Letters to Jingle

[corvus516]

Dear Jingle,

I do hope this year's worth of giving goes well for you. The residents here in Byrde seem more unusual with their requests this year than ever before. When they finally drop a hint after at least five minutes of totally not suspicious pestering, I get told nothing more than something "yellow" or "aqua"... what do any of those mean? How are we supposed to make everyone happy this Toy Day when we don't even get told how to in the first place? They were somehow more helpful when telling me how to literally scare them during Halloween and that says a lot.

Some even want food as a present; not even wrapped or anything special, they seem perfectly fine with it simply being served right into their paws, hooves, wings, you name it. I don't understand why everyone in this town is acting like a bunch of anima- oh, right.

However, regardless of how vague and mildly irritating a journey can be, the end result is what counts, and I promise that (with your help of course) the residents of Byrde will end up having the greatest Toy Day yet!

Sincerely,
Mayor Delta.

Dearest Jingle,

I am sorry my letter is late this year, it's been one hell of a busy one. But as busy as it has been, I couldn't forget to send a few words over to you.

This year has been an amazing one, after a life of struggling to pay the bills in the city, I finally decided to purchase my getaway package and start a whole new life! I've made some great new friends, who are weird and also wonderful. The most memorable being Kiki the cat, we get along so well I am certain I knew her in another life! The first time we met, I was growing flowers outside my tent. She tripped and fell, couldn't stop sneezing and we laughed for ages.

That memory is one of many. I hope you are all prepared to start working this year! I have one request, I woulld love to get KiKi some allergy tablets so she can tend flowers with me again :3

Merry christmas!!

Gray :3

Jingle,

This Toy Day, instead of presents, Harbor has some little.. issues, that I could really use some help working out:

First, for the love of all that's good could you please personally tell Ruby that your sleigh isn't a UFO? She saw you test-driving it through that telescope of hers and has convinced herself you're some kind of alien and that the presents you hand out are an "experiment to collect data on animal lifeforms". Do your best to talk her down; she's making the other residents uncomfortable.

Next: do you have any advice on how to cure a phobia of snow? Poor Audie has been stuck in her house all winter because she thinks touching it will kill her or something. I guess she moved here thinking that islands never get cold..

Lastly, please bring a winter sweater for everyone? Bob promised them all he'd make homemade ones as gifts, but naturally, he got bored and gave up after about half an hour. The residents are all excited about their sweaters, and I'm garbage at knitting-- please save me.

Waiting impatiently,
Fog

Dearest Jingle,

Everyone in Hope Haven has had the Toy Day jitters since December 1st! ..Well. Everyone except the reason I'm writing youl: our oldest resident, Kabuki.

You see, he's.. how do I put this.. a humbug? A grinch? The fact is that Kabuki has less Toy Day spirit than Nook's shop after a Black Friday sale. He hasn't decorated, refuses to join in caroling, tree-trimming or the Secret Jingle gift exchange, and has told us to leave him out of any further holiday activities!

We've tried nudging him to be more festive-- Leopold and Raymond gave him a history lesson on the holiday and yourself; Fang helped Julian to make him a lovely glitter-encrusted Toy Day sweater; Reneigh and Sterling strung his yard up with lights, and Skye, Tiffany, and Kid Cat built an army of snowmen for him-- but nothing is working! He's grumpy as ever, and we're all worried about him.

As #1 bringer of holiday cheer, we're hoping that you can get Kabuki more excited about Toy Day!

Best of luck,
Candor

(PS: Tiffany and Julian said there's a surprise waiting for you and it has nothing to do with makeovers. So look forward to that!!)

　　　it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that stitches isn't with us anymore. I know he was looking forward to toy day, calling it a "celebration of his kind", but nonetheless, we just didn't see that flight to the voids unknown until it was too late. so therefore, I must request in his stead a favor to ask: for you to hold his gifts until he is well and settled into some other island in some other part of the world. I know he would graciously accept and cherish this sort of thing with all of his stitched-up teddy bear heart​

thanks, and please consider this

ps: you didn't actually think he died at any point while reading this, did you? why would I ever send such a depressingly morbid letter like that? it'd be way too sad

Dearest Jingle,

I’m writing to you on behalf of my friend Reneigh. I understand she’s already asked you for a sleigh to pull, but I implore you on behalf of all the residents of our island, please give her something to fix that hair. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her without hair in her eyes. She can’t possibly see where she’s going. Sometimes I see her doing those high jump kicks in front of resident services and I fear she may kick herself in the face. I don’t know what will fix this. Maybe a brush or a headband. Or maybe you could just give her a set of shears and get this over with.

Apprehensively yours,

ams

Dear Jingle,

I am writing to you today because I am in dire need of some new socks. Now I know you must be thinking, "Who in the world asks for socks as a gift?" Well, all my current ones have simply vanished thanks to the sock stealing device known as a "washing machine." It doesn't matter how close of an eye I am keeping on the thing, I just can never seem to make it out of a cycle with as many socks as I put in. Since we are only at the beginning of winter, it's going to get a lot colder and if I am going to continue about my daily affairs I need to have socks covering my feet. Preferably, I would thoroughly enjoy a hearty pair of fuzzy socks in the color pink (but honestly I'd be grateful for a paper napkin to cover these bad boys up).

