Which left myself and Holliday native RhondaCat looking nervously over the table at each other, silently wondering who would reap the larger share of the uneven booty. It was a tough negotiation, but I walked away with 11 unique items and she took all the duplicates and the Jingle Shirt.

Later, Jingle sent us both a phony-baloney holiday letter and the NES game Balloon Fight, which I already had bought from Crazy Redd back in September for 12,000 bells. Cruel fate!

The only other news of late is my quest to perfect Adamsvil. The town Wishing Well is some sort of landscaping guardian spirit. Every day it judges the town, according to some crazy tree-counting logorithm. Once you hit 15 days or so of perfection, the Well hands over a rare item.

Holliday, I am informed, has already achieved this. In fact, prior to our Jingle Summit, RhondaCat used this status to actively recruit Adamsvil villagers into her town. To this day, my people are still showing me her letters.

To Future Citizen Grizzly: Why not relocate to Holliday? Our town is perfect by all accounts, and we have a much better Museum. And if you like fishing, Holliday is the place to be! Signed, Perfect Town RhondaCat.

So far, only the flighty and shiftless Boots has taken up RhondaCat on her offer. Although I liked having an alligator around for pure scare value, his house was right in the middle of my orchard, so good riddance.
