It was snowing in town today, and that’s always a welcome sight in this game. Not only is it pretty (especially during the holiday season), but it saves me from watering some flowers. This is the only Animal Crossing game in which I’m still actively watering flowers, after all.

I don’t water all of them, of course, since most of my flowers are gold roses that are immune to wilting. But I do have other flowers that I use in various spots to regrow grass, and the snow gives me a reprieve.

Big Top asked me for a new greeting today, and I decided to tell him to say “I’m circus-bound.” It goes well with his catchphrase.

When I walked into Midge’s house, I was disappointed to see that she was all packed up in boxes. She’s moving out…again!

If it seems like Midge is always leaving, there’s some truth to that. She also moved out in 2019, before returning (and leaving again) this year. But that’s not all, because she also moved out of my New Horizons town twice in that span as well! She just flies in and out of my life so frequently. I’d say she’s flighty, but that’s probably obvious since she’s a bird. 😉 It’s like Forest is a revolving door on a bird hotel.

I shot down a balloon present, and it fell to the ground with a thud. Inside, I found a scale. I guess that’s one way to drop a few pounds. 😉

I rode the bus out to the city, and Becky was there, as pleasant as always. 😛 She complained about the slippery surfaces caused by the snow, demanding that somebody salt the ground. She even threatened to sue! You’d think a bird could just fly over any slippery spots, but what do I know? 😛

Later on, I went to the Roost for the Saturday night show. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed K.K. Rally for me.

That’s all I have for tonight, but I’m hoping to play again on Christmas Eve. It’s not a sure thing though, and I might not have time to post a blog entry even if I do play. But I’ll be back at some point next week with more. If I don’t see you before then, have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄

Never Stop Crossing!

Snow now covers in the ground in Animal Crossing, and I decided to record a new gameplay session video when I played yesterday. Here is that video if you’re interested…or you can keep scrolling down to get to today’s highlights.

I won’t post all of what happened in the video here in the blog, but I will share just this one screenshot of me having some coffee in the Roost.

Today, a fishing tournament was underway. Ruby told me that she was currently in 1st place, with her 44.4-inch sea bass.

She was standing out on the dead end, and it’s actually pretty rare for me to find anyone up there!

After making my rounds, I did a little fishing. But I was mostly just finding octopi…and one squid, which Chip likes to chop up and put in his noodle salads! 🤢

I eventually caught a sea bass, but it was still much smaller than Ruby’s catch. I ultimately gave up and shut off the game for the rest of the afternoon. But I did return later for the results. Ruby’s catch hung on, and she was the official winner. Congrats, Ruby!

After making a quick delivery to Punchy (from Mint), I finished up my night at the Roost. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Western” for me.

Did any of you participate in the tourney? If so, I hope you had better luck than I did! I’ll be back with more next week; hope to see you then! Never Stop Crossing!

On Thursday, I found a new house in town. Jeremiah’s replacement has moved in, and it’s Punchy the cat!

Punchy lived here before in 2019-20, and more recently, in my New Horizons town from 2022 until May of this year. I like him, but I’m not crazy about him like some people seem to be. 😛

Big Top and Ruby had both asked me for fossils, and I fulfilled both of those requests today. I gave Big Top an archaeopteryx, and he said it could sleep with him tonight!

If you thought his reaction was a little odd, check out what Ruby said when I gave her a pachy tail. She said it was her new love!

Punchy asked me for some festive clothes for the holidays, and the folk shirt at Able Sisters definitely seemed to fit the bill. I took it over to Punchy, and he liked it. He rewarded me with a lovely carpet.

It seemed like everyone was asking me for help tonight! Robin wanted a bagworm, and Midge needed her house key fished out of the river. I helped out both birds.

Robin rewarded me with a plush carpet, while Midge slipped me a slim quazoid.

Whether it was for fossils, fashion, or fishing, I fulfilled five favors for friends tonight! So I took it easy the rest of the night, enjoying K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show at the Roost. I asked for a random song, and he performed K.K. Waltz for me.
