Letters to Jingle

[haileyphi]

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Oh sorry, I was just writing an original song for my island theme! They say K.K. is the biggest star to visit us, but I think it's really myself.

Anyhow, the point of this letter was to reach out to let you know that I need some help.

I love advent calendars. They are my favorite Christmas gift. And this year, I wanted to make some extra special advent calendars for all my villagers and friends! I made this whole plan, I would slide down their chimneys each night and drop off a single present each night, up until Christmas! My villagers loved it so much, but I ran into some trouble last night when I decided to give Mr. Nook the same love and drop of some presents for him, but I guess I popped in right when he was enjoying his late night snack and I maay have scared him...a lot.

To get to the point, he's taking me to court for breaking and entering(as if I haven't given him enough money already...). So I was wondering, for Christmas can I have really good lawyer?

Mayor Hailey

Jingle,
I apologize for writing to you on Toy Day. Though, the events of last night lead me to believe that you have plenty of time on your hands. Regardless, I hope this letter finds you well. I think you know why I'm contacting you. It was unwise of you to have a smooch fest with the best friend of one of the most... sociable villagers in town. Bianca couldn't keep her mouth shut for a second. She was quite shocked to see her dearest friend canoodling with Jingle himself! She said, and I quote, "I knew Annalisa was totes into deers, but I didn't know she was talking about HIM!" On your next trip to Hallownest, please refrain from snuggling up with another villager while the windows are open and the lights are on.

Sincerely,
frog

Dear Jingle, my most favorite reindeer ,

I have but one wish this year, my dear Jingle. It's for my bestest friend on this island, Roald. I have seen him working so hard this year to buff up and become strong, running miles around the island and lifting weights twice his size. Despite this, however, his physique still resembles that of a large marshmallow. That is why I am requesting you to bring him one Instant Muscles Suit, for it would make him the happiest little penguin in the whole world. Please don't tell him I asked, though. It'll be our little secret.

Sighed,
Kate of Windfall

(i'm sorry this is kind of cringe i'm not a funny person OR a good writer lmao)

Dear Jingle,

About what happened last year, I would like to apologize. It was an honest mistake- at the time I did not have my glasses on, it was hazy and snowing and I SWORE I could make out a balloon in the sky. That's why I shot- I did NOT know it was you and your sled, I PROMISE you. We both know though that it was my fault- I know that's why I got coal last year... However, it's a new year and I'd like to start fresh with you- from then on I have always been sure to wear my glasses while using my slingshot. I've even stopped eating venison and I'm going to leave you some oatmeal cookies by my tree on Christmas eve. Best wishes, and happy holidays.

Island representative, Capri

Dear Jingle,

I'm writing on behalf of my bear cubs, who I'm certain are all on your "Nice" list.

Blue Bear often talks about the moon and stars, so I thought you might bring her a telescope.

Cheri wants to be a pop star and loves to sing, so a microphone would be perfect for her.

Judy is into fashion so she'd be thrilled with a new dress.

June loves the beach and a shell wreath for her front door would be a nice reminder of warm days during the long winter.

Tammy is in a book club and I think a bookcase would be perfect for her.

Vladimir loves to fish, so a new fishing vest will be a big hit with him.

Stitches loves bugs, so I'm thinking he'd go crazy over a bug model.

Pudge loves snacks, so fill his stocking with sweet treats. He especially likes oranges.

Poncho spends most of his time working out, so he'd really appreciate a new weight bench.

Yours,
Lisa of MysticReef

 

[Miharu]

Dear Jingle,

I'm sure you've received quite a lot of bells from me during this year. I wanted to thank you for being there for me when my best villager friends refused to accept my gifts until I threatened to send them over to you. We can call it the Jingly Funds for you to use to mail goodies to the good villagers.

Now, for my sincere request, I hope you'll make my villager's wishes and dreams come true this year. It's been an hectic year with everyone falling into pitball seeds for leaving their houses. I know they are all hoping for a better year where they can fish together, hang out, and more.

Sincerely,
Miharu

 

[Kattea]

Dear Jingle,

This year I would like to request a special gift for one of Ellinea's hardest workers, Isabelle. I have never once seen her dozing off on the job, or taking a workout break like her colleague Tom Nook. She simply is too busy drafting up informative morning announcements and effectively dealing with complaints. While I do appreciate her efforts to ensure the enjoyment of everyone on the island, I am concerned that she never sets foot outside resident services. She says it's due to a lack of appealing scenery, however as you will see from your flyover that the terraforming is second to none. Pristine lakes, dynamic cliffsides, immaculate waterfalls. I do believe Isabelle could benefit from a good pair of glasses.

Sincerely yours,
Kattea

Hi Jingle,

This year has been a rough one, as I’m sure you’re well aware. I’ve lived almost an entire year in near-solitude trying to make a deserted island habitable, with absolutely no help from the anthropomorphic animals who insisted on taking up residence on this island with me. I have spent many hours collecting sticks and rocks to craft the necessary tools and furniture to make living here more palpable. However, I cannot help but think of life from before my time on this strange island and wonder if I will ever go back to the place from whence I came.

