Letters to Jingle

Dear Jingle,

It’s Ree again. I’m having a bit of an existential crisis and I was hoping you might be able to help.

You see, ever since I caught this flight to Gont a month ago I can’t help but feel that everything from... before getting on the plane wasn’t real. That I was simply called into existence so I could decorate my house according to someone else’s preplanned designs and fill my storage with an odd assortment of art, fossils, and snowflakes. The other residents here keep talking about a Roriander who I have never met.

I know this sounds crazy, but do you ever get the feeling you only exist to fulfil some predetermined role, that you might exist for a day then simply cease to exist until you are needed again? I know, it’s silly. Perhaps I’ve just been spending too much time talking to snowboys.

Please write back soon. I know you’re busy but I thought maybe you’d understand.

With love,

Ree of Gont
 
Dear Jingle,

This year or should I say last month since I moved to this new island has been hectic for me. Even though I just shortly moved in, my villagers has been giving me stuff like crazy once I befriend them. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting presents, but they don’t feel like presents. My villagers say they’re giving me stuff they don’t want and the thing is, I don’t want it either. Lately it’s just been junk after junk.

My simple request to you is, could you somehow magically get the stores to not sell junk? This way the villagers don’t buy it and go, “Oh, I actually don’t like this, but I bet I know who does! The island representative could surely use it to decorate or something!”

I really don’t want to have to decorate the island or even my home with this stuff and I surely will never use it, so please, oh please do this request for me. I want to be happy and my villagers to be happy with what they buy.

Sincerely,

Animal Bay’s Island Representative Alyssa
 
Dear Jingle,

It's been a rough year on Pelham. A villager showed up who's story absolutely breaks my heart. He is a dorky looking cat named Raymond. He arrived on Pelham to escape abuse from previous island representatives who insisted he wear maid outfits and sing Bubblegum K.K. on livestreams in front of thousands of people. The events that led him here have been truly tragic in nature and he has many psychological problems to work through.

Raymond is frequently harassed by people sneaking onto Redd's boat who have to be forcefully removed from the island of Pelham by Tom Nook. Please, what I really want for Christmas is for more people to be aware of Raymond's GoFundMe so he can afford all of his restraining order court visits and psychological counseling sessions. We have nearly exhausted our town budget taking care of him and we are now in severe debt to the United Nations of Nintendo Entities. We fear they may soon foreclose on Brewster's and take away all the Gyroids.

With desperation,
Jeff.
 
Dear Jingle,

Hasn't it been quite a year? I hope you are well.

This year, I would like to ask for a gift on behalf of everyone on this island. You see, Narnia's rocket program is nearing completion, and for our test run we would like to take Raymond and see just how far into deep space we can send him! Please, we are seriously tired of hearing about him all the time. We would love to see him delivered to us directly, but are willing to accept Nook Mile Tickets for this cause as well.

If you are concerned by the potential legal stuff, I suppose that like every other year, toys will do... And also important: any comments from Isabelle regarding our behaviour this year will likely be a complete fabrication. We ask you to not consider them.

Looking forward to Toy Day!
- Michel, representative of Narnia
 
Dear Jingle,

I need your help! It's about to be the worsted Yarn Isle Toy Day ever! Everyone is unraveling at the seams trying to find the perfect gift.

My neigh-bor, Reneigh is debating whether or not a comb would be too insensitive for Apollo. Her backup plan is to give him a flight jacket but she needs some help deciding on a color and size.

About a week ago, Cube fell out of Aurora's favor and her window. She invited him for a nice romantic dinner but he showed up in a shirt with stains all over it and a basket of bruised apples as a thank you. Luckily she only defenestrated him from the first floor. Cube could use a nice tux to help him get back in her good graces.

Diana has been frantically going through the racks at the Able Sisters looking for an ugly holiday sweater for Marshal. The poor deer said that she hasn't found anything nutty enough for him. Does a sweater with an acorn print exist or is it a DIY?

