I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Written by British songwriter Tommie Connor in 1952 and sung by American Jimmmy Boyd when he was 13 years old describes a boy finding his mom kissing “Santa Claus” under the mistletoe. The child wonders how his father will react unaware that Santa Claus is his father in costume. The record was condemned by the Roman Catholic Church believing that it was adulterous encounter; later lifted after a tête-à-tête with the Archdiocese of Boston
