Making a Gift Pile

I know not all of you are football fans, but yesterday my favorite team (the Browns) clinched their first playoff berth in 18 years. So to celebrate, I put on my Nick Chubb jersey and decorated my left room (former Turkey Day room) to be football/Browns themed.

My Browns themed room in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Over at the campsite, I found a lost book on the ground. It was about potted plants and bonsai trees, and I remembered that is Rizzo’s cup of tea. So I took it over to the resident rat, and he rewarded me with some mariachi clothing.

Rizzo: I believe THAT makes us square. Maybe you even owe ME one. It's some mariachi clothing!
The only thing I owe you is a nice piece of moldy cheese in a mousetrap.

Late last night, I shot down a balloon present that contained a DIY recipe for a festive rug.

Louie asked about moving out, but I told him to stay. Why is it taking so long for Rizzo to ask?

Today, Tia was sick with a cold. I made some medicine and took it over to her. She’s already starting to feel better, and she rewarded me with a school hat.

I visited another town where Nook’s Cranny was selling red wrapping paper. So when I returned home, I was finally able to craft the gift pile recipe I got from Jingle on Toy Day. (My shop hasn’t had red wrapping paper since then!)

I recently went a couple days without building any snowboys. Either I had trouble finding both snowballs, or I accidentally kicked one into an obstacle and didn’t see it return.

I think my recent additions to Candy Cane Lane didn’t leave enough free space for both snowballs to spawn in that area. But after moving some things back a bit, I did find both snowballs there today. Unfortunately, the snowboy I built wasn’t perfect. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow.

I wrapped up my night standing on the beach, listening for balloon presents and enjoying the northern lights.

The northern lights shine in the sky above Forest.

I did shoot down a couple of balloon presents, but no new festive recipes. I did get a nice bidet, though. 😛 See you all next time!

UPDATE: Shortly after posting this entry, I shot down a balloon present that contained a DIY recipe for an illuminated present. It looks like I only need five more festive recipes.