Sincerely,
Lily from Yarn Isle

PS: The island, not in a craft store.
 
Dear Jingle,

I know you're down in the dumps this year, but I have a very important favor to ask of you. (Jingle, I don't mean dumpster diving, I mean I know you're sad. I'd hope you weren't doing that.)
You see, earlier this year, I learned that Olivia has a huge crush on Wolfgang. Ever since he gave her a white Windflower, (And boy, did she make him run! I heard him say, "Oh no, I messed up!" as he passed me. I guess he missed his daily running time or something?) she's been different. I'd say she's hopelessly in love. Unfortunately, Wolfgang is too busy exercising when she comes around. Every time he sees her, he starts running away! I didn't think a cranky wolf like him would be into fitness like that. It seems that him doing cardio makes her sad, (Every time he runs, she goes from 😻 to 😿 ) so if you could find a way to get Wolfgang to lay off a bit on his wanting to build up his legs, and get him to talk to her, I'd be very happy.
Sincerely,
Kylie

Dearest Jingle,

I write to you about the humans I share my island with. These are my wishes for them.

For my brother:
THIS MAN can't help but leave his DIYs all over our island. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate how he peeps inside villagers' homes only to leave them dazed and confused at his hasty retreat should they be anywhere but the crafting table, but come on. If he goes to read a DIY card and it's not brimming with new inspirations, he just... drops it on the floor. Just right there. Please bring my brother a pocket-sized paper shredder this Christmas night.

For my lovely sister:
She's a hopeless romantic. It's adorable, almost. At least it would be if it weren't for her obsessive flower breeding hobby. "I just need a purple hyacinth!" No girl, what you need is a shovel to dig up these intermediate and reject blooms with. Please bring my sister a spade this Toy Day.

Me? Well, I'm perfect, but if my villagers could pick up all those branches I leave behind when hunting for acorns (you sure know I'm not gonna clean that up) that would be faaann-tastic.

Festive Regards,
kikotoot

These are not how my real siblings are (I don't even have a brother :p), but thought it would be a fun subject matter to write about
 
Dearest Jingle,

Everyone keeps talking about Toy Day and what joy you'll bring. Some want new clothes, others want a new toy or two. As for me, I have two requests this year.

First, I would really love some more custom design slots on my NookPhone. You see, as Island Representative I'm under a lot of pressure to make this Island the crown jewel of the sea. Unfortunately, I have the creativity of a rock. I have so many good ideas, but lack the skill to bring them to life. I went to school for science, not art! The only way I can add good artistic flare to my island is by using designs that other people have so generously made. However, I'm already out of slots and there's much work to be done. You seem like a Reindeer with an appreciation for art. Please help me make Qilin Isle look fantastic!

Second, please explain to Mabel how much easier it would be to buy multiple things at once. Entering the dressing room repeatedly is annoying. I love her, but come on. I just want to buy all the things and save all the time.

Thanks! Happy Toy Day :)

Dear Jingle,

I would like to thank you for everything that you've done for the residents of the island of Wackiki. Apparently, there is more work that must be taken care of. I would like to clear up a few things that have happened since the beginning of the month on the island.

The islanders have been clamoring over who replaced some of their presents with rotten fruit underneath the festive tree next to the Town Hall. And to make matters worse, tarantulas and scorpions have attempted to claim residency on the vacant housing plots! Isabelle also sat upon an inflated whoopee cushion found on her office chair this morning.

Some of the islanders have suspected that the real culprit of this pandemonium could've been Tom Nook since I only gave him a bag full of cockroaches instead of a bag of bells. I couldn't afford to pay off my home loan, so I decided that a bag of roaches would be perfect to give to him. As representative of the island of Wackiki, I am kindly asking for you to bring back the peacefulness and joy that used to be on Wackiki.

Much thanks,

Sash from Wackiki
 
My friend Jingle,

hope this letter finds you well. (We're all so sorry you got fired from that modeling gig, some people are just so intolerant to those with mouths on one side of their face... Beauty standards amirite?)

