Finally got all of my reports from 12/22 onward written down! With all of the holiday chaos, I had no time to post them
I hope everyone's holiday seasons went well!
I also hope everyone in Eastern & Midwest USA are doing alright after the sudden Arctic burst we had (I know the weather caused a few problems on my end of things). Stay safe, and stay warm!
Without further ado, my Missing Reports!
12/22
• Isabelle warned us of the risks involved with buying art from shady sources; Redd was back in town. For the first time in a while, I got to buy a genuine art piece that the museum didn't have yet: a basic painting!
• Recieved a frozen arch in the mail from yesterday's snowboy.
• Found a lost bag in front of Gayle's house. After examining it, I followed my hunch and brought it over to Patty; I was right, it was hers. (She gave me a long pleather coat in thanks)
• Rock update: it's finally popped up in one of the temporary spaces near Rhonda's house! Hooray for no more problems with the snowboy field!
• Failed to create a perfect snowman, but still got large snowflakes from two of the others ❄❄ (I'll be honest; I promptly started whacking the new snowboy with my net out of frustration. Felt good at the time)
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Got to order with pigeon milk today!
• Found a gyroid fragment on the beach!
• Decided to check out some more custom designs...
12/23 (snowing)
• Isabelle mentioned that C.J. was visiting today; although I didn't partake in his fishing challenge, I did bring him three pond smelts for a collectible.
• Took the basic painting out of the mail and brought it to Blathers.
• Patty was thinking about moving away; the literal DAY before Toy Day, no less. I convinced her to change her mind. She's just gonna have to wait until after New Year's.
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Got to order with pigeon milk again!
• Screwed up ANOTHER snowboy and lost my temper. Another beating with the net ensued... I did still get large snowflakes from two of the others, though ❄❄
• Dug up the gyroid fragment from yesterday; retrieved a Ringoid!
• Ordered some last-minute X-mas gifts for everyone. Really shoulda done that sooner...
• Deposited a lot of bells into savings.
12/24 (snowing; Happy Toy Day!
)
• Got dressed for Toy Day (didn't do the full Santa costume this year, but still wore thre coat and hat).
• Dug up a Bwongoid and a Bendoid that popped up from yesterday's snowfall.
• Decided to make a tiny snowman for the heck of it; it somehow counted as perfect due to the size ratios. I couldn't help laughing at the absurdity. Also got a large snowflake from one of the others. ❄
• Helped out Jingle with wrapping paper and gift-giving!
Got surprised with gifts from Rhonda, Kitty, and Pekoe!
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Got wished a happy Toy Day. Brewster's the man
• Prepared my gifts for everyone so I could deliver them tomorrow.
• Realized I'd forgotten to check my mailbox earlier; took the pond smelt model out of the mail.
12/25 (Merry X-mas!)
• Isabelle happily announced that Slider was back in town... (but more on that later)
• Recieved a frozen bed in the mail from yesterday's snowboy.
• Today's HHA S-rank puts us at 236,829 points... (it went down...
)
• Finally realized that, when I went to start delivering gifts, I was supposed to hand out my presents
YESTERDAY. (If it hadn't been for Gayle's reaction to the dollhouse I got her, I never would've noticed) I had COMPLETELY forgotten that X-mas and Toy Day work differently...so for the first time in years, I had to time travel
(I made an emergency stop at Harv's first, as I needed Cyrus's help to get Gayle a replacement present; I also visited Kicks and Saharah while I was at it)
• Ended up having to redo Jingle's little quests so that I could exchange gifts with everyone, which was a little inconvenient, but I still got it done. I do hope everyone enjoyed their presents, regardless. Also remade the tiny snowman
• Visited the Roost after I'd finished and TT'd back to today. Got to order with pigeon milk, so not all was lost
• Screwed up today's snowboy by accident (head was too big due to a lack of spatial awareness), but still got a large snowflake from the other ❄
• Checked in with everyone I ran into; they were happy about thre presents, which was a relief.
• Finally attended Slider's show; he played Agent K.K.
• Opened all of the gifts I'd recieved from everyone (Gayle= Mini circuit; Rhonda= dinosaur toy; Pietro= Dollhouse; Kitty= RC Helicopter; Patty= Pop-up book; Rex= RC Helicopter; Pekoe= Kids' tent; Plucky= Mini circuit; Mathilda= Dollhouse; Francine= Puppy plushie). I liked Francine's the best, as she got me the black one.
12/26 (snowing!)
• Isabelle mentioned that Leif was here; as usual, I didn't buy anything.
• Chatted with a few of my residents as I ran into them. I was happy to see they were all wearing warmer clothing.
• Dug up a Ringoid, a Babbloid, a Twangoid, and a Rattloid that had popped up from all of the snow.
• Found a bottle on the beach with instructions inside for making a pile of cash! (Kinda sad it's just a bunch of paper bills instead of coins...)
• Made another perfect little snowboy, but didn't get any snowflakes... (I later realized it was just because my pockets had been full at the time)
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Got to order with pigeon milk again, found Don at the counter, and saw Tom Nook drop by! An eventful coffeehouse visit, indeed!
• Started putting away X-mas decor and getting out New Year's stuff.
• Decided to check out some custom designs; ended up finding one of my recent patterns in the lineup!
12/27 (snowing again!)
• Isabelle mentioned that Kicks was in town... (but more on that later) She also made the New Year's Countdown announcement, which I also later found on the bulletin board. I wonder if we'll be getting a 2023 balloon arch...
• Recieved a snowperson head in the mail from yesterday's snowboy.
• Chatted with a few of my residents as I ran into them. Rhonda in particular wad nice and bundled up for the weather. I'm thinking she, Gayle, and Mathilda will end up as permanent residents here. Now, who else I'll be keeping or looking for is for another time.
• Dug up a Squeakoid and a Tremoloid that popped up from yesterday's snowfall.
• Made another perfect little snowman, and recieved large snowflakes from two of the others. ❄❄
• Rex was thinking about moving away, but I was able to change his mind. I'd rather there be no moves until after New Year's. (And since I'm still pretty convinced he and Pekoe have a thing, I'm a bit reluctant to let either of them go...)
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Got to order with pigeon milk again!
(Day 3! Huzzah!)
• Realized after logging out that I'd forgotten to visit Kicks, so I logged back in to go see him. Got to catalogue a few items I didn't have yet
december 26th 
Nevertheless, very excited for tomorrow so I can continue my remodeling!
I love how sassy they get though. Tomorrow I might work on cleaning up more around the island to make it easier to build the snowboys. Also need to dig up all these gyroids from all the rain...
i gave her her gift (a yellow bolero coat, wrapped in yellow wrapping paper), and she loved it! 
and a ninja costume in return
