Letters to Jingle

[Ginkgo]

Suddenly I am teleported back to the creative writing classes I had to sit through in high school. Slightly embarrassing but here goes

Spoiler: Entry

Jingle,
I'm not asking for a lot this year. Matter of fact, the only reason I'm asking in the first place is to relieve me from the psychological distress I've been suffering these past six months.

You might've gotten a Letter of Recommendation in the mail from me last month in which I allegedly called Redd a paradigm of entrepreneurship and said he should be rewarded generously this winter. Except I didn't. It's fake as hell, and you know it. Not only do I not know what "paradigm" even means, this man can't fake a signature to save his life. This man modeled a Rolex on the Discobolus of Myron with Fimo clay. Not that it matters because my villagers are still stupid enough to buy it anyway. And send it to me.

So before you squeeze your wagon (not talking 'bout the sleigh) through his skinny chimney on Toy Night, please consider the following:

1. He's bad.
2. I hate him.

There're some snowflakes on the floor by the beach, he can have those. If I see one singular bell on his dirty wet boat carpet I'm suing for emotional damages.

With bated breath and three fake paintings,
Ken

Hope this counts!

Spoiler: Letter To Jingle

Dear Jingle,
this year will be my first time meeting you in person. I'm very excited that you will be visiting my island of all places!

I've heard many rumors surrounding you, like how you're not the real Santa Claus, and a couple of villagers have been saying you're kinda sus--what with that odd bag you carry around that makes weird "ho-ho-ho" sounds, but I don't listen to rumors-- they come from a place of negativity. The important thing is you make dreams and wishes come true and you bring much joy to everyone on Chr-- I mean, Toy Day!

This year, I've been a very good mayor running errands for villagers that are literally two steps away from each other, paying 100% of this Island's taxes, paying off all my loans, and keeping Peitro from moving in. I'm starting to think Tom Nook duped me into believing I was mayor just to do all his dirty work and pay off all his loans, but nah...that's just crazy!

I only ask but one thing this Toy Day. Something that'll make many others happy as well... Please tell Nintendo we want the Brewster coffee building from New Leaf back!

Thank you.

 

[will.]

dear jingle,

this year has been quite a mess, and everyone in town is desperately waiting for your arrival. unfortunately i've been gone for quite some time now, and the island is an utter mess. the residents are starving and in desperate need of cash as well. maybe you could bring some bare necessities this year? everyone thinks that i abandoned them but i'm not that worried.. hopefully your visit will bring the cheer that this island is in much need of.

when you arrive, feel free to pick up some weeds and dig up some fossils, and drop them by my house! i'll see them in a couple months hopefully.

see you soon! (or not...)
will from pasteque

Dear Jingle,

All of the residents of Sakura had completed their holiday wish lists and were preparing to mail them when Hamlet had the brilliant idea to run them to the North Pole instead! Before anyone could say or do anything to stop him, he grabbed all the letters and sprinted off. Unfortunately, he had not given his plan proper thought. As soon as he reached the beach, he knew he had messed up, but Hamlet is not the type to give up so easily. He backed up to get a good start and tried to go fast enough to run straight over the water without sinking! Obviously, his poorly conceived plan failed and he was washed ashore looking much like our poor friend Gulliver. Sadly, all of the letters were lost, washed away in the current, never to be seen again.

I do so hope that this letter brings a smile to your face and maybe even gets a chuckle or two. We are all still very excited to see you this holiday season. Regardless of what presents you bring, I'm sure your presence will bring us joy.

Happy Holidays!
Destani

Yo Jingle:

It’s resident Renn of Pokki and I’m here to say
There’s been too much trash on the river today
Whatever those jerks in Othertown are doin’
It’s preventing our folks from good clean canoeing

We need some nets, some big-@$$ nets
The kind that trawls behind boats and jets (skis)
I know you have the means, the sources, and the leads,
To get our dirty island the cleaning crew it needs

With your shiny black nose and fur so sable,
And trendy winter fashion that inspires sisters Able
I believe you’re pivotal to our Green New Deal
To make our trash-free-fishing dreams real

Come back to Pokki; you’re always welcome here
There is no other more beloved reindeer
I promise you a quiet, no-hassle retreat
Or a loyal stan crowd chasing you down the street

Whatever you want, just please hurry up
This ain’t no latte in my coffee cup
We can’t keep pretending these tires are art
Help us this holiday if you have a heart.

-Renn of Pokki

 

[Hatori]

Please help, Jingle!



How have you been this year? I hope you have been keeping safe -- times are hard here in Hakkyou. The atmosphere is dense and the tension is palpable. Everyone has become so restless, constantly chanting your name around the bonfire in hopes to summon you before Toy Day! They must really be yearning for their gifts; it's honestly a bit unsettling. Please have them understand that patience is a virtue and the long-anticipated Toy Day will soon come around! As a forewarning, please be careful when you do finally stop by. All I ask is for some peace and quiet for once. I can't sleep anymore.



Please don't sue me if something happens.

