A Cabbage Patch Kids Christmas
FINALLY!! Can you taste it? Can you TASTE the Christmas specials? I've brought you not one, but TWO Christmas specials in ONE article. Vernon's First Christmas and The Cabbage Patch Kids First Christmas. Aaaaaaaaand it features not one, not two, not three, but FOUR CABBAGE PATCH COMMERCIALS, SUCKAS! Premature babies and ponies for everyone WOO HOO!!!
I had a couple Cabbage Patch Kids in my youth, as I've previously mentioned. I also had a few other related toys like a Velcro playset and so forth. My first Cabbage Patch I got on Christmas, many years ago when I was very young. I loved that Cabbage Patch, and guarded it to the death. No one was gonna fuck with my Cabbage Patch. Here's a photo of the two of us:
As they say in da bidness.... "You can't make this shit up." There I am, probably still in diapers, holding a BB gun and hanging out with my Cabbage Patch doll. And wait, because this gets even better.
There I am STRADDLING the gun with it pressed against my head as my parents stand by taking photos. And yes, that's my oldest brother.... and it was his BB gun. Break out the lawn darts, folks, cuz this is how kids were raised in the 80's! We didn't even live in a space big enough to warrant shooting a BB gun. We had a row house in Allentown for pete's sake! They're lucky I didn't shoot my eye out!
At least that was the year I got my kitchen set, which was the greatest kitchen set EVER MADE. I could go on for hours about my kitchen set and how awesome it was for being completely metal, but we'll save that for another time.

OMG, Vernon looks exactly like Clay Aiken. I didn't get a Cabbage Patch Kid until long after their popularity peaked, but I did receive the velcro playset you mentioned for Christmas during the height of the craze. Story of my life.

I found a photo of the velcro sets! They were called Pin Ups!

Was I the only one disturbed that they made a doll based on premature babies?

AWW!!! The 80's ruled! And that kitchen set you have is bad ass. My older sister just had that kitchen island one from Fisher-Price with the orange phone and the toaster and such. That onw was cool too, though. Do you remember where your parents got it from?

I'm freaking out a little because I just watched the stupid "Cabbage Patch Kids First Christmas" on AOL's in2TV last night... and so help me God, I remembered key scenes from the friggin' thing (the scary rabbit, the gravy moustache on the baby, "The man and the lady!!!", and so on).
This was only the second time I have ever watched the special since whenever it first aired on TV.

I was too young to remember my Cabbage Patch, I only had one official one and my grandma got it for me when I was only 1, she got in a fist fight for it, it was the HEIGHT of the craze... I still have her too. I love the pictures! *laughs* The pic with the gun to your face is hilarious! I love your kitchen set too! I had the most random Holly Hobbie one when I was little. The only thing I ever remember doing with it involved sneaking. My mom told me to never cut my MLP's hair... well fuck that, I had a tape where their hair was cut and then it grew back and it involved some magic pink lemonade, I kid you not. So I decided to cut their hair, so I hid the rainbow trimmings in the fridge.. I got in huge trouble! But your kitchen set rocks ROCKS! I am jealous now, I want one like that!
