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! 🙂
If you happen to get New Leaf for the holidays (either for the first time or for a 2nd town), remember to use the face guide here on JVGS to start out your character with a face that you like!
Hello jeff it’s Tyler what ostrich villagers have you met and had in your town. What games did you have them in. Blanche,Cranston,Flora,Gladys,juila,Nindori,Phil,queenie,rio,sandy and sprocket.
I’ve had a number of them in GameCube and a couple in City Folk, but I don’t recall any of them sticking around very long. If you want, head over to the GameCube and City Folk blogs and stick their names in the search box for more info.
I’ve never had a perfect Toy Day. Either I forget who wanted what by the actual day or get thrown by some of the descriptions.
Odd that the garden gnome counts as a red doll. It looks more green than red:

Yeah, I apparently forgot about the red hat. Sometimes these Toy Day decisions can be trickier than they seem.
