Today is Toy Day, and I made sure to pick up the rest of the Santa outfit before the shops closed. I even bought the Santa boots (unlike last year).
After that, I met up with Jingle the black-nosed reindeer. He gave me Santa’s sack of presents, and I immediately looked through the items. The three wallpapers made me nervous, so I went to the Emporium to look at them in my catalog.
Which was yellow, which was orange, and which was beige? I honestly wasn’t sure. I thought the astro wall looked orange (and the astro set is orange), so I felt pretty good about that one. And even though I thought the paw-print wall looked more yellowish, I generally associate cheese with the color yellow. So I decided to go with cheese as my yellow wall.
But Boots was the first villager I visited as Santa. He wanted some gray electronics, so the TV with VCR was an easy choice.
Lolly’s request was for a blue umbrella. So I gave her…the blue umbrella. Clues can’t be any more clear than that. 😀
When I ran into Agent S, I felt like that was the moment of truth. She wanted yellow wallpaper, and I was relieved to see she was happy with it.
So I felt pretty confident as I continued making my gift deliveries. But…not for long. I went to give Rolf his present, and he wanted a green doll. I had a hula doll and a garden gnome, and I hadn’t looked them up in the catalog. However, I associate gnomes with the color green, so I gave him the garden gnome.
Oops. I was wrong. Apparently the gnome is red, and the hula doll is green. That also meant that Aurora’s gift was wrong as well.
I actually felt bad that I messed their gifts up. I was so concerned with getting the wallpapers right that I didn’t bother to check if there were any other troublesome clues. At any rate, I got 8 of 10 correct. here is the full list of what I gave everyone:
- Agent S: yellow wallpaper – cheese wall ✔️
- Aurora: red doll – hula doll ❌
- Big Top: orange wallpaper – astro wall ✔️
- Boots: gray electronics – TV with VCR ✔️
- Claudia: beige wallpaper – paw-print wall ✔️
- Hornsby: green carpet – green rug ✔️
- Lolly: blue umbrella – blue umbrella ✔️
- Molly: colorful food – candy jar ✔️
- Rolf: green doll – garden gnome ❌
- Vivian: gray furniture – tall lantern ✔️
I returned to Jingle, and he made a snide remark saying that he would have been careful to hand the gifts out correctly.
He still gave me a festive wreath for helping him out.
Well, at least most of my villagers were happy. And Lolly in particular was so excited that she got to meet Santa himself. 😛
My recent dream visitors include Dean from Range and Sammy from Kalos. Thanks for stopping by, and have a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season! 🙂
