    My mom was one of these parents! She likes to remind me often how much trouble she went through getting me this doll only to have me draw on her nose with red pen. 😅😂

    Thirty-five years ago, many parents were scrambling to get their hands on a Cabbage Patch doll to put under the Christmas tree. In some cases, they were literally scrambling, as seen in the video in this story.

    My Nan won one in a raffle at the Rink. Her birth name was Molly Doris, but I changed it to Lisa Marie (I wanted to change my name to Lisa). She currently sits in my room on a shelf, watching us sleep. Which doesn't creep my husband out at all.

    My mom (and dad) got me and my sister these for Xmas one year; such a memorable gift for me - still have Julie-Anna somewhere.

    This video on the (near deadly) Cabbage Patch doll craze of '83 is absolutely wild. And to think, after apparently risking life & limb to get me one, I told my parents I didn't like the fact mine was bald...

    My mom forbade anyone to get me these when I was a baby because she thought they were creepy.

    I don't know how many people my parents punched out at the Consumers Distributing, but there was a Cabbage Patch Doll under the tree for me in 1983. And I still have her.
