On January 10th, both of my penguins (Aurora and Cube) seemed to be walking towards me for no apparent reason. It was kind of cute…and kind of odd. 😛

On January 24th, my bank account balance reached 121 million bells.

This Thursday (the 27th) was Aurora’s birthday. I attended her party and gave her a robo-closet that I bought at Re-Tail.

I was a bit surprised that Inkwell was the other villager at the party. But I guess it’s nice to see he’s finally made a friend. 😛

As I walked out of her house, I noticed another aurora…one in the sky. Happy birthday, Aurora!

Today, I received a letter from Aurora thanking me for the birthday present. She attached a detective outfit to the letter. 😛

It’s Cube’s birthday today, so I bought a fancy display stand from Harv, wrapped it up, and then headed over to Cube’s house.

I gave him his present, and he seemed to enjoy it. Big Top was also at the party, and he said we were going to show Cube the best time he’s ever had…at the zoo. 😛

So both of my penguin villagers had birthdays this week! I guess winter is their time of year. I just hope Aurora and Cube aren’t getting ideas about any penguin babies of their own, because I don’t have room for them in town! 😛

I rolled up two snowballs to make a Snowmam tonight. However, she wasn’t perfect; so she demanded five snowflakes instead of three. (But she got zero.) 😂

Up at Club LOL, Elise said that she was looking for a cookie cutter! Weird place for that.

Hamlet was also at the club, and K.K. Slider performed Rockin’ K.K. for the three of us.

When I returned to town, I heard someone fall into a pitfall. It was poor Molly!

I later found out she was planning on moving out of town on February 6th, but I got her to change her mind.

Last night, I spotted two auroras in town, so I just had to take a screenshot!

Well okay, it was one Aurora and one aurora. But close enough. 😉

It was New Year’s Eve, and Isabelle gave me some sparkling cider.

Even though my focus was on the countdown in New Horizons, I also managed to see the new year arrive in New Leaf as well. The times on my two systems were about a minute and a half apart.

I was just a bit disappointed that my town tree was obscuring my view of the big “2022” fireworks in the sky!

I played again today (New Year’s Day), and Big Top told me he was tired from staying up too late last night.

He said he was going to start off the new year with a nice, big nap. Sounds like a good idea. 😂

At the event plaza, Isabelle said that she decided that tigers need more respect.

She gave me a zodiac tiger…but it’s because 2022 is the year of the tiger in the Chinese zodiac. It’s not because of Isabelle’s whims. I don’t know why she’s trying to take credit for that. 😛 But anyway, here’s the zodiac tiger on display in my house.

As I went up to Main Street, I heard the familiar sound of someone falling into a pitfall. 😂 So I quickly ran back across the tracks, and I found Big Top standing behind the face-cutout standee. However, he made no mention of falling into a pit. He was probably just trying to play it cool…acting like he didn’t fall in. 😎

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include OriginM from Origin and Teren from DalyCity. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great 2022, everyone! 🙂

Last week, I tested out the Mii mask feature for the very first time in New Leaf! This is my old Yukon Cornelius Mii, that some of you may remember from my old ACCF videos.

But don’t expect to see me wearing a Mii mask often…or maybe not ever. 😂 I just did it once to get a screenshot for a video I was working on. 😛

On Sunday, I spotted my first igloo of the season.

Sterling the eagle was inside. He’s alright, but my town is full and I probably wouldn’t invite him to move in anyway.

Yesterday, I finished up getting all of my Toy Day hints. This should make things much easier for Christmas Eve.

A bit later, I spotted the northern lights up in the sky.

Today, I started the game up and met Jingle over by my zen bell. He gave me his sack of gifts to hand out to all of my villagers.

Inkwell’s house was nearby, so he was the first one to get a present. I gave him a snow shirt, and he was swimming with excitement.

I continued around town, giving everyone the gifts they asked for. Here is the full list of what my villagers wanted, and what they got:

• Agent S: a black umbrella – bat umbrella
• Aurora: green wallpaper – a green wall
• Big Top: a brown toy – a foosball table
• Boots: a white plant – a moth orchid
• Cube: yellow food – a banana
• Hornsby: a red toy – an executive toy
• Inkwell: white clothes – snow shirt
• Lolly: beige wallpaper – paw-print wall
• Molly: an aqua doll – fancy doll
• Rolf: an orange electrical appliance – deluxe washer

The only thing I had to stop and think about were the toys: Big Top wanted a brown toy, and Hornsby wanted a red toy. The two items were an executive toy and a foosball table. Fortunately, I remembered that the executive toy has red balls…even if I didn’t remember the foosball table being brown, it makes sense if the legs and/or frame are made of wood.

But it all worked out, and I delivered everything perfectly. I returned to Jingle, and he rewarded me with a festive wreath.

I got everything done in about half an hour (which included my normal walk around town), so I’m thankful for that. I have other Jingles to track down on this Christmas Eve…
