Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Today is New Year’s Day, and I headed over to the event plaza to meet up with Isabelle. She gave me a zodiac rabbit to celebrate 2023 being the year of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac.

I took it home to take a close look at it; it’s pretty cute!

Meanwhile, Hornsby wanted to start off 2023 with a nap. Not a bad idea!

My friend Beth started off the new year by making a new town, called Cassia. I took the train over for a visit, my first time playing multiplayer in years!

Her town obviously doesn’t have much to see yet, and most of her villagers aren’t that great–except for Fauna, who was already asleep. But I checked out the town, and also the drive-in campground (where we tried to stay warm by the campfire).

Pavé was visiting, so we checked out his RV…and scared him repeatedly by honking the horn. 😛

I also did the Shrunk Funk Shuffle in Beth’s tent, and she could only watch helplessly. She has a long way to go before she unlocks it herself. 😛

Back in Forest, Luna told me that Wyatt from Sunville was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great 2023, everyone! See you all next time! 🙂

On Thursday, Gulliver sent me a skeleton figurine in the mail for helping him out last time.

Tonight, Cherry told me that if she ever runs away from home, she could just live in my upstairs room. But I never agreed to any such thing! Maybe if she’d give me her photo, I’d consider it. 😉

But then she realized that she wouldn’t need to run away from home, because she lives alone anyway. Did she really not realize that until now? 😛

Meanwhile, Inkwell was explaining the concept of stacking bells to me.

He said it was so convenient. Wouldn’t it be more convenient if it did that automatically? Maybe someday. 😉

The northern lights were shining in the sky tonight, and they looked pretty with the big countdown timer at the event plaza.

Tonight was New Year’s Eve, of course, so Isabelle gave me some sparkling cider, and I bought a blue New Year’s hat from Crazy Redd. At midnight, I brought in the new year of 2023 as the fireworks ensued. Happy New Year! 🎆🥂

Lolly and Rolf were also there for the fireworks and the celebration. 🙂

Since the “2023” fireworks at midnight were partially blocked by the town tree, I took another photo of them an hour later. Happy 2023!

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors have been Luigi from Luigi and David from Natrona. Thanks for stopping by!

I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow for the new zodiac figure. Have a happy and safe new year, everyone! 🙂

Note: I also attended the New Year’s Eve festivities in City Folk and New Horizons if you’d like to check out those blog entries as well: NYE in ACCF – NYE in ACNH

Last Wednesday, I spoke with Lolly in Re-Tail. She wanted to buy herself a new friend: a lucky cat! 😛

Saharah was in town, and she installed some new wallpaper and carpeting for me (at a cost of 3,000 bells). She put in a concrete wall and a cheese floor.

The winter season is here, and it brings some beautiful sights with it, including the northern lights! I took this photo from my central bridge.

I also went just south of town hall for another great shot of the aurora borealis (and a geyser eruption as well).

Last Friday, Bill was camping at the campsite. He ran a long way to get to Forest. I’m not sure why he ran, but maybe he was just ducking his responsibilities.

My villagers have been dropping frequent Toy Day hints lately.

I don’t have all of my Toy Day hints yet, but I do have a lot. Here’s a list of what they all want so far:

• Cube: clothes
• Cherry: white furniture
• Cube: gray clothes
• Hornsby: something black
• Inkwell: white clothes
• Jeremiah: orange furniture
• Lolly: a toy
• Molly: furniture

However, I think I may skip the Toy Day event in New Leaf this year. After playing all four versions of the event last year (for a comparison blog entry I posted this month), I think I’m going to take it easier this year. I plan on playing more of ACCF’s event, plus a bit of New Horizons (since I’m still playing that game daily anyway).

Today, Cherry asked me to visit her house, so we arranged a time. When I arrived, she just kept talking about cleaning up dust in her house by using tape.

Once she finally changed the subject, she asked me to buy something from her. I purchased an asteroid, and then I just hung out for a few minutes before leaving. She never gave me a gift, but she’ll probably send one in the mail.

Gulliver was down on the beach, talking about mariachi bands. I knew he was headed to Mexico, so he’ll be sending me something in the mail too.

According to Luna, Mario from Mushroom has been my latest dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by, Mario!

If I don’t post again this week, have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! See you all again soon! 🙂
