Jingle’s Picture

Jingle sent me this letter in the mail, thanking me for the help with Christmas Eve last night. Jingle’s picture was included with the letter.

To Jeff Claus! That was some of the best Santa-ing I've ever seen! I'm sending you a little something special. -JingleI displayed Jingle’s picture on my ice table in my main room (for now, at least). Jingle’s favorite quote is “Sometimes haste makes waste.”

Quote on Jingle's picture: Sometimes haste makes waste!The instant I got done looking at Jingle’s pic, Aurora barged into my house.

Aurora: Hello, Mr. J! Would you mind a visitor?I spoke to her once or twice, and then I just sat down on the couch until she left.

When I went outside, Amelia said she was tired of the greeting I gave her!

Amelia: So, Jeff, I think my usual greeting is getting stale. I'm tired of "I'm an airhead."Well fine, then! If you’re going to insult my excellent greetings, then I’m going to make you say something insulting!

Amelia: I'm a butthead! Yes, YOU over there! I'm a butthead!It may have been a white Christmas, but it was a blue day in the coffee shop. All four of today’s customers (Molly, Big Top, Kabuki, and Resetti) wanted blue mountain coffee.

Resetti: Whoa! This is the good stuff! Smooth but with a little kick.I found a lost mitten on my brick bridge, and I began to ask around.

A lost item on the bridge.It belonged to the third villager I asked about it, Drago. He could smell his french fries on it. I wonder if he cooked them with his breath.

Drago: Mm hmm! This is my mitten all right! I can smell the french fries I ate last time I wore it!To thank me for returning it, he gave me a red warm-up suit. Actually, I’m quite warm in the red suit I’m already wearing.

I went up to Main Street for my shopping run, and of course, I updated my dream town too. While there, Luna told me that Steph from Starbell was my most recent dream visitor.

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you had a great holiday!

Toy Day 2014 – Christmas Eve

I got two letters in the mail today. One was a letter from Gulliver, who sent me a tribal mask from Kenya. The other was this letter from Dad, wishing me a happy Toy Day. He attached a record player to the letter.

Dear Jeff, Remember when I dressed up as Santa to give you your presents? I always got a kick out of seeing you smile. -DadMy villagers were initially fooled by my outfit, and they thought I was Santa. Even though they’ve seen me wearing this outfit for weeks already.

Molly: Santa?! Did you get my suggestions for improving the aerodynamics of your sleigh?But they kind of figured out I wasn’t Santa…but only because Jingle wasn’t in town yet.

Big Top: Oh, wow! SANTA! But...you can't really be him. After all, Jingle's not in town yet.Jingle doesn’t show up until 6:00 p.m. though. But once the time came, I found Santa’s deer friend by my eastern ramp.

Jingle: Happy holidays! I'm Jingle, the black-nosed reindeer!He asked me to help him out by delivering the presents to the villagers in town. He gave me Santa’s bag to carry around.

Jingle: That Santa bag is a magical sack filled up with presents for everyone here in town!So I began giving out presents to my villagers. Thanks to the notes I kept of the hints my villagers gave me throughout December, most of the presents were pretty obvious. For example, Sprinkle wanted yellow food, so the banana in Santa’s bag was clearly her gift of choice.

Sprinkle: I must've been SUCH a good penguin this year!A few of them weren’t quite that obvious, but they weren’t that hard to figure out. Amelia’s “yellow doll” turned out to be a lucky gold cat, and Kabuki’s “brown toy” was a foosball table.

Kabuki: Ooh, a foosball table! My wish came true! Hooray!The gifts made all of my villagers quite happy.

Big Top: Awesome! Thanks! This is proof that there really is a Santa!I delivered nine of the presents, but I was having trouble finding Drago. It turns out, he was down on the beach!

Drago: Not to sound greedy, but where's my present?I gave him his yellow clothes (a leopard tee) and I was done! I then returned to Jingle and he took Santa’s bag back. He congratulated me on a job well done; I delivered everything to the right person animal.

Jingle: Let's see... Yup, yup! You've indeed delivered everything perfectly, kid!He gave me a festive wreath as my reward.

Jingle: Since you did such a holly-jolly job, I'll give you a special little present. It's a festive wreath!I should be getting Jingle’s picture in the mail tomorrow for completing the event perfectly.

Thank you all for visiting, and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! 🙂 I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow, so I hope you’ll stop by again!

Capricorn Ornament DLC

The latest DLC item came out today, so I picked up my Capricorn ornament from Pelly at the post office.

Pelly: Sorry to keep you waiting! I hope you enjoy your new Capricorn ornament!An ornament? That sounds like something small enough to put on your Christmas tree, right? Yeah…no. It doesn’t matter how stubborn you are, you’re going to have trouble getting this to fit on any tree.

The Capricorn ornament DLC.Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and Big Top is getting pretty excited about it. He even said he’s going to go to bed early tonight so that he can properly greet Jingle tomorrow.

Big Top: I wanna be able to give Jingle a proper welcome, so I might turn in early tonight.I only found one of my snowballs today, so I didn’t make a new snowperson. But I did speak with my snowman from yesterday, and I rolled his eyes for another number: 21.

My bingo snowman rolls a number 21.Kabuki mentioned a dreamer, J.C. from Chokolat, and said that he was a deep diver.

Kabuki: That reminds me! I recently had a dream involving J.C. from over in Chokolat.I met up with Gulliver down on the beach, and he was talking about giraffes, lions, and elephants. He’s headed to Kenya, and he’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.

Gulliver: There are giraffes, elephants, lions, and of course, GULLIVER! At least there will be when I show up.Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and I’ll be back with a Toy Day blog entry. I have all of my Toy Day clues, so it should be a quick and easy event for me. I hope you all have yours! Good luck with your Toy Day adventures, have a great Christmas Eve, and I’ll see you tomorrow!