Best travels and have a Happy Holidays!

- Bridget, Island Representative

Dear Jingle,

I have been the bestest girl this year. I totally did not eat all of Mom’s pie, nor did I use Merengue’s cake on a cooking show instead of sharing it with our villager friends as promised.

I’ve been doing my best to be less of a crybaby this year, and I try to study... sometimes anyways. My best subject is sleeping after all. No wait, actually it’s probably eating. No need to worry about being on time for school when I’m doing so well in sleeping after all.

Anyways, enough about what a good girl I’ve been this year. For Toy Day I don’t need any gifts this year. Just seeing you visit our Island of Moon Prism to spread joy with your smile and festive cheer is more than any gift I could ever want.

The 25th can’t get here fast enough.

Signed,
The bestest girl in the universe,
Your pal Usagi

PS. I know what I said earlier and I really do mean it, but I would love a delicious cake.

dear jingle,

last night i was visited by three ghosts in my dreams, tortimer the ghost of christmas past... he revealed a time where i was content with the more humble things in life; a single hybrid, a simple seashell, i was happy with a single bridge.. where terraforming wasn't the focal point of my life. i cared about villagers i liked, not about a tier list..

tom nook.. the ghost of christmas present.. i see everyone enjoying christmas together, without me... as i am too focussed on finding the right path to truly enjoy christmas, i stand there invisible to the world as they enjoy the celebrations without me.. i did not invite anyone here as i was too ashamed of my town

daisy mae... the ghost of christmas future.. the year is 2221, i have time travelled too far, every event is ruined as i have already done them, weeds engulf me, turnips are rotten everywhere........

i promise to try harder jingle.. i want to enjoy my town in the present

love mog

To Jingle the black-nose reindeer,

It's been a while since I have popped my head out of my house, and executed my mayorly duties. I'm writing to inform you that most of the villagers that were present in Wakuwaku have moved on from this quaint little town and acquired an "island getaway package", courtesy of Tom Nook. Villagers that do remain in this area haven't been as fortunate. Poor Marty isn’t enthusiastic to get out of the house. That tubby needs exercise and new equipment that isn't made of pudding. And Etoile is, unfortunately, the same, cooped up reading books to pass the time, she needs new material. Isabelle has addressed their behaviour is something regarding a "quarantine", but humbug! I assure you the villagers of this town wait in anticipation for Toy Day, along with myself. Deer-shaped cookies and milk will be waiting for you at my lovely home, and you are welcome to sit back and relax by the fireplace for as long as you wish.

P.S. Do you have anything to get rid of bedhead hair? Boy, was my nap a long one.

Kind regards and safe travels,
Mayor Katy

Dear Jingle.... if that is your REAL name.

Let me take you back, if you will.... to the mid 90s. 1996, to be exact. A time when dance music dominated the air waves, Independence Day was the summer movie, the Yankees won the World Series... and all I wanted, all that ANYONE wanted, was a "Tickle Me Marshal" doll. I wrote you a letter, asking for one. Do you remember what you got me...? An ugly sweater 3 sizes too big, and some socks. Seriously?????

So to you I say bah. BAH HUMBUG. You can take this letter and all the false promises of "if you're nice you'll get a lovely gift or two," and shove them where the proverbial winter solstice sun doesn't shine.

Unless.... you get me one of those dolls off eBay for $250....

Pretty pretty please with a Marshal Cherry on top,

Dearest Jingle,

Happy holidays! I know people usually write these letters to you to ask for something for themselves, but let's be real, that's not what the spirit of the season is about. I am writing on behalf of every resident on this island. You see, there is a stark class divide on Arendelle. There are those of us who work hard day in and day out, and then there's Tom Nook, growing fat on the profits of our work. Tom Nook makes his Bells by selling plots of land to unsuspecting villagers, never telling them that they will be forever stuck in a one room house with a crippling mortgage they can never pay off, and frankly, it's disgusting. All I want for Christmas is for all of my residents to have their mortgages paid off and their houses expanded so they too can live the good life Nook enjoys. And for heaven's sakes, give Isabelle her own house! That girl works hard enough and I think she sleeps in Resident Services under her desk.

POWER TO THE PROLETARIAT (and merry Christmas),
Resident Rep Leila of Arendelle

I’m not sure if I made you laugh enough but here is my letter to Jingle this year:

Dear Jingle,

I am writing you this year on behalf of Isle Tulsi and it’s residents.. as Toy Day rapidly approaches us we wait for your arrival in anticipation! I have a brief wishlist made up with items our friends on Tulsi would love to find under the tree outside of Resident Services this year - for the pop stars of Tulsi (Merry, Rosie, Bunnie, and Ruby) a new microphone stand and some GLAM GEAR! They are thinking about starting up a girl group come New Year and this would really help them with a jumpstart in the right direction!! For Punchy, a stocking FULL OF SNACKS!! Also, a cardboard box. For Tulsi book club members (Marina, Chevre, and Nana) an installment of tiny libraries! We need more places to store all of our literature.. Whitney has requested a whirlpool tub - living lavishly is sort of her thing, you see? And last but certainly not least *Plucky* our sisterly angel bird would appreciate an upgraded house because she’s still workin’ with a starter and she deserves more than that.. poor Chickypoo. Anywho, we love you Jingle!! We simply cannot wait to see you this year!

