My Christmas tree is a mix of ornaments from my childhood and ones from later on in my life. Many of them are related to my favorite fandoms, naturally. I thought I would showcase one every other day in December in a 12 Days of Fandom Ornaments series.
Day 9: Baby Stockings
We ate a lot of Rice Krispies when I was a kid. In 1991, you could mail in proofs of purchase and get this adorable little My Little Pony. So Baby Stockings was, I believe, a Christmas present that year. She acquired a jingle bell around her tail and has hung out on all my Christmas trees since. She’s not an ornament, but she’s a baby pony and the perfect size to perch on a tree branch.
I haven’t seen Friendship is Magic or jumped on the new My Little Pony bandwagon. I’m sure they’re great, but I like the look of the vintage ponies better. Maybe I’m just not used to the new look still? I’m not good with change. LOL
I had one of those, also gotten through cereal, only I think she had a different cutie mark. No idea what happened to her in the intervening years. In our house she was strictly a toy, not an ornament. 🙂
