A Cartoon Christmas 8

Time to flip the channel back to something a bit more modern, or at least modern for the early eighties. The Cabbage Patch Kids? What a sensation they were for a while, what with parents actually fighting with each other in the stores to make sure their kids got one for Christmas. So much for peaceful little puffy babies born in a cabbage patch, given birth certificates and being raised by kids. To be honest, these creatures were a little creepy to me even back then and much more so in hindsight. Still, if you want to relive those good-old-days, please download Cabbage Patch Kids-A Cabbage Patch Christmas (Parker Brothers Music PB 7214, Stereo, 1984). Parker Brothers? The board game people? How'd they get a finger in this pie?

    This one actually features songs by the legendary Sherman Brothers! They're almost too good for the subject matter.

      That's true, I should have mentioned that. Thanks for pointing it out!

    The Sherman Brothers doing the music for the Cabbage Patch Kids would be like Rodgers and Hammerstein writing a show for Bozo the Clown.

      And yet, here we have it. I don't think Disney paid all that well.

    Those dolls creeped me out too, and I was around 30 when they came out.

      All dolls have a bit of the ick factor around them.

    Oh my - I had no idea there were so many Christmas Albums out there... especially about children's cartoon shows, dolls, and such. My wife will love this as she used to have a Cabbage Patch Doll, when she was in school age. Thank you, Ernie :)