Looking Forward,
Hillareet

whoops I posted on the wrong thread somehow.

Dear Jingle,

Happy Toy Day! Sorry to send my letter so late. I've been thinking about what to ask for this year but had a lot on my mind. Recently there has been a rumour going around the Island that all our lives are fake. At first, I thought I could keep it on the down-low but recently people have begun to question it. Erik keeps saying that SO many things would make more sense, ya know. "How can I fit a whole climbing frame in my pocket? And ain't it weird that trees have three kinds of wood?"

They're getting too suspicious and it can't continue to happen. Also, that racoon has always been shifty but they're beginning to catch on that Tom doesn't make ANY kind of sense. I'm pretty sure Octavian began to realise it was weird that there's music everywhere he went the other evening but, luckily, he passed out before I had to silence him.

Jingle, please... if you have anything that can put a stop these rumours before they get out of hand it would be greatly appreciated. We can't let the islanders escape.

Yours Truly,
Ben

Dear Jingle,

I hope you are doing well and staying positive during these wild and crazy times! Since Christmas cheer is in the air, so is the sweet surprised of Pashmina's Holiday birthday extravaganza! And of course, you sir Jingle are invited to attend.

However, I must warn you one of the islanders, Grizzly is a little cranky this season. You see, Grizzly always wanted to have a snowy birthday and he is very jealous at the fact that Pashmina almost always has a snow party on their birthday. I guess my main wish is to have a snowy Christmas this year and for Grizzly to enjoy the snow party.

Yours truly,
Lexa, friend of Pashmina and Grizzly

Dear Mr. Jingle,

I am writing to you to express my gratitude for all those years you've made people happy with your visits and the gifts you bring during every holiday season... but I have an odd request to make. Recently Cube told me he sent you a letter asking for more bugs, but this needs to stop! No one dares go anywhere near his house anymore because of all the bugs he already has, especially ever since "the incident". No one really likes to talk about it, but I feel like it is my duty to inform you, so that you know the severity of the situation. One day, Boone was having a picnic near Cube's hose, everything was going great until he took a big bite of his egg salad sandwich and it crunched! An egg salad sandwich isn't supposed to crunch! Poor Boone, he hasn't been the same since then. Therefore me and all other Emerald residents would like to ask you to replace all of his bugs with toy bugs, don't let all egg salad sandwiches become crunchy!

Island Representative,
Yuki

Dear Jingle,

All I want for Christmas is for Tammy to move to another island. She's been here every since I moved to this island and no matter what I do, she doesn't want to leave. I've tried ignoring her, hitting her with a net, even sending her rude letters, but she just loves it here so much. I've even tried using an amiibo to try to kick her out, and guess what? She told me she wasn't going to move! So pretty please Jingle, slide down her chimney, put her in your mystery bag and drop her onto any other island, preferable one far far away from me.

Merry Christmas,
Pepper

 

[Rosaline]

Dear Jingle,

I'm so excited for you to stop by our island this Christmas season! It's a work in progress of course, as we only started building it up in March of 2020, but it's come so far since then! The residents of the island are all so excited to meet you for the first time in their new island homes. We even have a book club on the island, and for the month of December the members of the club chose to read Toy Day-themed books to celebrate the season Isabelle has been decorating our residential services building to make it festive and cheery, and we have a heavy layer of snow on the ground as well as lights in many of the cedar trees to help you guide your way to the island of Oattuccino! We can't wait to welcome you to the island.

P.S. If you happen to see Lucha on your journey to Oattuccino, DO NOT ENGAGE. We had a tough enough time getting him off the island back in April. We certainly do not want to start 2021 with him as a resident.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Resident Rep Sarah

Dearest Jingle,

Listen. I know that you've been watching. I know that you've put me on the Naughty List, BUT LISTEN- I can explain everything!

1. Waking my villagers up at 4am to move their house for the 50th time: This might look bad at first, but it's honestly for their own good. Doesn't it get boring living in the same spot, with the same sights, day after day? Every time they relocate, it's like a new adventure! Plus, I'm making sure they don't sleep in too long- the early bird gets the worm!

2. Destroying the island's environment by flattening everything and removing all rivers, turning it into a barren wasteland where freshwater fish are homeless: Okay, that was pretty bad, but I fixed it! ...sort of. Partially. Sure, it might look worse after the makeover but... it's the thought that counts, right?

3. Hitting Dom with a net to get rid of his thought bubble: ...There is no excuse. I really am a horrible Representative, aren't I? I accept my lump of coal.

I'm sorry, I promise I'll be good next year! (Probably)
