25 Songs of Christmas: The Jackson 5, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Here at Soul In Stereo, we’re counting down to Christmas by featuring our favorite holiday tracks. Here’s today’s Christmas classic:

My wife loves Michael Jackson.

My wife HATES Jackson 5-era Michael Jackson.

Apparently, she can’t take his pre-pubescent, squeaky voice – although she has no problem with grown-up Mike’s adulthood squeaky voice. Nor the fact that even as an adult he work the same sized pants as an 11-year-old. But I digress.

I’ll admit “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” is pretty ridiculous. Apparently Mike is too dumb naive to realize that his mom is kissing his dad dressed as Santa.

Or maybe he realizes that papa Joe would NEVER dress up like Santa so the fat man must be an impostor. Lord, if Joe saw Katherine with another Santa, the Jacksons would be singing “I Saw Daddy Kicking Santa Claus.”

Well, it wouldn’t be the holidays without a family brawl. When it comes to drama, The Jacksons never disappoint.
