Today, I received a goodbye letter from Marcy in the mail. She has already bounced out of town.

Just south of my home acre, I found an igloo near my central ramp.

Genji was inside, and he told me that he just built the igloo to surprise me. But it was a lot of hard work “for one beast,” and he was really tired.

That peaceful igloo music makes me want to take a nap, too!

Over at Nookington’s, there wasn’t any buying or selling going on today. That’s because it’s the last day of the month: Raffle Day. I didn’t have any raffle tickets, but I did take a quick look at the prizes.

Maple has a new next-door neighbor, Bangle the tiger! Tigers seem to have particularly huge heads in this game. 😆 She seems nice, but she was not aware that igloos have already started appearing in town.

When I ran into Belle, she was up to her usual tricks. She wanted me to buy a mod wall for 5,150 bells. If I’m not mistaken, that’s nearly five times what Tom Nook sells it for! So naturally, I declined the offer. She wasn’t particularly rude about my refusal this time, but she did say that was the lowest she could go. Yeah, good luck ever selling it for that much.

I found Gulliver washed up on the beach, and I woke him up. He used his infamous line that mentions the year, and I never get tired of this bit. 😆

He gave me a Lady Liberty (a model of the Statue of Liberty) for “saving his life.” 🗽

Over at the wishing well, I asked Sydney for a favor. She said she wanted a pet fish, but she insisted that she was awful at fishing.

So I went down to the ocean and caught a red snapper. And then I went to catch another fish, because I’m certainly not giving her a 3,000-bell snapper. 😆 But I did catch a nice sea bass for her! 😉 She liked it, and she rewarded me with a lovely chair.

Her catchphrase is one she learned from Kody, “okey-dokey.” But just moments later, Kody asked me for a new phrase to replace his “okey-dokey.” Maybe he didn’t like the fact that Sydney was using it too. 😛 So I gave him a phrase that I once gave to Tammy in New Leaf: game cub.

I made a stop at the post office to mail away the fossils I dug up, and then I returned home for the day. I’ll see you all next month! Never Stop Crossing!

As of last Wednesday, snow now covers the ground in Animal Crossing. Unfortunately, I received Peanut’s goodbye letter in the mail. I was hoping she’d stick around longer, but she has already split.

In addition to the snow, there are also festive lights on many non-fruit trees. (That includes cedar trees too, although none of those happen to be in this screenshot.)

When I spoke with Buzz, he told me he never sees my face these days. But as he was saying it, I actually spotted a different face watching us from behind the tree! Look closely, and you can see it here:

I later met Peanut’s replacement, Marcy the kangaroo.

She lived in Forest before, back in 2012. But I also have her in my town of Aja Blu, as you may have seen in my GameCube Moments #22 video from a couple weeks ago. If you haven’t seen it, here it is:

Anyway, I found Gulliver down on the beach. After rambling for a bit, he gave me a stone coin…as a token of his appreciation.

I played again tonight, and it was snowing in town. Candi wondered if I was scared of the snow because she didn’t see me during the day.

She then tried to sell me a checkered shirt for 2,250 bells. I know she’s a mouse, but she’s asking for a lot of cheddar! I declined the offer, and she said she’ll just toss the shirt instead. (And yet she wouldn’t give it to me for free.) That’s Candi for you.

Marcy was less concerned with ripping me off, and more focused on the snow. She even thought it was romantic.

Puck seemed glad that the snow didn’t keep me from exploring.

I’m not exactly sure what I would be exploring, though. I’ve been in this town for so long that I think I know every inch of it pretty well by now. 😉

And the snow just made Hank want to pop some popcorn. 🍿 It’s nice seeing all the villagers’ reactions to the snow. ❄️

I found Gulliver down on the beach again, and he gave me a matryoshka this time.

I’ve recently posted a video showing the best of my GameCube Moments clips from episodes 11-20. Check it out if you’d like! It’s a nice trip down memory lane, as some of these clips date back to 2018 and 2019!

Enjoy the snow in your Animal Crossing towns, and Happy Holidays! 🎄

Last Friday, I received a goodbye letter from Piper in the mail. Yes, already! She only lived in Forest for about ten days!

I was playing after midnight, and I followed a suggestion I received from D. Val on Youtube. I purposely let bees sting my face, and then I went around town to see everyone’s reactions to my swollen face late at night. Some villagers were scared, others laughed at me, some basically called me stupid, and one tried to arrest me! You can see all of that in the video here:

I played again today, and I got to meet my newest neighbor Peanut. She recently lived in my Wild World town for three years before moving out in June, and I really like her a lot. So I’m glad to have her back!

Genji seemed to be in a really good mood, and he gave me a free pear.

Meanwhile, Hank was looking forward to the harvest festival, and the holiday season in general.

He said it’s his favorite time of year, and he can’t wait to stuff his gut. 😆

Over by the wishing well, Ursala told me that she won’t wear anything except Gracie fashions. The only problem is that Tom Nook is too cheap to stock them.

She said Tom Nook’s goods are low class. 😆

Tom Nook was also in the area, and he wanted to sell me a manhole cover for exactly 1,000 bells. I declined, and he didn’t take the refusal well.

Still, he said he wouldn’t force me to buy it. How generous of him! 🙄

Today’s glowing spot contained 30,000 bells instead of the usual 1,000. That’s always a nice surprise!

I hope you all enjoy your harvest festival and holiday season! I’ll be back with another entry in December. Never Stop Crossing!