Since you’re presumably in the business of granting holiday wishes, my desire is simply this: PLEASE SEND BREWSTER. All of this solitude and trying to stay busy doing weird crafts to keep my mind off reality would be far more bearable with coffee.

Sincerely,
Kaylee of Belleval

 

[Minou]

Dear Jingle,

I am very excited to hear you will be coming to my island very soon. The island has gone through major development over the past year since the day I stepped foot on it. It has become a place that I am happy to call my new home along with most of my current villagers who have settled down here: Wolfgang, Marshal, Zucker, Tabby, Whitney, Audie, Annalisa and Sheldon.

I have heard a lot of great things about you and yet you still appear to be such a mystery to me.

Are you Santa's Reindeer? Or are you Santa himself?
Do you actually get to deliver presents to all islands in the world on Christmas Eve? What is your secret for achieving such a feat?
What motivates you to do such good deeds?
Why are your antlers upside down? (Sorry if this question may appear as rude)

I am looking forward to learning more about you once I meet you for the first time.

In hopes you will enjoy your time on my island,
Minou from Miyushima.

 

[Insulaire]

Dear Jingle, I am new to this franchise
So as to your tastes, I must surmise.
But I def want to soliloquize
That I truly do recognize
How much you must supervise
All of the merchandise
You’ll eventually deputize
Me to familiarize
With so I can fraternize
With my animal island allies,
Be they large or pint-size,
Who behaved for the prize:
With them I can sympathize!
My stomach has butterflies
Waiting for you to materialize
And joyfully reorganize
My Thursday to maximize
The jolliness you emphasize.
I’ll wear a Santa disguise
And get lotsa aerobic exercise
Running around to personalize
Gifts my villagers will idolize.
And I won’t ruin the surprise
Of what under wrapping lies,
As the gifts you give apprise
A spirit I won’t jeopardize:
Toy Day as Free Enterprise!
--Yours, Insulaire (...Pshew, you guys!)

 

[WaileaNoRei]

Dear Jingle,
Season’s greetings from Wailea! Here’s a little wishlist from our residents:
Genji - arm wrestle him and lose, but don’t let him win.
Bangle - Maglevs in Love box set for slumber party marathons! (And a guest star spot next season)
Flurry - the book, Steal This Book, but please don’t steal it.
Tabby - talent scout marooned on the island, so she can be dramatically discovered in a way sure to play well in her future biopic.
Ike - space heater - leave it on the stoop; he doesn’t want dirty hoof prints everywhere.
Agnes - audio book - ‘Talking to Flowers about the Language of Flowers’ - her houseplants never listen!
Cole - a cookie a day until next Toy Day!
Soleil - a silk blouse, burgundy, not red, from this year’s Gracie collection. No knock offs please.
Maggie - poetry book, ‘Small Talk and Space Time’ and a notebook in case she gets inspired.
Shep - clippers, to give himself his own haircuts. #2020problems

Mr. Nook sends his regards and reminds you your loan of 2,000,000 bells for your sleigh expansion is still outstanding. No rush, just a friendly reminder.

Happy Toy Day,

Rei

 

[oceanchild8]

Dear Jingle,

We’ve come a long way this year on Westworld, and while I believe all my residents have been good this year, I don’t believe they’ve been happy because they ask me regularly about moving away! My wish is to ensure their happiness.

Dom really wants a home gym to work on his abs.
Marina is a sweetheart and I know she deserves some TLC.
Sherb needs some new hypno music. I tried giving him some music suggestions, but they didn’t fly.
Pietro could use some circus classes to work on his act.
Pekoe would love some new silk fabrics.
Apple could use some reassurance that her pop career is still possible. Perhaps having her do a collab with K.K. Slider?
Beau needs someone to toss out his Comedian's Outfit that looks hideous on him while he's not looking.
Judy will be ecstatic for new fairytale-like dresses.
And please make sure Zucker never goes hungry. I hope he continues to have an endless supply of snacks!
And last, but not least… my baby Marshal. I wish for him to receive only the finest flea shampoo and conditioner for his big, fluffy tail.

Waiting patiently for your arrival,
Karnitas

 

[John Wick]

These are great.

 

[Sloom Lagoon]

Dear Jingle,

I hope you're well this year, I know it's been an odd one for most of the world, but luckily we're safe here on Sloom! We don't have many visitors and even fewer new arrivals, so we've been staying vely healthy and happy on our little island (though Molly id get a cold the other day and the other villagers have still been hiding from her!).
The one thing we have been lacking a bit, as with the rest of the world, is good old fashioned loo roll. Now I know we all like to bast about how we can tough it wild in nature, but we are all a little fed up of using fallen leaves (additionally so when they're atually walking leaves *shudder*) so if you could find it in your mkind heart to bring us a mountain of loo roll, we would very much appreciate it!