I'm writing to you on behalf of my good friend Ruby. You know Ruby, right? Bright red eyes, kinda cute, very hyper, super into trains or something?

So, Ruby wanted to make sure that you knew that her birthday's on the 25th, so if you're gonna be here then, you better bring her a birthday gift to her party as well. She was very adamant that Toy Day and her birthday are completely unrelated celebrations and therefore deserve completely separate rewar- I mean... Tokens of friendship. Her words, not mine.

My advice would be to avoid getting an angry letter on the 26th about how she's never received a birthday gift before since people always get her something on Toy Day for both dates and just bring her two separate, completely different gifts. That rabbit's been to the Moon, man. Don't mess with her.

Anyhow, consider this letter a warning I guess.

See you on the 24th!

Love, River.
 
Dear Jingle,
I’ve been naughty, and I’ve lost my spirit of Christmas. I’ve been distracted by too many things that do not matter. I’ve been selfish, crabby, gluttonous and many other not-good things. I know you’re disappointed in me, but I can do better!
Would it help if I did some penance? Will that convince you of my sincerity?
Very well. I pledge, henceforth and forthwith, from now through Christmas, I will:
  1. Listen, non-stop, to the most peppy, corny, saccharine Christmas music I can find. And, so that you’ll know I’m in earnest, I will even sing along.
  2. Purchase a fruit cake. And eat it. (The resulting sugar high will power me through the rest of this list.)
  3. I’ll dig out that old Santa hat. You know the one where the white has turned to a dingy grey? I’ll wear it. I’ll even sleep in it!
  4. I’ll say hello to friends I know and everyone I meet! (And smile while doing it!)
If you have any other ideas for my penance, just say the word. I’ll do it!
Starting right now, I promise to do better. I will find my Christmas spirit, and help others find there’s, too!

Bekaa
 
Dear Jingle, I hope you have your mask and hand sanitizer ready for this year’s Christmas which reminds me can you please give Cherry & Roald masks and sanitizers for Christmas since they haven’t been bothered to buy any yet and they do know about COVID-19 because they watch the news on their TVs, I know right how naughty but they have been good to me so I don’t think they deserve coal in their stockings and can you please convince Brewster to open a cafe on my island since everyone wants to try coffee and there’s no cafe here it would really mean a lot to the villagers and if Brewster would like some help I wouldn’t mind giving him hand.

Yours sincerely Resident Sophie from Sunshine island
 
Dear Jingle,

Hi, I am Jen and am the representative of Serenity. I am looking forward to meeting you soon, I have heard so many great things about you.

We are loving all of the wonderful toys and decorations on the island right now. Everything looks great and we are all in a very festive mood and excited for Toy Day!

If we could just make one tiny request, it would be more custom design slots. My villagers want to be creative around the island and I will not share my precious design slots with them! Some of them are a little upset and it is creating some tension. I think this could be resolved easily, but I am hoping for your generosity and kindness!

Thank you so much,

Jen of Serenity
 
Dearest Jingle,

That time of year has come again, when the ground has turned white and the air feels cold. It’ll be the first time our island celebrates Toy Day! Hope to make it a special one.

On that note, please help! I have absolutely no clue what to get my residents. I give them little presents daily, but I want Toy Day to stand out! I can tell you Maple and Fauna love to read, Marshal and Raymond want to be famous, Diana is extremely elegant, Sherb and Erik are honestly kind of nasty but they love food, Audie wants to be a singer, Dom only works out, and Fuchsia... Fuchsia is actually new so I am even more worried about a super exclusive wonderful stand out present for her.

Jingle, please help me pick the best things ever for these folks and make it the best first Toy Day on the island.

