Jackson 5 - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (1970)

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" is an American Christmas song with music and lyrics by Tommie Connor. The original recording in 1952 was by Jimmy Boyd when he was 13. The song describes a scene where a child creeps down from his bedroom to see his mother kissing "Santa Claus" (presumably his father in a Santa Claus costume) underneath the mistletoe. Boyd's record was condemned by the Roman Catholic Church in Boston when it was released on the grounds that it mixed kissing with Christmas, ignoring the fact that mistletoe, under which many couples kiss, is traditionally hung in many homes during the Christmas season. Boyd was photographed meeting with the Archdiocese to explain the song. After the meeting, the ban was lifted.
