Tuesday, December 15, 2020: Snowboy Fails

I had a two-and-a-half hour play session today, starting with a fun announcement! Poor Isabelle said she wasn't confident in her abilities to put decorations on the trees, and ornaments could fall out of them!

I started shaking the pine tree right by my yard to gather some ornaments.

There was a Christmas tree located by town hall - things are really getting festive for Toy Day! While I was at the plaza, I bought an evening bag from Kicks.

The snowmen I had built a few days ago were already starting to melt!

Merengue was getting into the festive spirit - mine too! And so was Sherb - he gave me a Christmas wreath! Another thing I remember being very excited about with that very first E3 2019 trailer with the winter scenes. I went ahead and put it on my door, and saved the ornament wreath I was also able to make for another time. Who knows, maybe next year!

I put the Statue of Liberty set on the rocks on the northern end of town, to welcome any possible travelers coming in from that way. Maybe Link, coming to Eventide Island. :P

I spent quite a lot of time trying to make a perfect snowman. The problem was it took a lot of effort trying to find snowballs in the first place! I attempted a Mayor Mori strat that I learned from a livestream, which is to put ten tiles in a row... but it didn't work! So I reloaded the game save (press the home button to reset the game before it saved - Mr. Resetti would not approve!) and tried again just with my normal strats, and it was perfect again!

He gave me a snowman model! It was pretty cool, and I put it right by my yard. I also made a mobile with my ornaments and hung it in the corner of my room.

I think I just took this picture for the beautiful skyline with the tree lights. It reminds me of a magical night sky.

I then decided to go to a mystery island! I was mainly thinking of it because listening to the soundtrack and hearing the snow themes for the island reminded me it will be winter on islands too. The first island was not that exciting, but it was snowing.

On the second (and last) island, I went to Bamboo Island! It was fun to wander around. I cut down the bamboo shoots to try and sell them to make some money. I'm hoping to pay off my final debt finally before the New Year!

I kept breaking all my tools while I was on this island, so I couldn't completely clear it out. It wasn't really worth it - I'll have to try again later to find better mystery islands.