All our love and Merry Toy Day,
The Residents of Sloom

 

[Catharina]

Dear Jingle,
I hope you are doing well! I have a small gift request for one of my villagers on our island... It is about Erik the brown-nosed reindeer as he is causing a few problems... And no he isn't being naughty or something but it's about his appearance: He really looks like you Jingle! It is causing confusion on our island and multiple villagers have asked him about presents! This not only makes the villagers upset but also Erik himself. My gift request for Erik is a huge board with: THIS IS ERIK on it for in his garden. As some villagers can't read yet I think it would be a great idea to get a speaker on the board that says this sentence every minute. A big thank you and hopefully see you soon!

Katja from Chérise

 

[Snek]

Dear Jingle,

These villagers are so lazy and make me do everything! And the worst thing is...*sobs in frustration*...I don't get paid for it! Well...this isn't about me, about my island! Let me give you a run-down of everyone and why you need to give them presents.

Erik: He is a sweetheart and his house is winter-themed so he must love you!

Zucker: He makes nice, delicious treats for the rest of the town and rarely eats doughnuts so he is eating healthy! Very good!

Lucky: Despite his preference for Halloween, (please don't hold it against him) he is a good boy.

Stitches: Carelessly tossed aside by a teen who no longer eneded him, he is villager who needs love...and presents.

Merengue: She bakes tasty cakes! Thats a reason, right? Everybody loves cake.

Rolf: He may be bitter but he has a kind heart. He taught me how to Scare people.

Ken: I can vouch for his generosity and fairness. He is also in charge of punishments so he knows how to be good.

Julian: He is fabulous. He is Julian.

Phoebe: She is warm and kind.

and of course, there is Clay.

Yours truly,
Snek

Dear Jingle,

Merry Christmas old friend! I hope you are well and this year has been full of fun and joy.
My year has been wonderful, started off with nothing and now I have more than I could have ever wanted! My best friend Bob decided to come move in to Lilycove recently after I bumped into him on a tour I took to gather supplies. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw those pointy purple ears!! We have been doing so much together recently, we even bought matching christmas jumpers with eachothers faces on!

My one request this year, can you please please get Bob a house or a box, anything for his "friends" to live in.
They absolutely stink, and we always have to hang out ay my place because of this! I would be eternally grateful.

Merry Christmas!
Jthulu

 

[Equity]

Dear Jingle,

Something strange has been happening since I started my island life. Signs about my fitness keep appearing! Even worse, during the Twelve Athletic Items Months of Christmas, this occurred:

Month 1: For gifting her, Poppy gave me one Jockey’s Helmet.
Month 2: For returning his lost item, Marshal rewarded me with two Jockey Uniforms.
Month 3: For delivering her a present, Puddles bestowed me with three Workout Tops.
Month 4: When called out, Tia handed me four Weight Benches.
Month 5: For writing to her, Lily presented me with five gold Exercise Balls.
Month 6: For fishing a mahi-mahi, Audie gifted me six Sleeveless Parkas.
Month 7: For harvesting a starfish, Clay sent me seven Wrestling Masks.
Month 8: For finding her treasure, Blaire awarded me with eight Workout Pants.
Month 9: For catching a flea, Fauna offered me nine Blue Corners.
Month 10: For visiting her, Vesta conferred me with ten Speed Bags.
Month 11: Dodo Airlines shipped me eleven DAL Caps.
Month 12: Twelve Basketballs hailed down from a popped balloon.

But all I want for Christmas is… a Popcorn Machine. Is it foolish to hope for a Christmas miracle?

From a desperate island representative,
Zéphyre

Spoiler: Context to My Letter

I’ve been receiving sporty/fitness items quite often on ACNH, whether from my villagers or balloons... is this a sign that I'm out of shape?

Like you might suspect, my letter is inspired by two songs: “The Twelve Days of Christmas” and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You”. But 12 Days of Christmas seem pretty short; why not celebrate Christmas all year round with 12 Months of Christmas instead?

 

[Nougat]

Spoiler: my entry

Dear Jingle

It's been a while since we've seen each other. I know I didn't show up last Toy Day, but I hope you'll forgive me.. I was island hopping to find the perfect new place to live! And here we are. The thing is... I need your help. In my old place, my neighbours used to drop hints about the gifts they'd like to get for Christmas. It wasn't exactly very subtle, but at least I knew exactly what to get everyone! Our local shop has been stocking these cute new toy gifts, so I've been buying these in hopes that my neighbours will like what I'm picking out... But since you always seemed to know exactly what everyone wanted, I was hoping you could help me out again this year?

Happy holidays, see you soon!
(please bring hints)

 

[princess.looking.for.frog]

Dear Jingle,

I have one wish for this Toy Day, ironically I don't want a toy at all. This year, when you arrive on my island the first time, I wish for a day where Tom Nook doesn't need my money. One day without a mortgage. One day without anxiety.

Tom Nook has robbed me of happiness, and my ability to spread even a single piece of merry and joy. Isn't joy and lobe the very spirit of Christmas? How am I supposed to afford presents for all my villagers? Or even make time to celebrate as I need to earn upwards of 2 million bells for my loan? I need to constantly fish, dive and dig and barely earn a bell. Jingle, my wish is simple. Evaporate Tom Nook for a day (or teach Tom Nook a lesson, it's good enough).

Warm regards,
Anxious Anna
