Today is the winter solstice, which marks the official beginning of winter (in the northern hemisphere) and it’s also the shortest day of the year in terms of daylight hours. Animal Crossing: New Leaf takes this “shortest day” stuff to the extreme: The sun never rises all day! This picture was taken at 3:45 p.m.
I got a letter from Gulliver in the mail, and he sent me a gift from Mexico. He said it was a creepy doll called a calavera, but the item itself was just called a skeleton figurine. I put it in my World Wonders museum exhibit.
Isabelle was at the event plaza talking about the winter solstice and how cold she felt.
She also gave me a blue glow wand to mark the occasion (and to help me see as I walked around town).
The bulletin board announced that Timmy and Tommy had a queen for sale! What? How? Why? …How much?
I built a new bingo snowman, and I got new bingo numbers from it and my other bingo snowman. I needed both numbers…yet I still didn’t get a bingo! That’s a total of 18 numbers marked off, too! There’s no doubt anymore: These snowmen are clearly trolling me!
I then went up to the Dream Suite to revisit StarmanPhantom’s Tazmily town. That’s the Mother 3 themed town I featured on my Dream Suite Adventures page before. He’s added some new projects, so I updated that page to reflect the additions.
After I was done dreaming, Luna told me that Ryan from Rosewood was the most recent visitor to my town.
Later on, I noticed the northern lights (aurora borealis) up in the sky. This is the first time I’ve seen them in my New Leaf town.
Chris came over to collect signatures for a petition, and we stopped for a picture at the winter solstice face-standee cutout.
But he needed six signatures, and we could only find five of my ten villagers in town! I eventually found Big Top hiding in the fossil room at the museum.
Chris was done with his petition, so I ended the party. Before I quit for the night, I remembered to go up to Club LOL to get a song from K.K. He performed Mountain Song for me. I was thinking I already that song, but apparently I didn’t.
