My lone holdout until this morning was the Falling Snow wallpaper, which is the one thing I really wanted. It's like the game knows what we're hoping for and makes that the biggest PITA to get


Yeah, I was surprised I got the illuminated tree early. Present and festive tree left to go.

Sure - or if you have a time you want me to come by your island you can just drop the stacks and I can craft and drop the items while there

I'd like to think the threat of someone coming to craft it for you convinced the game to finally give up the DIY.

Finally picked up the game again for the first time since September... I missed out on all the Halloween and fall stuff. I didn’t want to miss out on my birthday though. Ketchup threw me a party and invited my favorite 2 villagers. I assume it was based on friend points system rather than random. Birthday party was very different and improved upon from my kids’ island bday party this summer.

Caught my last 5-6 remaining fish super quickly. Very first fish and cast was the stringfish and the others came basically one after the other. Football fish was very last fish but took the final 20-30 mins until I realized which shadow to look for. I was questioning if the game somehow was gifting me these fish based on it being my birthday and how long it had been since I played or if it was truly a coincidence.

Got the dung beetle too, but now I just realized I’m missing like 4-5 giant stags and Hercules bugs from late summer.

I tried to move the decorated cedar trees to front of the island and around guest services building but they lose the lights once they are replanted — that sucks

The stags weren’t fun to catch with water bugs around. Bamboo island is the best place to catch them.

I question how many I passed up without realizing it at the time. The ones I’m missing all look very similar, and I didn’t realize that.

Oh and I’m missing the damn walking stick which is out of season too. I see now they are very limited hours during the day, so that explains why I never encountered them.

The falling snowflake wallpaper is one of the first things I got Sahiko I may need some help crafting because I’ve grinded balloons for 2 days and the only recipe I got was another damn snowflake wreath which I already had

I just knocked out Toy Day in like 5 minutes, which is good I suppose since alot of people are really busy on Xmas Eve.

Agree it was nice to handle it all in 5 mins (the Santa gift delivery).

If you don’t get around to your separate gift exchange with villagers, all they give you are the Nook’s items toys. No special items and no special achievement unlocked.

I was giving out grand pianos, pool tables, sculptures, and high dollar items. They randomly just gave out the dollhouse, kids tent, dinosaur, etc

Glad I checked here, I didn’t know you could gift exchange for variants after the jingle stuff.

I finally got that dam illuminated present, so I can quit balloons again for awhile hopefully.

I caved and started doing the jail bars method along the beach to get balloons to go to the bottom of the beach. It really does work. However all the times I thought I missed balloons I found out that they don’t always spawn every 5 minutes. That is one of the things i hate about this game. I shouldn’t have to camp for balloons for recipes all day and depend on blind luck..

Nice little New Years Eve on the island with the big countdown clock. I set my Switch time to London time and had my kids come visit. Wanted to knock it out this evening and see it before our actual midnight. Pretty well done.
