New Year’s Eve

Yesterday, Reneigh was at the campsite!

Reneigh: Hey, thanks for stoppin' by. So...is everyone here, like, SUPER friendly?

I thought I’d let her move in, but only if Rizzo was the villager she’d be replacing. When she went to town hall though, Tia was again the suggested villager to replace, and I was not going to kick Tia out like that.

Also, I noticed that winter campers still use a tent…not an igloo like in New Leaf. I was looking forward to seeing igloos in winter, so that’s disappointing.

Here are a few other quick notes about yesterday:

  • Tuesday’s snowboy sent me a frozen arch in the mail.
  • I made another perfect snowboy.
  • I bought a garbage pail and used it to throw away dozens of black roses and orange windflowers.
  • Flick was in town, so I sold him 97,500 bells worth of bugs.

Today, I received a frozen sculpture in the mail from my latest snowboy.

I headed over to the plaza, where Tom Nook and Isabelle were both outside for the event! Town hall was completely closed today, so I couldn’t even go in to use the Nook Stop. Tom Nook gave me some party poppers, and he was also selling New Year’s hats and (more) party poppers. I bought a hat of each of the four colors available. Isabelle also gave me a light stick.

After doing some shopping on my NookPhone, I earned 3,000 Nook Miles for ordering my 200th item.

In the final hour before midnight, villagers started coming to the plaza. And at 12:00, we welcomed in 2021! Happy new year, everyone!

Happy New Year!

UPDATE: Here is the video of my New Year’s Eve in Forest:

At 12:30, I went over to Logan’s town Moonscar. Since he’s an hour behind me, I got to see the New Year’s event a second time. Timo, Nicky, Jesse, and Jj were also there.

I bought a green New Year’s hat from Moonscar’s Tom Nook, because he had different colors than mine.

We also went up to his Polar Peak to watch some fireworks.

After Logan ended the session, I returned to Forest and shot down a balloon present. I finally got the recipe for the illuminated tree! After nearly five minute of tree-shaking, I had enough ornaments to make one.

I posted the latest New Horizons Moments video today:

I hope you all have a Happy New Year! I’ll be hosting my Friday Night Forest/holiday party tonight, so I’ll be back with another entry late Friday night/early Saturday morning. See you later! 🙂
