“I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” by Jimmy Boyd
In 1952, the song “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” reached number one on the Billboard charts. Jimmy Boyd, 13 years old, sang the lyrics to the beautiful holiday tune. It sold two million copies throughout the holiday season. However, not everyone was impressed. The Catholic Church attacked the song for equating sensuality and Christmas. Several radio stations have banned it. The line, “She didn’t see me creep/Down the stairs to have a peep,” was also deemed inappropriate. (Wait. Isn’t daddy dressed as Santa Claus?!)