With love,
Piggleton
 
EMERGENCY - Mr. Jingle I hope this letter reaches you in HASTE,


I don't know what happened... it seemed like just a minute ago it was fall. I was picking up mushrooms. Catching maple leaves. Planting pumpkins. I JUST FINISHED HALLOWEEN. All of the sudden, everything went black as it does after a fun day of playing, I wake up and step outside and its DECEMBER 23rd!! I'm not sure how time skipped so quickly, but I've missed everything: the preparation, the letters, the decorating. Please, please don't forget about us in Lawai'i this year. I will have my neighbors send out letters IMMEDIATELY with their wish lists. All I need this year is a comb, I can't seem to shake off this bedhead I've developed. And maybe a godzilla statue.


Confused but with love,

Jacob from Lawai'i

sorry im not much of a writer
 
Dear Jingle,

I am writing from the island of Kapalua to inform you that the Villainous villagers have been acting up again. Ursala, Hans, and Queenie have certainly been naughty this year. It started this Fall when they were constantly asking me to deliver gifts to apologize for their antics with our other residents. They seem to have some jealously and anger issues.

This winter they have been stocking up on toys from Nooks. So much so that the other villagers havent had much luck in getting the latest models. I hope that you can stop by to make sure that our sweet residents - Buzz, Aurora, Flora, and Alice have some fun this holiday season! They could really use it!

Can’t wait to host you - we’ve been stocking up on cupcakes and other treats!

See you soon,
Sarah, Kapalua Resident Services
 
Dearest Jingle,

I hope the year has treated you well. Every day, Poncho asks me if I've been working on my calves and I don't have the heart to tell him that I haven't. So this year, I am asking for some REALLY baggy pants. Like, super-duper baggy pants like those skater jeans from the 90s BUT they have to be fashionable. They have to look fresh enough to make Whitney herself want to wear them so they become the next trend. If everyone wears baggy pants, there's no way Poncho can catch a glimpse of my atrophying leg muscles!

Of course, if this is too difficult to procure such a thing, I am also willing to accept thigh high converse shoes so that I can make the excuse of not wanting to re-lace them every time Poncho asks me about my progress.

All the best,
Mayor Pringles
 
Dear Jingle,

You may be wondering why you haven't received letters from anyone here yet. The reason? There's no post office on the island! We were set to hire three wonderful pelicans to handle our mail, but at the last minute, Isabelle said absolutely not and put in a tiny, charmless postcard stand at the airport where it costs a whole 200 Bells per letter, and no one can afford that inordinate price! I think the reason she vetoed our decision is because she's jealous of them since they're more entertaining and she thinks they'll end up taking her job at Resident Services.

So I got all my neighbours to write down what they want from you for Toy Day. Their requests are enclosed. I ask you to grant them all except for Filbert's; please give him sanitizer instead of live ants. Better yet, an exterminator. It's for his own good. I'm also suspicious of Tipper's bottle rocket, but as I haven't known her long, I'll trust your judgement there.

As for me, all I want for Toy Day is for Pelly, Phyllis, and Pete to have jobs here. They're unemployed for Toy Day - how sad is that?!

Sincerely,

Ben
 
Hey Jingle!
Not to sound like Isabelle, but I found my weird missing red sock with a spaghetti pattern three days ago and thought of you - so today I decided to write you a letter!

You wouldn't guess it, but yesterday I realised that you are basically me:
1. I love the winter holiday too.
2. I also take my bag anywhere I go.
3. Most importantly, I love secretly snacking Erik's canned reindeer food. (I caught you doing that last year, don't even try to deny it.)
Good golly gee, as a real human that was a tough one to admit.
Oh, my nose ain't black though.

... Was that enough bonding and small talk before I can start asking you for free stuff? (Wow, now I feel like I'm talking to my aunt, thanks a bunch.) Hey hey, I'm just joking, I know that you love your job, you are our collective sweet sugar daddy!

Sooooo please give me like... Ten? Royal crowns. Or like twenty if that's possible by any chance? Or honestly just as many as you can carry. And some good old NMT for trading.

I love you! You are the best!! Thanks sooo much!!
