Delivering Presents

Yesterday, Static asked me to play a treasure hunt game with him. He only gave me three minutes, and I barely found the item in time. But once I did, he revealed that the gift was his photo…which is now mine. 😛

Static: And that's not just any Static's photo. It's your Static's photo!
It’s Jeff’s Static’s photo! 😛

This was a duplicate, so I just put it in storage for now.

Jolly Redd’s ship was in town, and he had a rock-head statue that was different from the (fake) one I’ve seen before. So I felt pretty good about this one, and I bought it.

Today, I found a gyroid fragment on the beach (on my own island). I’m sure some people will enjoy having the extra chances to get gyroids, but I’m already swimming in them. 😛

I received my rock-head statue in the mail from Jolly Redd, and as I suspected, it was the real deal. I promptly donated it to the museum.

Toy Day is here, and I found Jingle hanging out near my central bridge. He gave me a recipe for some festive wrapping paper (even though I already knew how to make it), and told me he needed three sheets of it.

Jingle: What do you say, kid? Can you help? It would behoove the both of us... even though I'm kinda all set, hoof-wise.

I crafted them, and he gave me a set of Toy Day stockings as my first reward of the night. He also reminded me to hang them up in my house. Next, he gave me a magic bag filled with presents for each of my villagers. He asked me to deliver the presents to my neighbors, and I did.

Sasha: Those clothes! That bag! And in the bag... Could it be...

I didn’t need to dress up like Santa…but I did anyway, at least once I stopped by Able Sisters. However, they didn’t have the boots…so I just bought red sandals. 😂

Apollo: Whoa! you're a braver eagle'n me, carryin' around a bag like that on Toy Day and dressed like Santa.
You look a bit Santa-ish yourself!

Some of them gave me gifts in return, which were some of the toy items that the Nooklings have been selling this month.

Once I finished delivering all the presents from Santa, Jingle gave me a recipe for a gift pile (which I already had) and a Toy Day sleigh.

But I wasn’t done just yet! The villagers expected me to do a gift exchange with them (since the first batch of presents were from Santa, not me). So I made some brown-sugar cupcakes for all my villagers and wrapped them up. We all exchanged gifts, and it was lovely. 🙂

Hornsby: Wow! For me? Really? Seriously? Some brown-sugar cupcakes?

I hope you all had a happy Toy Day, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season in general! See you tomorrow! 🎄
