Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Saturday was Christmas Eve, and I decided to participate in the Toy Day activities. I found Jingle hanging out behind Resident Services.

He told me that he needed wrapping paper before presents could be delivered. So I shook some decorated cedar trees, collected the required ornaments, and crafted three sheets of festive wrapping paper. When I gave them to Jingle, he rewarded me with some Toy Day stockings.

Jingle then gave me a magic bag full of presents; it was time for me to deliver gifts to my villagers! I visited Bones first, but he was sitting down and he needed to stand up to be able to receive a gift. However, he didn’t stand up! Over and over, he said he needed to stand, and I gave him room to stand. But he didn’t stand up…until I gave up and left his house. I then re-entered and gave him the gift. 😛

I delivered gifts from Santa to all ten of my villagers, and then I returned to Jingle. He took the magic bag back, and he rewarded me with a Toy Day sleigh. Even though my villagers also wanted to exchange gifts with me, I stopped at that point. Christmas Eve can be a busy time (irl). But it was nice to deliver gifts at least once, and just to participate in the event. 🙂

Yesterday, I had Maelle the ugly duckling as my camper. I was not interested in inviting her to town.

K.K. Slider was in town last night (a day later than usual), and he performed K.K. Western for me and Rio.

Today, Gullivarrr was in town and I retrieved his communicator for him. He’ll send me a gift in the mail.

I wrapped up a rattan vanity and gave it to Punchy. In return, he surprised me by giving me his photo!

I’ve now earned photos of all of my current villagers! Yay! 😊 I took Punchy’s pic home and displayed it in my villager photo room. His favorite quote, on the back of the photo, is “There’s always more fish in the sea!” 🐟🐠🐡🦈

If you haven’t seen my latest video, Wi-Fi Moments #26, here it is:

Happy holidays! I’ll see you all again later this week. 🙂

Just a heads-up that the zodiac rabbit figurine is now available through Nook Shopping. It costs just 1,600 bells, and it’s really cute! So don’t forget to order one (or two, or three) by January 5th.

Gulliver sent me a lucky cat as my latest reward yesterday. It’s better than most of his rewards, but I still used mine as a gift I gave to Punchy. In return, he gave me a rounded beard. Not the best trade.

Wisp was in town tonight, and I gathered up his five loose spirits for him. In return, he gave me a mochi pestle.

I did some diving tonight, and I heard my NookPhone beeping after I caught a turban shell. That was my 2,500th sea creature caught, and I have now completed the “Deep Dive” goals! 😁

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve (aka Toy Day), so I hope you all have a great day! Even though I plan on playing a bit of the event in New Horizons, I probably won’t be posting a blog entry. (Though I will post one for City Folk.)

But there will be new ACNH content tomorrow: Check my Youtube channel for a new Wi-Fi Moments video!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄

On Saturday night, I headed over to Nami’s town Tropico for her birthday party. Matthew and Logan were also there. After an impromptu King Tut falling session and some costume changes, Sam also joined in.

Several people started changing their appearance to look like other people at the party. So when another Jeff appeared, I started a net fight with…myself?

It got a bit confusing. Matthew looked like me, Sam looked like Logan, and Logan looked like Nami.

We headed over to Nami’s house, and we ended up with three Logans at one point! I was ogre-whelmed! 😉

After a little while, we went to Nami’s kitchen for some birthday cake. There, she sneezed all over the cake and blew out her candles. Happy birthday, Nami! 🎂

Of course, we had some fun with ocean sunfish. But this time, they were combined with a snowman head and my frog cap.

We also went to play some sumo, although Molly walked right into the sumo ring! I loved how Nami and Logan quoted my old ACCF Wi-Fi Moments. (They also referenced the Weenie-head gang at one point. 😆)

We played a few rounds of sumo; I dressed up as Mario and narrowly defeated Logan as Santa Claus.

Jesse also came to Nami’s town, and he was button-mashing to play the gong and the tambourine incredibly fast. 😆 After a while, we took a group photo.

Sam left, and the rest of us discovered that all five of us were in different time zones.

We later attended K.K. Slider’s birthday show for Nami, and Nami ended the session shortly after that.

A side note: Gullivarrr sent me a pirate rug in the mail.

On Sunday, I found one of the ugliest villagers in the game camping at the campground: It was Klaus the bear! No relation to Santa Klaus.

Last night, Beth had the northern lights in her town of Cassia, so I headed over there to check them out.

Back in Forest, I built my first perfect snowboy of the season.

Today, the snowboy sent me a frozen counter in the mail. I also retrieved Gulliver’s communicator parts for him, and he’ll send me something in the mail tomorrow.

Punchy told me that I looked as warm as a fresh cinnamon roll. I may be bundled up, but I’m certainly not that warm. 😉

Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄 I’ll be back with another entry at some point this week. And keep an eye out for the next Wi-Fi Moments video in the next few days! 🙂
