Jingles requires help now. Toy Day is Christmas Eve, from midnight to dawn. Your character must have all the elements of a full Santa outfit and be wearing them in order to trigger the event with Jingles. He will appoint you as his surrogate and give you a magic bag of toys to distribute to your fellow villagers.
To complete the event, you must distribute every item. Your neighbours will have confided their Toy Day or Christmas wishes throughout the month of December, provided always that you talked to them frequently. If you have made a note of each one, Toy Day toy distribution should be fairly simple. If you haven't a clue, simply hand out the gifts.
When all gifts have been distributed, return to Jingles and he will give you a Festive Wreath, even if you did not give the villagers the gifts they actually WANTED.
A portrait or 'pic' of Jingles is the reward for doing the job RIGHT.
From Asgard:
Cally: For this year's Toy Day, I'd really like something pink.
Tabby: You know, I've been really good this year, so I'm gonna ask Jingle for some new furniture.
Camofrog: You know, I just really want a yellow gift from Jingle this year. That simple!
Charlise: Anyway, I wonder what Jingle is gonna give me this year... I hope it's clothes! Softasilk!
Sylvia: By the way, I always eat something fluffy and sweet on Toy Day... Anyway, I wonder what Jingle is gonna give me this year... I hope it's furniture! Softassilk!
Chops: You know what I really want from Jingle this year/ Something that's grey! That'd be so cool...
Cousteau: This year, I'm hoping my Toy Day present is pink!
Williow: Oh, I almost forgot to tell you! What I really want from Jingle this year is a carpet.
Alfonso: Anyway, I'm really hoping my present this year is yellow.

Snowballs in New Leaf
In December, snow begins to appear in New Leaf. I first found that it would appear in scattered showers, with only a mild covering on the trees and bushes, and a small dusting on the ground. As the days passed, however, I began to discover Snowballs. Snowballs are part of every Animal Crossing game and are a means by which one can make the acquaintance of magical snow persons. In all previous games, there was only one such person in the form of the Snowman. Create the Snowman by rolling two snowballs together and he might bestow a special gift upon you. The gift was sent through the post the next day in those games.
Imagine my surprise then when my first such effort in New Leaf produced a Snow Mam rather than a Man and instead of promising a gift, she requested snowflakes. Snowflakes are another new option and I had caught snowflakes in my net prior to my meeting with the Snow Mam but after carrying them in my pockets for a few days, I finally sold them for 500 Bells each as they could not be placed nor stored.
In New Leaf, giving three snowflakes to the Snow Mam will result in a gift of an item from the exquisite Ice Series. The wall and floor are particularly lovely but the furniture is magical as well as each piece has a snowflake engraved upon it. Snowflake symbols actually WERE considered magical runes by the ancients, especially those who dealt with bindrunes. As I studied comparative mythology and specialised in the Northern traditions, I was especially thrilled by the new Ice Series.
There are two aspects to the Snow Mam mini-game that are very pleasing. First, you can collect Snowflakes and make the trade as many times as you wish, provided always that you can find the random snowflakes in your village. Second, she appears never to duplicate items but will give you the whole collection, one item at a time, in sequence. Finally, she did not melt in 24 hours in my village but survived into a second day, giving me more opportunities to complete the series.
