Bright Nights 2023

This is the week of the Bright Nights festival!

Hey, everybody! The Bright Nights are here!

All of the villagers’ houses, along with many of the cedar trees in town, are decorated with festive lights. It may not make a lot of sense, but the lights are pretty, and they brighten up these otherwise bleak winter nights.

Bones's house decorated for Bright Nights.
Bones’s house was one of the better displays.

Over near town hall, Butch was overconfident that he was going to win.

Butch: Yeah, all the losers in this town better wave a white flag, nutty!
Wolfgang later repeated this same bit of dialogue.

Even though the festival was dominating discussions around town, not everyone was obsessed with it. Eloise was more concerned with her dry skin. 😛

Eloise: I've actually got chronically dry skin, nutty.

But she told me a home remedy that works for her: Waldorf salad. On her face. It sounds a bit nutty to me, but she swears by it.

Eloise: The Waldorf salad facial! ...What!? It really works! Just look at me!

Bones was finally over his cold, and he thanked me for the medicine by giving me an ornate wall.

After checking out all of the decorated houses, I decided that Wolfgang’s looked the best. He has some decorated cedar trees near his house that added to the appeal. (Even if the narrow camera viewpoint prevents a good look at the whole area.)

So I returned to Tortimer to tell him my choice.

Tortimer: Perhaps I'll pass that on to Wolfgang.

I spoke with Wolfgang again, and he acknowledged my choice.

Wolfgang: Hey, sunshine! Were my lights really that awesome?

Bright Nights continue through Sunday night, so you still have several more days to check them out for yourself.

See you all next time! 🙂
