gave me a Jingle bed.
He can also be found in villagers’ homes in this game, and I eventually found him in Vladimir’s house. Probably giving him a lump of coal. 😉
I saw a huge fish shadow in the river, which may have been a stringfish. But after the 4th nibble, my Wii remote batteries died! I still tried to press the A button when the fish took the 5th and final nibble, but it was no use. The big fish got away. Oof.
I played for a solid hour, finding Jingle 12 times in that span. When I was done, I sold my 12 pieces of Jingle furniture for a nice chunk of change: nearly 150k! 🙂
This event rivals summer night bug-catching in terms of making money. 💰💰💰
Merry Christmas, Happy Toy Day, and Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎅🎄❄️
