I visited Agent S today, and she was crafting. She gave me a DIY recipe for a shell table. I then gave her a gift, a train set that I bought for her at Nook’s Cranny. In return, she gave me her photo!!!! YES!!! Finally!

I took the photo home and put it in my house. Her favorite quote on the back is “You gotta put the pedal to the metal!” which is the same quote she had in New Leaf.

Of my ten villagers, that only leaves two villager photos I need: Louie and Midge. I really hope Rizzo asks to move out soon, because this town could really use some fresh blood. Bones, who moved here in October, is the only new villager in the past five months. (Tybalt is 2nd newest, and he moved in way back in July.)

Over at Candy Cane Lane, I rolled up a snowboy. But for the first time, I didn’t make it perfect! 😮 I’m guessing the head was a tiny bit too big?

So I didn’t get a new frozen recipe, but at least I still got my large snowflakes from the other three snowboys that were still hanging around…including this one that was on his last legs. So to speak.

An interesting thing about the frozen pillars is that you can actually place items on them! Unfortunately, it doesn’t show your character jumping all the way up there. 😛

Wisp was in town, and he was actually in the southern part of town! He has almost always been in the northern part of the map, or at least near the center. This may be the first time I’ve seen him down this far. But I caught all of his spirits for him, and he rewarded me with a common wall.

Friday is Christmas Day, and I think most people will be busy that day, either with family, or just busy spending time with new gifts. 😀 So I don’t plan on having Friday Night Forest this week. However, I do want to have a delayed Christmas party at some point after Christmas, but before the year ends. I’m just not sure which day yet. So stay tuned if you’re on my Switch roster!

Happy holidays, everyone! 🙂

Yesterday’s snowboy gave me a DIY recipe for an ice wand. That’s obviously my least favorite ice/frozen item yet, but oh well. It’s not like I can wave a magic wand and make it disappear. 😛 But I also earned 500 Nook Miles for building my 10th quality snowperson.

At Nook’s Cranny, I ran into Rizzo. He was looking at a skeleton, saying that he used to have one of those himself!

Today, I was surprised to see Celeste right outside my house as I started up the game. She taught me the DIY recipe for the galaxy flooring.

C.J. was in town, and I caught five fish in a row to complete his freestyle challenge.

I grabbed some fish out of storage, and I sold him 7 red snappers, 5 pikes, 3 football fish, 3 oarfish, 3 sturgeon, an arapaima, a koi, and a goldfish for a total of 164,700 bells.

Today’s snowboy taught me how to make an ice wall (the wallpaper, not the actual wall of ice, which is called a frozen partition). And two of the balloon presents I shot down today contained new seasonal recipes: I learned how to make a snowflake pochette and illuminated snowflakes. I made the snowflakes, and placed them (along with some of my other seasonal items) around Candy Cane Lane.

I’m not turning this area into a game or obstacle course yet, but maybe it can be a cool place to hang out this winter.

Note: Even though today was the winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere), the game didn’t do anything special for the occasion. Unless, of course, you count the two seasonal items from the NookStop which have been available all month. I think New Leaf spoiled us with a multitude of seasonal events, even if many of them were very minor happenings.

Have a good day, and I’ll see you all next time! ❄️❄️❄️

In the mail, I received my latest reward from Gulliver. He sent me a katana, which unfortunately doesn’t do anything. I remember one of the swords in City Folk would hover in the air when you “used” it, so it’s a bit disappointing that this doesn’t do the same.

I built another snowboy today, and he gave me a DIY recipe for a frozen pillar. Pretty cool.

Later on, I took some black roses over to Adrian’s town of Cancun. Enjoy the roses, Adrian!

At Able Sisters, I bought the Santa coat and Santa beard…in case I need them for Toy Day.

I found a lost book on the ground, and the cover said “xtreme xercises.” This book gets lost more than Rizzo in a rat maze. I asked Louie about it, and he told me it was Tybalt’s book. When I took it over to Tybalt, he gave me an essay set to thank me for returning the book.

When I visited Rizzo, he was talking about a scary banana that tasted like wood, and he also mentioned a talking carrot. I think he’s gone senile. Oh sure, he might claim he was just dreaming, but I don’t believe that for a second!

K.K. Slider was in town, and he played K.K. Bazaar for me. It’s not a bad song. But unfortunately, no other villagers attended the show with me.

When I returned home, I found Louie sitting in my frozen chair, eating a sandwich! What’s the big idea, big guy?

As I shot down a balloon present (which contained 5,000 bells), I noticed northern lights in the sky! This was my first time seeing them in New Horizons, so I found a nearby bridge and took a picture from there. Pretty!

I posted a new video today, featuring more quick comparisons between the main five Animal Crossing games. I hope you’ll check it out!

And if you didn’t see the first part from a couple weeks ago, here’s the link: Quick Comparisons.

Have a great weekend and Happy Holidays! I’ll be back with another entry soon. 🙂