Akira

Dear Jingle,

So I heard through the grapevine that you like 90s Hip Hop! Now, All I Need is for you to take your sleigh back ten or twenty years to listen to some good music! Just kidding, you can listen to whatever floats your boat, er….. flies your sleigh to say, but if you change your mind, I’ll Be There! Speaking of music, I noticed when I walk outside my house, the music playing outside has a new little bell sound! It’s kinda like a little jingle sound that... wait did I say jingle? Please don’t tell me this is your way of saying you see me when I’m sleeping and you know when I’m awake because that's just creepy. Have you been hanging out with Zipper again? I told you, he’s a bad influence, and he’s got enough creepiness for all of us! Well that about wraps up my letter, so Happy Holidays to you and hope to see you on Toy Day!

Holiday Wishes,
Lavamaize

Dearest Jingle

I've ben a good girl and done all my chores ready for Christmas! I've watered the flowers, although they kind of.. aren't growing anymore...um.. but I've cut wood for the fireplace, There should be some more trees around in the mountains so don't worry about the stumps. I've even picked up the slack and sent presents to villagers, not sure why but they really like socks. Bunnie has also been a good girl helping Charli Me out, she's the most helpful villager of all so don't forget her present the most, okay? Tee-hee.

All of us are excitedly awaiting your arrival, so come soon~

Signed, Charli

P.s this really isn't Bunnie!

Dear Jingle,

I've had a busy year as the island rep of Seabrook and I'm not always around to spread cheer with my neighbors. I feel bad when they come looking for me while I'm inside working away in another world.

All I ask for this holiday is for you to make everyone's dreams come true. Chevre and Nan have been wishing for new books to swap, Dom is looking to expand his collection of weights and Sherb just dreams of a warm plate of chocolate chip cookies! All of the villagers here are generous, hard-working and a little goofy at times. Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry, but hey that's what makes it a special place in my heart!

We started our town with just a few tents and a lot of debt in what feels like the longest year ever. Our town isn't the largest but we all enjoy each other's company and the little community we have here. We hope you enjoy your stay and thank you for visiting us!

Yours truly,

Aliya

Dear Jingle,

We are excited for you to show up on our island, apparently its mostly for the gifts.
Being Santa for the past few years was an experience though, a fun one.
But I feel like they like gifts more than you, but I think that's false, since we do come for both to be honest.
Even if our lazy villagers do pranks, all of our villagers are behaved still.
But I did caught one red handed for storing bugs in a villagers stocking, don't worry though, they apologized and they behaved after that. All of the villagers told me what they wanted for Toy Day, although they wanted a bigger prize that could be shared with everyone. And that is Nooks Cranny being upgraded. I feel like the buildings on our island, hasn't changed that much except for the seasonal decor. It would be nice if you could give us a bigger and better Nooks Cranny.
I feel like if we upgrade Nooks Cranny, we could buy more presents for next year's Toy day.
Now would that be nice if we could have more items for sale?

Dear Jingle,

I would love for you to come to Glimwood this year. It’s rather beautiful, if I say so myself. However, there’s one thing I must warn you about—the Glimmering Weald. Some say that an ancient beast lives within its depths. I’ve also heard reports that an ancient relic is housed deep inside. Some also say that’s just Dobie and Clay. They’re pretty good neighbors.
I hope you can also stay at our relaxing campsite. It’s been freshly renovated to help ensure a nice stay.
I can assure you we’ve all been on our best behavior, and we have the town decorated for your visit! We’re all looking forward to an exciting night!
See you soon! Wear your mask!

Greetings Jingle,

After the disaster that was last Christmas (How could you just leave like that, and then proceed to mail everyone's presents?), I didn't think I'd find myself writing to you once again. I'm certain you do not wish to speak with me again either, but alas, I need your help.

Now, before you shred this letter into a million pieces or toss it into the hearth (or both I suppose, depending on how angry this letter finds you), Elfhame is in trouble. Many of our residents, including the snowboys, have gotten into heated arguments with one another, and have vowed to never speak to each other again. Others can barely tolerate living near each other and have plans of leaving Elfhame entirely!

Join me, my joyous reindeer, and help me spread holiday cheer to our residents. I will deliver presents if that will make you more willing. Your presence alone can bring joy to everyone on Elfhame, so I urge you to consider. Beau will keep his bugs away and Stitches will not touch your cookies this time-you have my word.

I'd hate for my title as island representative to be largely decorative.

Expectantly,

Noura

Dear Jingle,

The witches of the Coven have been waiting for this season for so long! I as the supreme will hereby request you some gift ideas for my sisters in the robichaux's academy. Muffy has been really interested in herbs lately so I think she would really like a herb garden kit. Judy on the other hand totally wants a baking oven! From the past month, she NEVER stopped talking about baking and how fun it is. Although, im not sure but I think Eunice wants something related to exercise but I think she's too embarrassed to admit it lol.
Moving on, I guess Queenie wants some more hair-care things to expand her vast collection.
Thank you for making the end of 2020 a bit better~

Sincerely,
The Supreme

Hey Jingle,
Normally I'd be writing to you at this time of year to let you know what all of my neighbors would like for Toy Day, but this year I have a big problem.

