The New Year traditionally is a time of endings and new beginnings. In many cultures, this is defined by rituals of purification (sweeping the house and sending dirt and dust out the door), special foods and objects that represent prosperity (lentils are mentioned in the course of the traditional Quest sequence as a symbol of wealth as they look like coins) and 'resolutions' or promises of future behaviour. The 'Memory Jars' in the Collections Mission represents the 'New Year Resolution' concept. This particular Quest is interesting because it involves all four Characters, one after the other.
Wishing all farmers a very Happy New Year! May you enjoy good health, prosperity and joy throughout the coming year! Thanks to your support and votes, Harvest Moon FDC ranked ninth globally in the last Farm Beauty Contest and I actually received one of the Trophies. A temporary Trophy but even so, quite a thrill... so grateful to you for your Votes and hope you will consider voting for me in the next Contest as well.
A new time-restricted Quest has been released on New Year's Eve. Odd timing, but in any case, it combines the usual Collections Mission with a traditional Quest sequence.

The Lentil Bush is a 'Collectable' which means one cannot buy it in the Market at this point. It produces a random number of Lentils every 3 hours. You will need to place the Lentil Bush as a task in Happy New Year 9 as well as making a Cooked Dish that requires a total of 12 Lentils. You can use RC to skip these tasks of course.
