Title: What ponies did you get for Christmas as a kid?
Post by: Einhornbaby on December 25, 2018, 03:00:45 AM
Hi there :)

Ponies for Christmas as a kid!! Wasnt that great? Did you get some for Christmas as a kid? Which ones? Tell us here! :D



I didnt get many ponies for Christmas as a kid (most of mine were bought with my pocket money or by my grandma when I visited her) but I vivdly remember that I got the Show Stable with Lemon Drop and the Disco Pony Player for Christmas once <3
We were at my Grandmas house that day and I remember putting the Show Stable under the tree and pretend it was built in a pine forest :P Then Player came to visit Lemon Drop <3
Still have both ponies; sadly the Show Stable didnt make it :/

 :shy: Ponies would be my top ask as a kid every holiday and birthday since 1985 if not earlier... so it's become a blur... but I do distinctly remember getting so soft Paradise and Hippity Hop one Easter and being instantly fascinated... I'd never even seen the so softs advertised somehow... and they felt soooo good...
:0 Thou sadly I don't remember who gave them to me... ducks! They were my only childhood so softs. The same holiday I got a snugglebumm,

 another toy that would blast you back to the eighties if you remember them? Seriously who names a kid's toy that... but the toy was pretty neat anyway. The pony's were always bit hypnotized by the glowing light when they wondered through those caves of quilts... it was a mystery in ponyland similar to the sighting of a UFO... you might have heard the stories, you might have seen one, but you'll pretend you didn't see one because what other pony would ever believe you? :lmao:

One Christmas as a child I got Blueberry Baskets and Raspberry Jam.  They were some of the last ponies I received as a child, because shortly after that they were all taken away from me because they were "girls" toys.

I know I got one or two sets of twins, and I also got mint dreams one year.

I can't remember well how many I got for Christmas but at least I think these were:

Barnacle, Steamer, Sugarberry, Cupido, Baby Lemon Drop, Baby Tiddley-Winks or Baby Moondancer and the Kitchen.

I only remember a few.  My sister and I got the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe one year and I'm sure we got at least one extra pony each to go with it.  The last ones I got for Christmas as a kid were Teeny Tiny Twins Sniffles and Snookums and Colorswirl Springy-because of that I always considered Springy to be their mom.  (I still have all of these-though I might not have all the accessories to the Sweet Shoppe anymore.)

I can only recall one pony that I got for Christmas specifically - Princess Sparkle :) And here she is, nearly (or approximately?) 30 years later!

My godparents split the cost of the Satin Slipper Sweet Shop and I remember opening that up. Then promptly tackling the assembly like I'd been shopping at IKEA. :lol: I was disappointed that I couldn't serve the ponies real teeny tiny ice cream cones. :|

The year the Dream Castle was new, it was split three ways by two of my cousin's families and mine; so we all had joint ownership. Then we each got a different pony, mine was Firefly.

Well, I know which ponies are from my childhood, but I have not idea which ones were for Christmas or my birthday or something else. ^^'

Over the years I know for sure I got the Lullabye Nursery, the dance school, the perm shoppe, the perfume palace, and TAF Megan & Sundance.  I know there must have been more specific ponies but I don't remember any.  Most of my single pony/non-playset pony memories are random "just because" gifts!

I had ponies for Christmas! I remember clearly some of them but others I don't remember if it was then or my birthday because that's only a couple of months after...

In any case, I believe my first pony came for Christmas in 84, which was rainbow Windy. I think it's likely that I had either Masquerade or Snowflake for Christmas as well though I can't be sure. One of my Mountain Boys also came for Christmas. Fireball or Thundercloud. Not sure which.

In later years I know for sure that I had Star Gleamer and Songster (together, not a good combination) and then Starflash which I still consider my "Christmas pony". My sister had Hula Hula (US: Pina Colada) then too. We have lots of pictures of them and that Christmas.

We also had a bunch in the middle 1990s. I think baby Applejack and such were there but I was an early teen then and collecting properly so I guess that doesn't count.

One year my mum answered an ad in a paper for someone selling pony playsets and some ponies and she got a lot of stuff for us then. That was 1990 I think? My sister had the Lullabye Nursery and the Dance School, as well as Sprinkles and some baby ponies. I had the Grooming Parlour and Peachy, the Show stable and Lemon Drop (she was new from Hasbro as the playset was missing her) and I also had Princess Aquamarine who had faded hair and a lost symbol but I was so excited to have another Princess Pony that I never cared at all :)

I got only knockoffs, but I was honestly young enough that I couldn't tell the difference. Though it's definitely nice I can collect the real thing now!

I still remember getting Peachy and the Pretty Parlor for Christmas when I was six; that was my very first pony! After that the only pony I distinctly remember getting for Christmas was Tex, though I'm sure there were others.

I got a bunch of ponies for Christmas as a kid, mostly G3, but my only vivid memory is when I got roller skating Melody and sparkle baby Starflower, courtesy of my ebay-savvy grandpa. He chose those cuz the listing said Melody was from the UK!

I vividly remember getting Desert Rose for Christmas when I was around 9 years old. I didn't play with the pony that much as I preferred Littlest Pet Shops more than MLP's as a kid, but that magical spinning mirror was the best. Photo is from strawberryreef.
