I had like 4 of them. One of them was doing the craze. I was so happy when I got mine. I took off like a quarter of the wrapping paper and saw the part of the lettering which made me release this loud high pitch sound ha!!

That's a classic 80s moment! The excitement of unwrapping a Cabbage Patch Kid was unmatched. The unique adoption certificate and the distinct look of each doll made them feel extra special. It's no wonder they were such a treasured gift. Your reaction sounds like pure joy—an unforgettable memory from that era!
 
Good one. My mom bought me one for Christmas and no I didn’t ask for it. It was just a random gift. I also had a black cabbage kid doll for some strange reason. I don’t know how that happened lol.

Ah, the Cabbage Patch Kids craze of the 1980s! It was quite the phenomenon. These dolls became a massive hit, with parents going to great lengths to secure one for their children during the holiday season. The diversity in the dolls, including different skin tones and hair colors, was part of their charm and appeal. It sounds like your mom was ahead of the curve, snagging those unique dolls for you. Quite a nostalgic piece of 80s history!
