The original recording was by Jimmy Boyd , recorded on July 15, 1952 when he was 13 years old.
It became a hit, selling over two and a half million records in its first week's release and Boyd's name became known internationally.
Boyd was presented with two gold records. Boyd's record went to number one on the charts again the following year at Christmas,
and continues to sell as a Christmas song. Collective disc sales by 1966 amounted to over 11 million copies.
Boyd owned horses, so Columbia presented him with a silver mounted saddle. Inscribed in the silver plate on the back of the saddle were the words,
"Presented by Columbia Records to Jimmy Boyd commemorating his 3,000,000 record of 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus'".

The 4 Seasons Greetings is the second studio album by The Four Seasons.
It was released in 1962 on Vee-Jay Records as a monophonic recording and later again the same year in stereo.

Side one features traditional carols, while the second side contains their contemporary, rock and pop flourishes.
The album was reissued in 1966 on Philips Records with a new title (The 4 Seasons' Christmas Album) and different cover artwork.

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"

(Kiss sound) Wow! Mommy's kissing Santa Claus!
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom, fast asleep

Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa (tickle, tickle, Santa Claus) Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

He saw Mommy kissing(kissing, kissing) Santa Claus
I did! I really did see Mommy kissing Santa Claus
And I'm gonna tell my Dad
Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa (tickle, tickle Santa Claus) Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

I did! I did! I really did see Mommy kissing Santa Claus
You gotta believe me! You just gotta believe me!
Come on, fellas, believe me! You just gotta believe me! (I told you, I told you)
