Pitfalling Tabby

Tammy was talking about Jingle today, but it didn’t sound like she had a positive opinion of him…

Tammy: He's got two horns, fluffy, brown fur, and a strong profile...My lost and found was filling up with pitfall seeds, so I took a couple of them just so there would be space for other items. And when I went outside, I saw Tabby…and I thought…why should these pitfalls go to waste?

Rolf takes his medicine.He apologized for all the trouble he’s causing, but he’s not causing trouble at all. I don’t recall ever seeing him this sad and pathetic before.

Rolf: ...I'm very sorry...for all the trouble I'm causing you...I’ve noticed I have a blue pansy over by my park area. It looks really nice, and it’s quite a bit different from how blue pansies looked in City Folk. I’m wondering if I should move it closer to my house, but I’m still undecided.

A blue pansy that popped up in my park.Not a lot was going on in town today, so I took a trip out to the island. I think Kapp’n has the wrong idea about me.

I've a nice face, it be true, chiseled abs, and fancy hair. But I'm smart! I gots heart! I gots feelings! I gots lots to share!I went on the market-value bug tour, but I wasn’t finding many bugs. A bronze Tortimer award was the best I could do, sadly.

Later on, I went to Club LOL to get a new song from K.K.; he performed Surfin’ K.K. for me. But my former villager Harry was up in his face the whole time. It was kind of funny.

Harry up in the face of K.K. as he performs.One other thing I’d like to point out. Beth has submitted another version of her Santa dress, this time with sleeves. It’s available on the QR Codes page if you’re interested.

Catching a Snowflake

I got the valiant statue in the mail from Crazy Redd today, but when I took it to the museum, Blathers informed me that it’s a fake!

Blathers: Oh dear! Upon closer examination, I have grave news to share with you, Jeff! It's a fake!Today was Naughty or Nice day in European/Australian versions of the game. I didn’t get to attend the festival, but my friend Skye (the human, not the wolf) gave me her holiday stocking from the event. Thanks, Skye!

A holiday stocking from Naughty or Nice Day.Soon after that, I had a problem trying to take a photo. I got the dreaded “the photo limit has been reached” error message again. So I stopped playing until I was able to move my pictures over onto my computer. By the time I resumed playing, it was after midnight…and it was snowing.

Snow falling outside my house in Forest.The lost and found at the police station had this ghost umbrella that I snatched up.

A large snowflake floating around.It went down towards the beach, but I followed it down, got my net out, and caught my first snowflake!

Wow! A snowflake! I should be gentle with it so it doesn't melt!You can’t put a snowflake into storage, but you can show it off (like a bug), release it, or sell it for 500 bells.

Reese: Ooh, a snowflake! I can take that item off your hands for 500 bells, if that's OK?I went to visit Rolf, and he ever so subtly let me know he was sick. Cough cough cough cough cough.

Rolf: Cough cough. Cough cough cough!However, T&T Emporium closed at midnight, so I couldn’t buy him any medicine! I’ll have to pick some up tomorrow, if he survives that long. 😛

T&T Emporium. Hours: 9 a.m. until 12 a.m.I had a gem rock today, and it gave me two gold nuggets. Along with one from storage, I gave them to Cyrus and he turned them into a golden bed. It’s not a piece I needed, but oh well.

Take home the golden bed?And before I ended my night, I spoke with Big Top near my fountain. He commented on how pretty the illuminated tree looks.

Big Top: The illuminated tree sure is pretty!And in case you missed it, I took a dream adventure to a town called Clue, which is based on the board game of the same name. It’s a cool town to visit if you’re familiar with the board game, so be sure to check it out!

Illuminated Tree

I started up the game and saw that my illuminated tree was completed today. It’s not much to see in the daytime, but it’s a different story altogether at night.

My non-illuminated illuminated tree (during the day).While I was out watering my flowers, I spotted Phineas! He gave me the Prof. of Ichthyology badge for catching every type of fish. This is my second gold badge.

I got the Prof. of Ichthyology badge! Everyone agrees I'm a fish specialist!Over at the police station, Copper told me that Crazy Redd was in town. And while I was there, I picked up this coat hanger! So exciting!

Copper: Looks like you've got yourself a coat hanger there. Do you want to keep that item?When I went into Redd’s tent, I was only able to rule out one of his four items. I ended up buying this valiant statue.

Redd: I see! Ya seem to be really close to that valiant statue, yeah?Once the sun went down, I attended the completion ceremony for the illuminated tree. I think it looks really good all lit up.

Celebrating the opening of the illuminated tree at its completion ceremony.Once the ceremony ended, Kidd pinged me. He offered me a neutral painting for 7,056 bells. I took the risk and bought it.

Kidd: So I have a bond with my neutral painting that's strong as titanium.But before I went to check out if it was real or not, I stopped to take a seat on my metal bench. As expected, the illuminated tree is easily visible when sitting. Now I just need some snow!

Enjoying the view of my new illuminated tree from my metal bench.I also added a (different) picture of the illuminated tree to my town page, so feel free to check that out if you’d like.

Up on Main Street, Luna told me that Ryan from Whaleway was my most recent dream visitor. And Blathers had good news for me: The neutral painting from Kidd was real! I donated it and took a look at it; Benedict was also there enjoying the growing art gallery.
