I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

The original recording of I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus by Jimmy Boyd reached Number 1 on the Billboard charts in 1952, and on the Cash Box magazine chart at the beginning of the following year.

The song was commissioned by Neiman Marcus to promote their Christmas card for the year, which featured an original sketch by artist Perry Barlow, who drew for the New Yorker magazines for many decades.