As you know, I was elected mayor of my town back in 2013, and to be honest up until now I've been livin' on easy street. If I wanted a fountain? BOOM there it was. Didn't like a resident in my town? BANG they were gone. I even had the most delicious fruit you could imagine, almost like it was perfect. Everything was aces.

This past March I started noticing some weird characters I'd never seen before lurking around my train station handing out pamphlets to the locals. One was this cool cat with glasses, seemed real business-like, and the other looked like a Sid Vicious wannabe, 'cept he had a bigger nose. Then all of a sudden my neighbors just started up and leaving, heading for 'new horizons' they said...some kind of island paradise. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

All I want this year Jingle is some intel. What's this new place got that I don't have?

Sincerely,
Mayor Fox

 

[glow]

Dear Jingle,

I humbly write to you with just one request
A restraining order against one we all detest
Once an annual fear,
now came TWICE this year!

With his "gifts" he brought
I'm sure it was our souls that he actually sought
The island was infested
and our patience was tested
For natural wood, I tried to beg
but all I found was a cursed wood egg

Once the leaves fell down from the trees
We thought we would finally have some peace
then, oh that poor Jack -
Halloween was hijacked!
He twisted it, and called it "Halloweaster"
We were the feast, and he was the feaster
And worse, was his riddles
Cryptic nonsense meant to belittle

Jingle, I know this plea may sound funny
But for ALL our sakes
Please let us enjoy Toy Day
Free of Zipper T Bunny

Sincerely,

Fae of Elysium

 

[Zakira]

Hello Jingle!

As you may or may not know, I have been exceedingly good this year. I have generously paid for all of the bridge and incline construction on the island for my fellow residents to use and enjoy. In the spirit of giving, I also hand pick and personally deliver gifts to each of my fellow villagers everyday just to make them smile only to receive nothing but workout gear in return. Just yesterday both Mira and Lily gave me a cycling cap. What am I to do with two of those when I don't even cycle? Despite how the lack of thought in the gifts pains me I always accept them gratefully. If this doesn't put me on the nice list I don't know what will! This holiday season I hope for a gift more suited to my tastes and I know that you're the man for the job. Pretty please!

With Appreciation, Zakira

Dear Jingle,

So... who made it on the Naughty List this year? Go on, you can tell me! I can't help but be curious. I mean, everyone's been so good this year so I can't help but be proud, but I know at least someone's made it onto the Naughty List. Its Judy, isn't it? She loves to pull pranks on everyone in town so it has to be her! Just last week, I saw her replacing Axel's 50 pound weights with 30 pound ones! Sure... that might not seem that evil, but she had to have been up to something, right? Her and Shari were also arguing about dung beetles or something the other day... I think that she might've insulted Shari's bug collection! I can't help but be suspicious, Jingle, and I need the nitty gritty details. When you get here on Toy Day, you gotta tell me everything. Maybe there will be some extra cookies in it for you!

The Top of the Nice List,
Micheal

 

[Firesquids]

A message to Jingle, the black-nosed reindeer,
I am FINISHED living in fear.

For you see, I know you’ve been watching me.
I’ve seen the lenses gleaming through holly.

The elves on shelves who serve your great plan,
to survey all those who reside in this land.

But not this year. No, not in my home.
This is your warning (in the form of a poem)

Yule not find a chimney to sneak yourself through.
My fire is raging, if you try, you’re screwed.

No cookies, no milk, you’re not welcome here.
My suspicions began December last year.

As I laid peaceful, asleep in my bed,
visions of perfect fruits afloat in my head,

I was jostled awake by footsteps above.
I rushed to my door to see what was up.

I peeked ‘round the corner, quick as a flea,
shocked and appalled by what I did see.

Jingle the reindeer, criminal mind,
concealing a mic in holiday twine!

This year I’m ready, conviction steadfast.
The comfort of restful nights long since passed.

Yule find only traps beneath this tree,
a Toy Day surprise is waiting for thee.

Signed, a very sincere Mayor Roxie

 

[Mercedes]

Jingle,
I know I haven’t been that behaved this year, why just yesterday I beat up Raymond with a bug net for making a smug comment about Purrl, saying she is privileged for having more bells than him. Can you believe that grimy ugly cat?! So I am writing you to ask for a toy hammer. Something I can continue to beat him with untill he leaves Estrella. He also has been upsetting Axel and Sparro. Saying they have no lives and that’s why they are “athletic dorks.” Even though he is the dork because of his ugly glasses! Please jingle I beg of you. Give me a toy hammer!

Dear Jingle,

Navis and all its villagers hope to see you very soon!
We’ve all been preparing the island as much as we could for your arrival!
Everyone is very excited, and we’ve already sent all our gift lists to you.
When you do come, please disregard the random square ponds and the ramps which lead nowhere scattered around the island, they’re part of our holiday spirit traditions.
Also, do not go past the northern river… there lies the witches’ cursed forest where Gigi, Diva and Jambette reside. They’re not too fond of Christmas and all the decorations I set up on the trees next to their houses.
Other than this and the small pentagram Becky set up near the sea which she uses for unknown spiritism purposes, you should be good!
We’re all waiting very impatiently for you!

Best regards, Hyacinth, Island representative of Navis.
